-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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.

Oh I am not under any delusion that these will lead anywhere too meaningful. Just suprised and impressed they have sustained their movement as long as they have.

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.
