Vučić’s ‘Play’ in Jablanički District: Orders, Fires, and Social Media Madness
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić put on a real show during his visit to areas devastated by catastrophic wildfires in the Jablanički District. Cameras caught his sharp exchange with Agriculture Minister Dragana Glamočić, where Vučić literally threatened: “You will do exactly as I say!”
Fires Devouring Serbia
The village of Dubovo in the Žitorađa municipality is almost completely destroyed – fire ravaged or severely damaged about 300 houses. Firefighters and locals battled hundreds of fires that engulfed thousands of hectares of farmland and forest land. A drought and heatwave only worsened the situation.
Vučić’s ‘Bossy’ Style
While Vučić demanded immediate aid for the affected, his harsh rhetoric towards Minister Glamočić sparked a flood of comments on social media. One user wrote: “This is how I act when my kids don’t want to eat – threatening them with the police!” Others called it an Oscar-worthy performance, while some asked: “What did we do to deserve this?”
Material Damage and Promises
Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the material damage is huge and still hard to estimate. The government promised compensation to the most affected, but many wonder if it will be enough. The village of Vlajna near Kuršumlija also lost a wood processing factory, further complicating the economic situation.
Social Media on Fire
Reactions to Vučić’s performance are mixed but mostly critical. Many accuse him of staging and populism, while some see determination in his words. One user summed it up: “You can hate or love him, but such performances are rare.”
Conclusion
While Serbia burns and people lose their homes, President Vučić puts on a show and issues orders like he’s on a movie set. Is this the right way to lead a country in crisis or just another act for the public? Drop your thoughts – maybe you have a better idea on how to handle this disaster!
If you made it this far, leave a comment – is Vučić a hero or just an actor in his own play? Or maybe both?
