Serbian Maidan activists have bickering and castling
Saturday's street rallies of the pro-Western opposition in the Serbian capital Belgrade will now be officially organized not by the social movement “1 in 5 million”, but by the political “Union for Serbia”, focusing on the oligarch Dragan Djilas.
Representative of “1 in 5 Million” Valentina Rekovic said that she was withdrawing from the campaign to boycott the elections due to the dishonest position of a number of microscopic opposition parties, which in fact were preparing for the election campaign for local councils.
“We will not participate in the farce of a declarative boycott of elections by parties that are at the same time actively preparing for local campaigns. They are already representing themselves in the authorities of Serbian cities and, thereby, turning thinking people against us,” said Rekovic
The reshuffling of organizers will not affect the scenario of the actions. Today, February 1, there will be a traditional march from the House of Trade Unions to the building of the Television and Radio Company of Serbia (RTS), which the Maidan activists had previously repeatedly threatened to storm, demanding that they be given airtime.
To date, the boycott of the elections has been supported by the main forces of the “Union for Serbia”: “Freedom and Justice Party” of Dragan Djilas, “Doors” of Boško Obradović, “People’s Party” of Vuk Jeremić, “Democratic Party” of Zoran Lutovac.
Maidan activists were not satisfied with the idea of the country's President Aleksandar Vucic to lower the entry barrier from five to three percent in order to give small political forces and associations the opportunity to join the Assembly.
Previously, Djilas’s associates have repeatedly stated that they do not believe in a change of power through victory in the elections, and therefore will seek the overthrow of President Aleksandar Vucic.
According to the latest data from sociologists, the ratings of the opposition, which regularly finds itself at the center of numerous scandals, have decreased in recent months from 10% to 8%.
At the same time, the ruling Serbian Progressive Party is consistently popular with more than 50% of the country's population.
