Students in Belgrade Blockade Demand Snap Parliamentary Elections

The protesting students in Belgrade have announced that they are calling for early parliamentary elections.

“We demand the immediate dissolution of the National Assembly and the calling of early parliamentary elections in accordance with Article 109 of the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia,” the students in blockade posted on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

They believe that democracy is the only proper way out of the crisis.

“We call on the people to support the list to which the students in blockade from all higher education institutions in Serbia will entrust their confidence, so that the scales of justice may tip in favor of truth,” the statement said.

They also emphasized that the roots of government corruption have penetrated too deeply into state institutions, making it impossible for them to carry out their duties independently.

    The funny thing is, up until now, it was a dead man’s race. The students trying to resolve their contradictions of revolutionary fervor and liberally brainwormed non-violence (which has now been resolved by embracing those liberal brainworms and with them, representative democracy) and Vucic, who is just laughably incompetent. Unlike his predecessor Milosevic, he has absolutely 0 backing in any discernible ideology whatsoever, other than pure clientelism and self-interest. His regime is a house of cards, it’s only the students’ disorganization and their fanatic adherence to non-violence that has kept him in the game this long.
