On Monday, as opposition politicians actually confronted the judgement partnership over a train station ceiling collapse that left 15 people dead, a fight broke out in Serbia’s parliament. The session, originally scheduled to examine the 2025 finances, descended into chaos with cooled arguments and altercations.
The event comes as a result of the recently renovated train depot in Novi Sad, Serbia, that has become more and more popular.
Radomir Lazovic, a member of the opposition Green-Left Front, placed a controversial symbol on the author’s system showing a dark side with the message “you have bloodstream on your hands”. Health secretary Zatibor Loncar confronted Lazovic, sparking a fight as other legislators rushed forth, shouting, pulling, and yet striking one another. Opposition representatives chanted “killers, murders” while holding banners depicting President Aleksandar Vucic with bruised hands alongside the comment,” No one is to get blamed”.
The government’s opposition to allegations of corruption and fraud have been fueled by the collapse.
A former minister was among the 12 people who were detained last year, according to critics, who claimed the motion was too late to quell public outcry. Opposition leaders claim that the government waited until after the building started to hold those accountable accountable and that Milos Vucevic, who was the mayor of Novi Sad at the time, should resign.
But, Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic refused to contain a discussion on the crisis or the opponent’s no-confidence motion against the authorities on the day’s plan. The criticism has been accused of inciting violence by the ruling coalition, including at recent demonstrations close to the station and in congress.
The legislature session was briefly halted in the evening due to opposition members ‘ noise and whistles, but it quickly resumed.
Serbia, which wants to be a part of the EU but opposes Union plans toward Russia, is in increased political tensions as a result of the tragedy.
