Ana Brnabic and SNS on the Offensive: Where Is the Opposition When It Comes to Defending the Serbian People?
Have you ever seen a political scene where the ruling party literally yells at the opposition to finally speak up? Well, Ana Brnabic, the Speaker of the National Assembly and Vice President of SNS, is doing just that! All because of the recent concert of Marko Perković Thompson in Zagreb, which sparked a storm of reactions across the region and Europe.
The Concert That Set the Region on Fire
At the concert in Zagreb, thousands of people chanted slogans like “Za dom spremni” (Ready for the Homeland) and “100 kilometers of Jasenovac.” For many, it was a shock and a mockery of the suffering from World War II. SNS immediately reacted and addressed the European Parliament, European Commission, and other global institutions, demanding condemnation of such fascist outbursts.
Where Is the Opposition?
But here comes the biggest circus! Brnabic publicly called on opposition leaders like Dragan Djilas and Marinika Tepic to speak up and send letters to their sister parties in Europe. Because SNS has already done that – not once, but multiple times! They reached out to the European People’s Party, Social Democrats, Greens, even Israel and OSCE. And the opposition? Not a peep.
Political Game or Genuine Concern?
Brnabic accuses the opposition of speaking up only when it’s time to attack Serbia and the Serbian people, but when it comes to defending Serbian victims, there is not a single letter or reaction. Even media and NGOs have not sent any messages of support to Serbian victims, while Serbs continue to be labeled as a genocidal people.
Respect for the Victims
Despite the tense situation, Brnabic expressed condolences to the victims of Srebrenica and other Serbian victims, showing that SNS wants every victim to be respected but will not allow revisionism and fascism.
What Does This Tell Us?
This drama around the Thompson concert and the reactions of the government and opposition reveal deep divisions in Serbian politics. While SNS uses every opportunity to present itself as the protector of the Serbian people, the opposition remains silent or focuses on other topics. Is this political strategy or an inability to confront such issues?
Conclusion
In a world where history is often used as a weapon and politics as a stage for performances, the question remains – who really defends the Serbian people? SNS claims it’s them, and the opposition? Looks like they’re waiting for someone else to write their letter.
