Protests against government and police violence in Serbia
The protests against Serbia’s President Vucic have not stopped for more than ten months. The violent intervention by the police only fueled them.
In Serbia’s capital Belgrade, thousands of people are once again demonstrating against the government of President Aleksandar Vucic, who accuses them of corruption and autocracy. They moved to the government building, the Palace of Justice and several institutions of the Interior Ministry, as the independent TV station N1 reported. The anger of the protesters is particularly directed against the recent violent intervention by the police in Novi Sad in Northern Serb. There, the police had acted against peaceful demonstrators last Friday with tear gas, glare grenades and batons, as media reported.
In Novi Sad, the protest on the building of the Faculty of Philosophy there was escalated after their government loyal Dean had forced the students with the help of the police to leave the building that they had held for nine months. The government said that demonstrators had attacked police officers.
The trigger of the protests in Serbia, which has been going on for more than ten months, was the collapse of a newly renovated station vordach in Novi Sad on November 1, 2024, which cost 16 people. Independent experts and oppositioners blam and corruption under the Vucic government for the accident.
