Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Novi Sad, Serbia, to say ‘NO’ to the tyrant in power and to commemorate 16 victims who were killed when the train station collapsed on them

  1. It’s so warming to see so many people come together to oust the evil in society.

    My wish is for the same spirit to rise up in countries currently experiencing such tyranny. Especially those citizens of a country that has a scarily large influence on the rest of the world…

  3. The problem is, that these people are on the “good” side, they’re liberals. Which means they won’t start a fight, only retaliate at best. Mr. Tyrant knows this very well. He also knows that these people will soon have to get back to work, school, or family.

    So nothing really happens. The people have no real power, they cannot force the goverment to leave, or even to react. Without aggression the people can’t achieve anything, and aggression, opression itself is one of the major things they’re against. They’re in a stalemate.

    The same thing happens in Hungary, though – for now – on a smaller scale. People are powerless against their opressor, unless they become the very thing they object. The dictator owns everything, the economy, the jury, the law enforcement.. the limits on their power are only illusory. Russia is down this rabbit hole by far the most, but Turkey is on this path too, even USA itself, and several others are heading this way.

    Democracy, and all the international institutions and agreements sworn to protect it, have failed the people. Badly.

    Our leaders have failed us, including the EU. They just watch in silence and throw around powerless, meaningless sanctions and threats, while the tyrants just laugh at them. Same way as they laugh at this crowd.

  4. > Parliamentary *elections* will be held in *Serbia* by 31 December 2027

    Given the current trend (of the government giving close to zero fucks) we can expect these protests to continue until then as I see it.

  5. A gang of duped fools

    Serbia needs its own Tian An Meng

  7. We had this in Belarus. Hope Serbia would do it faster – our dictator still slowly rotting in power.

  10. Note that every time there is a protest, the government stops all busses and trains operating to/from the location. If transport was available the turnout might have been much much bigger.

  11. It’s so good to see this many people genuinely care about this.

  12. I just don’t get it… Did they actually expect a “Tyrant/Dictator” to peacefully hand over power? Are serbs really that uneducated? In the Balkans we have a commonly used proverb which says “The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.” So unless they take some force action, everything will stay the same.

  13. this is so beautiful to us…

    this is so beautiful to us, because in so-called amazing london 70+ died in a fire*

    caused by similar corruption… nothing has been done, as for protests… no way.

    *two were my students from italy, others were n’bors we’d see in the pool or gym
