Protest in Serbia #2 - Smederevo

in GEMS4 days ago

I'm a little late with the information, but it's not terrible. Yesterday at 5 pm in Smederevo, a large protest was held, also due to the collapse of a canopy on 15 people waiting for a train. Some were waiting to return home from college, some were returning from work, some were visiting friends, and some were visiting family. They tragically died on 01.11.2024. It has not yet been found who is responsible for the poor quality construction that caused this terrible accident.
Yesterday a huge number of people gathered. The protest began with a 15-minute silence. After that, we went for a walk. Traffic was blocked for an hour and a half in the entire city, this time we made a larger circle, around the entire center of Smederevo. We stopped at the main square in front of the church where banners were displayed addressed to the current government and all institutions that should do their job and provide answers and solve the case of this tragedy that occurred.

During the 15-minute silence, we all keep our phone flashlights on, while a drone films us from above.

This banner originally read "For our children" and that is the slogan of the current government, but this man changed it so that during the protests it read "Through our children". This is because 2 terrible accidents happened during the protest, one girl was hit by a car at high speed and caused her serious bodily injuries, the same thing happened to the other girl, she suffered minor injuries. The people who did this to them are in the SNS party, that is the party that is currently in power and that has been killing us for the last 13 years, and that instead of days of joy, they are giving us days of mourning.

This banner only informs that the employees of the technical secondary school have also stood up and are participating in this protest.

This banner is original and simple. I like when short, simple and understandable. One word on the banner says much more, it actually says the whole protest. It says "students", but the letters written in red together make the word "you are being judged". All of that together can be interpreted as "Students are being judged".

This is where the SNS party is located. They are currently in power, as I said, there have been a lot of accidents and a lot of people have died during their rule, their hands are bloody.

Like last time, there were people who supported the protests, but they couldn't go out into the streets, so they supported us from the terraces.

This wonderful lady did not go on a walk with us, but she supported us, and with this banner she called on other pensioners. "Turn off "Pink", come and support our grandchildren". Pink is a TV channel that is corrupted by the government and our president is shown there and is always glorified and defended.

Sort:  

The lady with the slogan against Pink TV is 100% right. I think there is also a petition for exclusion from the national frequency.
Same for Happy TV 🙂

Yes, he is absolutely right. If there are petitions, that's great, I think those are the 2 worst and most corrupt television channels. They just poison the brain
