Consumed Fresh Or Wasted

Serbia has been engaged in the biggest student anti-government protests since the 90's, when the students demanded the end to the terror regime of Slobodan Milosevic. Today, they are demanding official government accountability for many things, but the start of it was the tragedy of November 1st, when a railway station that was supposed to have been renovated collapsed and killed 15 people. Almost all the universities in Serbia are blocked by students, who have overtaken the buildings of their universities and faculties and are sleeping there as a part of student blocades. In the past couple of weeks, high schools all over Serbia joined the blockades, as have the agricultural workers. This is HUGE, because this is a product of decades of Aleksandar Vucic and SNS's terror government that has stolen, murdered, robbed, and opressed the people of Serbia since they came in power. The government is lying about fulfilling the students' demands, they have been sending paid thugs to beat on the protesters and to drive their cars into the masses, they've intimidated and arrested peaceful protesters and still the protests continue, because students are not giving up now as they didn't give up in the 90s.

Guys. Guys. Students are still blocking the universities all across Serbia. But it's not just that. From today, all the lawyers have stopped working for this week in protest of an incident that happened last week, when a car (suspected to be someone paid or working for the corrupt system and the fascist autocratic SNS political party) hit a 20yo girl from Kraljevo who was standing on the sidewalk during the ongojng peaceful protests in Belgrade. High schools and primary schools are also not working. Also, today, 20/1/25, teachers and all who work in education have voted for a general strike!! I can't even explain to you all how huge all of this is!!! (Also, massive protests happened on friday because of the corrupt state broadcaster and the way they've been "covering" the protests, basically they were covering SNS's ass!)

There is also a call for a general strike on this Friday (Jan. 24th). The goal is for as many people as possible in the country to buy nothing, not visit any venues, and not go to work. If you are unable to organize a strike with your coworkers, some people have suggested donating blood to get a note excusing you from work. You can also ofc use a personal or sick day, if you have those available.

Btw I just came across this article and this is actually the best summary of this whole situation ive seen so far:
