Who’s Behind the Railway Shutdown Before the Protest?
Does it seem like something fishy is going on in Serbia every time citizens try to exercise their constitutional right to protest? You’re not far off! The movement Pokret Preokret has raised its voice again, asking – on whose orders did Srbija Voz stop railway traffic the day before a big protest in Belgrade?
Same Scheme, Same Problem
On June 27, just one day before the protest, trains came to a halt. Srbija Voz announced they received an anonymous bomb threat about explosives on the trains. But wait – this isn’t the first time! Pokret Preokret points out that these “security” situations happen repeatedly before every major protest. And every time, traffic is stopped at the same time, with the same result – preventing citizens from reaching Belgrade to express their dissatisfaction.
Repression or Coincidence?
Is this just a coincidence or systematic repression? Pokret Preokret believes it’s clear that these moves are attempts by the authorities to silence the voice of the people. Remember the protests on March 15, when even city transport in Belgrade was disrupted, making it harder for people to get to gathering spots.
Why Srbija Voz?
Srbija Voz is a state-owned company, and its actions in these situations seem coordinated with higher orders. Could it be that these security threats are used as an excuse to suppress protests? Pokret Preokret demands answers from acting general director Ljubiša Pejičić.
What Does This Mean for Citizens?
These practices not only violate the right to freedom of assembly but also send a message that the authorities don’t want to hear their people. Instead of solving problems through dialogue, they’re swept under the rug, and citizens are prevented from expressing their dissatisfaction.
Conclusion
If these situations continue, we can expect even greater tensions and dissatisfaction in society. Will Srbija Voz and the authorities finally stop using security threats as a tool to suppress protests? Or will we keep watching citizens’ rights being extinguished under the guise of “security”?
So, what do you think? Coincidence or a well-planned scheme? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and remember – the real fight for freedom starts when the voice of the people can’t be stopped even by trains!
