How can RTS blockage be completed, by calling a competition for Members of REM or police repression? – Society

Students last Monday, during the first evening of RTS blocks, announced that she would stop when a new competition for members of the Electronic Media Council (REM), or until the RTS goes out.

Although this blockage would be very easy to end with simple calling competition for the Council of REM, until today there is no indication that it will happen.

And Olivera ZekicThe former president of the Council of REM and the current subparak, expressed hope that the National Assembly would not announce the new competition and that, as she said, succumb to the « crazy pressures of students », but the existing election process will lead to the end.

Representatives of the authorities and sliced ​​tabloids, which until almost them, referred to the most severe criticism of the public service, was united in the defense of the same and simultaneous attacks on students participating in the blockade.

Among many of the blockade, the President of Parliament was announced Ana Brnabic, Which was two days ago, during guest appearance on television Pink, that a public service is a criminal offense for which the fine or sentence of prison was prescribed that the blockers were « sadists who harass women ».

The campaign was joined by the RTS himself, who repeatedly in the announcements that their television has never been in the better position, and they went so far to compare students with the Nazis.

In the midst of non-demanding diary on the public service program, inscriptions were stated: « Students block television, which trusts the most citizens of Serbia » and « RTS trapped in the ghetto ».

During eight days, the Gendarmery blocked only once interviewed – 16. April police Cordons pushed students to make a passage for RTS workers who then entered the building.

There were no other intervinsals, but it is questionable whether the government plan to terminate the blockades just the force provided by the police, as well as whether the students would be detained in that case.

« Unable to turn off the use of force »

Lawyer and legal analyst Rodoljub Sabic, who pulled his candidacy for the Council of REM, indicates our newspaper to live in a country where no important issue can give a reliable response, and that everything in the sphere speculation is.

« The most logical solution would be to accept the student’s request and implemented a whole new procedure, which has been grossly abandoned by seven independent candidacy and it is definitely failed to end it in even only a formally acceptable way, » says Sabic. « 

It reminds that the election of the Council authorities obliges the Law on Electronic Media, which brought power alone and pompously presented as a large step in normalizing our « desperate media scene ».

« He also obliges the reform agenda who also committed themselves to negotiations with the EU. Finally, it also has a financial stimulus, that the Council of European Incentives would receive over 20 million euros, » explains our interlocutor.

Sabic does not consider that the possibility of extinguishing RTS is realistic, because the public service was and a lever of the autocratic management of society is still very important, which the government knows well and will not give it well.

« The use of brachial force against students and then criminal haunts cannot be excluded. It would be further unpleasant. It would be good that the government would be fully legitimate, and that it is also in general and its interest in the team of unblocking RTS. But a series of nervous, convulsive and counterproductive moves, the government shows that he is unable to understand that, « Sabic concludes.

« The regime bursts defiance with citizens with her repressive activities »

The Cocessor of the Faculty of Political Sciences and the MPs of ZLF, Biljana Djordjevic says that he has not shown an honest intention so far, which is a request for members of the Council of the Council of the Western Balkans, which is one of the conditions for the withdrawal of EU growth plan.

« I mention this because this authorities needed money, due to such incentives, there are only internal laws and the rule of law, citizens, civil society, but also external pressure, EU pressure, » Djordjevic points out.

The atmosphere among students and citizens seems quite good to her, and that the RTS blockade could last long because Takovska, Aberdareva and Košutnjak became places of gathering, learning, talking and protesting at the same time, which is all one form of community building.

« For these reasons, I think the best for the authority would be called as soon as possible, it will happen under their conditions, and that it will be independent, and that it is good that the RTS will go in the way it leads the action of the regime, » said the action of the regime, « Djordjevic points out ».

When it comes to the end of the blockade, our interviewer assesses that people are tired and stopped with protests because they are not fulfilled, but their repressive activities were announcing anger and deflection in citizens and thus additionally dismissed protests.

« That’s why this for them with two blades, open repression over the students will not care about the Pink, Hepy or Informer. What they do for now is to delegate the blockades as illegal while they are silent that the fact that the fact that We have no REM is a violation of the law, « Djordjevic points out.

Students and citizens showed that they are persistent in meeting the requests regarding the competition for Consulting Consciousnesses, so it is not expected that the blockades will stop only. On the other hand, government representatives, this blockade serves for the expansion of propaganda against students. However, it would not be surprising that the police cordons in the following days in the early morning schools start with the performance of repression.
