Serbia’s Government on the Brink of Madness: Deportation of Montenegrin Director and Chaos in the National Theatre!
Have you heard about the latest scandal shaking Serbia? Montenegrin director Danilo Marunović was detained in Belgrade, questioned by the Security Intelligence Agency (BIA), and then ordered to leave the country immediately! Yes, you read that right – an artist who directed a play at the National Theatre in Belgrade, where his production “Gentlemen of the Glembay” is running, was literally deported like a criminal!
Actor Tihomir Stanić’s Shame and Anger
Actor Tihomir Stanić, who personally knew Marunović, said he felt ashamed of the government’s actions. He emphasized that this case is likely connected to Marunović’s columns for the portal “Analitika,” which apparently upset the regime. Stanić sharply criticized the government for creating an atmosphere of fear, where even children are labeled terrorists and arrested.
Government’s Collapse and Appointment of Dragoslav Bokan
To make matters worse, the government appointed Dragoslav Bokan as the chairman of the National Theatre’s Board of Directors, which Stanić called a “senseless move.” Bokan is known as a militant and aggressive man, linked to TV broadcasters who daily spread primitiveness and fascist-like rhetoric. Theatre staff have already announced plans to block the entrance to prevent Bokan from taking office.
Government Sinking in Quicksand
Stanić vividly described the government’s state as people sinking in quicksand – the more they struggle, the faster they sink. According to him, the government has lost legitimacy and popular support, and calling elections would only bring them fewer votes.
Art as Resistance
Although Marunović was deported, his art will not be banished. The play “Gentlemen of the Glembay” tonight at the National Theatre will stand as a symbol of protest against these repressive measures. Artists and audiences are ready to resist and show that the government cannot silence freedom of expression.
Conclusion
This case is not just about one director or one play. It’s a story about a government afraid of art, criticism, and freedom. A government acting as if it’s at the end of its road, desperately clutching at every straw of power. And the people? They watch and wait to see who will be the first to say “enough.”
Got a hot take on this madness? Or maybe a good joke about a government sinking in quicksand? Feel free to share – we’re here to laugh or rage together, but never to stay silent!
