💥 Corruption kills. The Novi Sad station collapse exposed Serbia’s kleptocracy, fueling mass protests. State capture, corrosive capital, and foreign enablers sustain Vučić’s grip—will the EU keep looking away? Read more: www.biepag.eu/blog/serbias... #Serbia #Corruption #Kleptocracy

“Fear has changed sides in Serbia. The protests have shown that average citizens are not afraid anymore… now they see fear in the eyes of the government,” Dinko Gruhonjić told me for my latest on today’s ongoing protests in Belgrade: www.politico.eu/article/mass...
Massive crowds flood Belgrade as months of protests reach boiling point
After sweeping the country, ever-growing anti-government demonstrations have circled back to the Serbian capital.

Ganz Europa wird heute nach #Serbien blicken. Mehrere Hunderttausende Menschen werden auf den Strassen sein. Studierende führen Proteste voller Freude & Zuversicht an. Regime hingegen postiert Schlägertrupps in der Stadt.

Hoffnung, Liebe & Solidarität sind die beste Antwort auf Gewalt & Furcht.

Truly inspiring to see society turn against the corruption of Vucic’ Regime. Students walking all over the country and people turning out to feed them and organising hundreds of protests. youtu.be/dlMt8Jo19OU?...

Seit gestern durchsucht serbische Polizei Büros von vier kritischen NGOs in Belgrad. Vorwand - Veruntreuung von Geldern von USAID - ist mehr als fadenscheinig. Es geht schlicht um offene Repression gegen Kritiker. Serbien ist ein EU-Kandidatenland, die EU muss schnell & unmissverständlich reagieren.

In their latest op-ed for @euobserver.com, DPC co-founders @kurtbassuener.bsky.social and @tobyvogel.bsky.social write that the EU's position on the mass protests in Serbia effectively amounts to siding with the regime and needs to be urgently rethought.
Why is the EU ignoring Serbia's student protests?
The policy posture from Brussels remains on autopilot, effectively siding with Serbia's authoritarian president Aleksandar Vučić against the student-led protesters, while continuing 'happy talk' about...

Wilders schreef een soort Kerstboodschap voor de radicaalrechtse website Breitbart. Geeft wel context aan de onderwijsbezuinigingen. De beste man wil blijkbaar de pandemie van ‘het woke mind virus’ bestrijden door de instituties af te breken en opnieuw te vormen.
