Have you ever seen a politician whose family home is surrounded by protesters blocking the street, and he calls it a call for lynching? Miloš Vučević, leader of the Serbian Progressive Party and advisor to the President of Serbia, just experienced that. Last night’s gathering in front of his house in Novi Sad was not just a protest – according to him, it was a direct call for lynching with echoes of the 1930s.
Vučević claims that the demonstrators blocked the street where the only city maternity hospital is located, disturbing new mothers and medical staff. Is this just a protest or sheer disregard for the most vulnerable citizens? He accuses the group of convincing themselves they have the right to do whatever they want – blocking streets, coming to people’s homes, and even attacking his friends and neighbors who spontaneously gathered to support him.
According to Vučević, the police did their job professionally, but he doesn’t hold back calling the demonstrators cowards and hyenas. He is especially harsh towards certain members of the judiciary and legal profession, including senior court associate Nadežda Joveš Grbić, whom he accuses of coming to his house and calling for lynching. He also called lawyer Srđan Kovačević “Đilas’s separatist lawyer,” accusing him of inciting lynching.
Vučević thanked the President of the country, his brother Andrej, the Serbian Patriarch, and his neighbors and friends who showed “what Serbian defiance means.”
This situation sheds light on deep divisions in society and the political atmosphere in Serbia. Is this just another political show or a real threat to safety and peace in the community? While Vučević says his family is disturbed, and his mother and sister are struggling with the situation, the question remains – where is the line between the right to protest and lynching?
If you think this is just another episode in an endless political soap opera, you might be wrong. This is a story about how politics mixes with personal life, how the street turns into a battlefield, and ordinary people become hostages of political conflicts.
What do you think? Is Vučević a victim or a provocateur? Or maybe it’s time for all of us to pause and ask – where are we headed? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, or just laugh at this political drama that looks like a bad movie!
