The president of the Freedom and Justice Party (SAA), Dragan Djilas, said that this is not the time to talk about how many columns the opposition will go to in some upcoming elections, or to bid for who is the man who should one day be the opponent of the president of Serbia.
Djilas said that when he addressed citizens through the social network Facebook, when he announced the World Cup assembly, which will be held on Saturday, October 3.
“What I believe is the most important and that is the message that will be sent tomorrow from the SAA Assembly that it is necessary to create a great front in which there will be parties, movements and citizens, who will fight for this madness in which” Today we live in some way, “said Djilas.
He added that the consequences of the eight years of government of this regime are terrible and that each day brings new consequences.
Djilas also stated that it will be very difficult to start “the whole story in the right direction when the government changes.”
“There are really serious possibilities for that, we at the SAA have a serious plan and tomorrow we will present it in various areas of society, in the economy, in the economy and in education, in culture,” said the leader of the SAA .
According to him, that part wants to deal with life, not Aleksandar Vučić. “Let’s not talk about Vesić, Martinović, Orlić, because they have already said everything they have, so let’s try to make people listen to what we have to say,” he said.
For people to hear a different opinion, he said, the media is needed, because now a different opinion can be heard only in a few free media that are seen and heard by about 20 percent of people, and another 20 percent through social media, while 60 percent of Serbian citizens. does not know what is happening.
“The media are very important because they rule the world. If you don’t have information, you cannot draw conclusions, if you have the wrong information, your conclusions are wrong. Research shows that the average citizen in Serbia between the ages of 55 and 64 years he watches television for seven hours and 38 minutes a day. ” and those over 65 spend seven hours and 50 minutes a day watching television. That explains everything to us ”, concluded the president of the SAA.
“People don’t want a state where officials are associated with organized crime.”
The president of the Freedom and Justice Party said in an interview with Betty that he is sure that in the next year and a half there will be a change of government in Serbia at all levels. Djilas says his optimism is based, above all, on the fact that people have overcome fear and that they no longer want to live in a country where the highest officials are associated with organized crime and corruption.
He estimates that early parliamentary elections will be called at the end of next year, “because the current situation, in which one man and one party have unlimited power, in which there is no opposition in parliament, is unsustainable and is leading Serbia to a depression “.
This government is behaving as if a new day never dawned, as if tomorrow did not exist. It is the last hour to make Serbia a normal state governed by the Constitution and laws and in which the value system in all areas will not be at the level of ‘Cooperatives’. “Couples,” said the president of the SAA.
When asked how to allow citizens to freely express their will in elections, Djilas said he hopes for an agreement between the government and the opposition under the auspices of the European Union, the implementation of which will guarantee equal electoral conditions for all participants. “It is clear to everyone that when there are elections in which the majority of the opposition does not participate, and those who participate cannot win even two percent of the votes, then there is a problem in this country that must be solved. That problem only it can be solved by agreement and agreement, “said Djilas.
According to him, Serbia is the only country in Europe where there is no opposition in parliament. “Three parliamentary groups in the European Parliament (EP), with 311 deputies, supported our request to send European Parliament missions to Serbia, which will deal with press freedom and the rule of law,” said Djilas.
He points out that the opposition hopes that Europe will find out what happened in northern Macedonia and Montenegro, and that is an agreement between the government and the opposition with the mediation of MEPs. “When an agreement is reached on the electoral conditions, then the citizens will have the opportunity to freely express their will in the elections, which will send this regime down in history,” Djilas said.
“There are more people in Serbia who can beat Vučić”
When Beta asked what he specifically expects from the agreement with the authorities with the mediation of the EP, Djilas said that it is necessary for RTS to become a “real” public communication service for the citizens of Serbia. “It is difficult to expect change if the opposition does not have the ability to communicate through the media with at least 50 percent of the population. Today in Serbia, in the 21st century, we can communicate with only 25 percent of the citizens. through two cable televisions, through Facebook and Twitter with many more. ” he pointed.
He added that MEPs are also expected to help prevent election theft. “Create a mechanism to control the entire electoral process, and not just the electoral campaign. I am absolutely convinced that this would be enough to achieve a change of government,” said the SAA leader.
When asked if the opposition in Serbia can find its Zdravko Krivokapic, as happened in Montenegro, Djilas said that there are more people in Serbia who can beat Aleksandar Vucic. “The opposition will have a candidate for the presidency who will unite Serbia. A man who is respected by Serbia, and who will offer unity, and will not share hatred,” said the SAA president.
Djilas estimated that the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) with all its coalition partners cannot count on more than 1.8 million votes in regular elections. “For Vučić, from the conviction of 600,000 – 700,000 insufficiently informed citizens and many more for fear of their jobs, as well as several thousand who were allowed to steal money from the state without control. The SPS has been reduced to 300,000 votes and all other satellites cannot collect more than 150,000 votes, ”he said.
If there were about four million voters …
Djilas estimates that the opposition is likely to win the next election if some four million voters go to the polls, which he says is quite realistic.
Asked whether the opposition can explain to citizens that a change of government is possible in elections, the SAA leader said that most citizens are already aware that a change of government must take place. “In the 1990s, citizens thought that Milosevic would rule as long as he lived. It was said that there was no opposition, that Draskovic and Djindjic were not united … And in the end, when Milosevic fell, we all wondered how it was possible that” One man has been destroying Serbia for so many years. It will be the same now. It will be an even bigger shock, “said Djilas.
He stated that the opposition in Serbia must act on one front, together with citizens who are against the current regime. “You have to create a united front. It doesn’t matter at all how many columns, divisions, brigades are inside. Let’s try not to attack each other, let’s set a common goal, ”said the SAA president.
Asked what the opposition can guarantee to citizens if it comes to power, Djilas said that a change of government at the same time would mean the end of crime and corruption in state bodies, “which is measured in billions of euros.”
By all possible research on democracy, freedom of the press and the rule of law, Serbia ranks among the last in the world. Even, according to the Forbes list, we are in the penultimate place in the world in the fight against kovid-19, only below us is Colombia. on corruption in Europe, “he said.
Djilas says the new government will take particular care of senior citizens who now live on the “edge of existence.” “There are 250,000 people over 65 years of age living in Serbia who have no income because they have never worked. They must be provided at least 100 euros a month. It is unacceptable that a million retirees receive less than 25,000 dinars. Well, those people do not even they even have medication. ” Not even for food, ”says Djilas.
“There is money for higher pensions and higher salaries, but a lot is stolen and spent on unnecessary things. From the construction of football stadiums and six-lane roads (Nis-Pristina), or the allocation of hundreds of millions of euros for the purchase of media, it is more important to increase the salaries of teachers, doctors, medical personnel, educators, people of culture, increase pensions and return the money stolen to retirees, “he said.
“The government boasts, and more than 300,000 workers receive 250 euros.”
According to him, the government boasts an average salary of 500 euros, “while in Croatia the minimum wage is 520 euros.”
“More than 300,000 workers in Serbia receive a minimum wage of 250 euros. There is no reason why we cannot define the minimum wage at least 350 euros, because a salary less than 350 euros is not worthy of a man,” said Djilas .
He estimated that Serbia, with a debt of 28,000 million euros, is on the way to becoming an over-indebted country. He added that the state must take a step towards citizenship and make strategic decisions and plans that lead to prosperity in this country, but without new loans.
“In many more developed countries, wages are several times higher, but business and corporate owners live several times lower than business owners in Serbia. As regards workers, the situation is reversed. That is why I defend state capitalism because the state must have control, a mechanism that will protect the level and position of the workers, “explained Djilas.
Instead of subsidies to foreign investors of 150,000 euros per job, according to him, the new government will give farmers 150 euros per hectare. “The state will guarantee the price of agricultural products five years in advance and farmers will receive fuel on which they will not pay special taxes,” said Djilas.
“A Romanian anti-corruption model is needed”
When asked by Beta what the opposition will do, if it comes to power, in the fight against crime and corruption, Djilas said that Serbia needs a Romanian anti-corruption model.
“None of the state officials will be able to go to sea for eight or 80,000 euros without explaining where the money came from. Every politician will be obliged to be accountable to the people where they live and how they fly, how they pay for plane tickets, how educates children in privacy. ” “The special prosecutor will be independent and the police from his prosecutor will be separate from the police minister, who is a political figure. There will be no compromise with criminals. People want justice and a better life,” Djilas said.
He said it was a tragedy that the smartest and most educated part of society kept silent. “Since 2012, every time someone criticized the government’s decisions, they were the target of the regime’s tabloids. Remember what happened to Sasa Jankovic and Sasa Radulovic, with whom I disagree politically on many things, but now it is not. Or Ivan Ivanovic and Jugoslav Cosic, do you remember how Bishop Grigorije fared when the government thought he would run for president, he immediately became a thief and a man advocating for the demolition of the San Sava temple, and the repeaters and counterfeiters have no future “, Djilas concluded in an interview with Beta.
