Discussion "Stop Bloody Shirts": We were created to not be a subject – Politics

In the hall of the municipality of Stari Grad, a discussion group called "Stop Bloody Shirts" was organized to protest the brutal beatings inflicted on one of the founders of the Union for Serbia, Borko Stefanovic and two activists, which took place recently just before the holding of the alliance tribune in Krusevac.

When the citizens entered the room where there was no place to present themselves before the beginning of the forum, the famous march of the Spanish civil war "Aj Karmela", written in Serbian language, which had marked the demonstrations of last year "Against dictatorship" in Belgrade.

The panel started with the quote from Bertolt Brecht, who wrote that there are people who "fight for one day and who are important, there are those who fight for a year – they are good; there are people who have been fighting for years – they are very good, and there are people who struggle all their lives – they are needed. "

The head of the Serbian left, Borko Stefanovic, said that his heart was strong when he saw how many citizens had come to support him, noting that last night's party had no character, because in such moments, the division is the least important for the parties. "We need more space," exclaimed one of the spectators, evoking the number of those who remained in the hall in front of the municipality of the Old City, because this space does not could not accommodate all the citizens who had come to say decisively that it was not "bloody petticoats".

– No matter what they do or try, no matter where they break us and attack us, they will not stop us, nor will the change and justice that reigns in Serbia. Such statements indicate that our country is awake and that after dark, dawn rises. The authority tells us that we are enemies. They try to use old, tried-and-true methods of fascism, those that differ and do not declare them, and when you're an enemy, you're no longer a human being; if you are not a human being for this person, you represent a pest and a cockroach for her – stressed Stefanovic.

He stressed that those who differ in different ways are not the enemies of the government, but those who will one day make a better, fairer and more beautiful Serbia. Speaking of an attack against him that occurred last Friday in the Rasadnik Rasadnik in Krusevac, Stefanovic stated that the meaning of this "message" was "If we can do something to you like that, imagine what that we can do for people who are not on the public stage. "

– We are not made to grow muskets at home and to be small people. We were made to not be a subject, said Stefanovic.

The journalist, Vida Ognjenovic, pointed out that an assassination attempt had been made on the eve of a political rally, which is a very serious matter. She therefore stated that "until yesterday" she thought she was a free citizen, but now she thinks it's a phrase that belongs to a bygone era.

– What happened to Stefanovic came from our parliament. Our congregation is an arena of ruined lions jostling about on all sides and their only task is for the opposition to refrain from saying everything. In other words, our parliament is obstructed, we do not have a parliamentary assembly and we are headed only by the government, or rather by one man. Their members of parliament are now at work, banging metal bars on their heads – warned Ognjenovic.

The playwright Sinisa Kovacevic said that for him, the worst combination is created by ignorance and prepotency, with the feeling that it seems that actuarial power rests precisely on this combination. He ironically remarked that Stefanovic had in fact attacked "some honest Krusevans, who then went to the evening liturgy, then to the evening school, and then donated blood voluntarily".

– Then Stefanovic came in and started to insult the icon of the house and his family, so there was violence. I invite you to boycott. What kind of choice can we talk about when Stefanovic's metal hair was combed. We have received what is most sacred, it is freedom, and when it is not there, there is nothing, there is no paradise beyond- above us, "exclaimed Kovačević.

Actor Tihomir Stanic told reporters that he had learned of Stefanovic's separation from the scene at the premiere of Petrijin's crown at Atelje 212; he accidentally looked at the news on the phone and saw Borkov's bloody head.

– Since that time, I've been singing Ljubomir Simovic's song "Balada o Stojkovi" ever since, and I'll be reciting tonight with Borko Stefanovic, "said Stanic, before starting to recite a poem beginning with verse" beats ". his ".

The actor Sergei Trifunovic, after being apologized for the delay, had sent a very brief but effective message to the audience.

– I have nothing more to say to you, dear friends, owners, brothers – in the street! I can not tell you anything other than in the streets! As Gandhi said; "They do not know at first, they make fun of you, then fight you and win." Trifunovic repeated in the streets.

Writer Biljana Lukić, who in her own words was recently physically assaulted for her opinions on Twitter, recalled that events had already occurred in the 1990s and that people had already called foreign traitors and mercenaries.

– When Milosevic started killing, the world came to our rescue. However, Milosevic was against the world and Vucic was his blind servant. This time we will have to free ourselves. People who muscate and lower their heads think that they will be spared, but they will not be spared. Everyone will come to the table, that's for sure. It is therefore necessary that those with less courage and opportunities stand up and say "it was enough". This is the key to solidarity – concluded Lukic.

In the end, Borko Stefanovic invited all those who could, without distinction of colors, to appear before a tribune in Krusevac Friday night to show that they were stronger than the violence.
