It is unclear what radicalization, students plan, so the interlocutors of the Dane of Divided Opinion are.
« Necessary changes to show teeth »
Radivoje Jovović, provincial MP of the Movement of Free Citizens, states for our paper that radicalization is legitimate and needed.
« Nor are the existing workers’ rights, neither the laws serve, but serve the regime and the changes that will return economic security and political power to workers, which will fit the way to exploit and at the same time ‘show teeth’
and the current dictatorship and all future attempts to abuse the authorities, « Jovovic points out.
He adds that the reason for this fact that a safe worker is a strong citizen.
« On the other hand, this year’s first May is a turning point in changing the mentality and practice. The day of the worker’s day is to develop a flag and we are not giving ours’. I’m extremely happy to see that more understands this, as they understand
To what extent is a respected worker important in combating all their, ours, requirements, « Jovovic said.
« Radicalization will not carry out unions »
Yugoslav Ristic, long-term president of the Alliance of Independent Unions Kragujevac, thought that every association forces was well but, in his opinion, in this case it is not honestly by unions in this case.
« Unions are just the way they would not completely ‘stay aside’ in all these events, » he stated Ristic.
Evaluates that a summoning the protest of 1. May with students union students is absolutely nothing and nice sounds in public.
« As far as the radicalization of protests, I am sure that there will be no unions in any form, when the form of radicalizing their struggle I cannot even assume, nor am I dealing with such guessories, » says Jovovic.
« There were no words on radicalization at the meeting »
Zeljko Veselinovic, the Prophet in the Assembly and the President of the Serbian Trade Union Association, who participates in the organization of the announced protest, explains that there were no words about any radicalization in the meeting between students in the blockade and representatives of five republic unions.
« There were a common first protest, where students and unions would hand over the Labor Law, and a common gathering in which the presidents will last until 15 and 30, after which it will be the end of the meeting, » states Veselinović.
It repeats that it is the only thing that has been agreed and harmonized.
« If there are any other ideas and plans, we are ready to listen and hear some suggestions. I expect more meetings in order to harmonize all the details, » Veselinovic points out.
We remind, the protest of unions and students will take place 1. Maja in front of the Serbian government starting at 2 p.m.
