Miloš Vučević, advisor to the President of Serbia on regional issues and president of the SNS party, has unleashed a fiery tirade against the ongoing blockades of intersections, labeling them as terroristic acts by ‘fascist falanges’ harassing ordinary citizens. Vučević compared the blockaders to fascists from the 1930s, accusing them of attacking other political parties’ offices and failing to understand that these blockades will not bring political change nor intimidate President Aleksandar Vučić. He particularly condemned the involvement of minors in the protests, calling it a shame on the parents. Vučević emphasized that the blockades cause chaos and are politically reckless, asserting that President Vučić will not bow under pressure from hooligans and ‘container terrorists’ blocking cities. He expressed full support for the police and security agencies who face violence and accusations, reminding that the police defend the constitutional order despite being attacked and insulted. Vučević criticized the judiciary for releasing detained blockaders, calling it a legal absurdity. He warned that the blockades have been ongoing for eight months and that violence is escalating, potentially leading to even greater societal conflicts. He also condemned attacks on SNS offices and stressed that the tragedy at the Novi Sad railway station cannot justify violence and property destruction. This speech comes amid deep societal divisions caused by protests and blockades, with government and opposition blaming each other for escalating tensions. Vučević declared that Serbia will not succumb to pressure and will prevail, while blockades and violence only harm citizens and the state. Got a hot take on this? Maybe you have a hilarious jab at these ‘fascist falanges’ or ‘container terrorists’? Drop your thoughts — because a little laughter might just be what we need in these tense times!
