Is there any way for the government to hear what the citizens, including the opposition, are saying? And what else has to happen so that they can say - it really can't go on like this. Is this terrible tragedy and the murder of fourteen people and three who are fighting for their lives not enough to open the door on the high rampart of the defense of the infallibility of the government. Is it so threatening that they say what everyone knows - this should not have happened, there are those who are responsible and guilty for this accident. And to rain resignations as a sign that they understand the weight of pain and the banality of greed that heartlessly overlooks human lives. Is it decent and normal for officials to spin about responsibility, and for the Prosecutor's Office, whose job it is, to remain silent about the results of the investigation. Finally, what did the president of the state admit to us in the first moments after the accident through the fear that the accident would reflect on the Expo and that now "everyone will be afraid to work and give permits even when everything is fine". So, sometimes it happens that everything is fine.
In this country of violence, injustice and crime, we have come to the point where losing one's office is more terrible than the absurd loss of life under tons of concrete while some people with children were just waiting for the train to arrive. Everything has gone so far that there is no going back. We live in an unbroken war between the opposition, political activists, citizens and the government, which only changes its causes and forms. These days it is held on the streets of Novi Sad and Belgrade. And the government waits, combines, calculates, runs away from responsibility. The matrix is always the same. Against the anger of the citizens, the underground works of the government, which is trying in every way to compromise their rebellion and to transfer it to the terrain that it knows well. There are doctors in phantoms and hoods with special tasks and strange plainclothes police who kidnap activists and intimidate citizens. There are finely divided roles of who defends and who attacks, who is the logistics and who is the punching fist, who deceives the tracks and how in the end everything ends in a mixture of meaninglessness, despair and helplessness.
All the latest protests in Serbia fit into that scenario, like a jigsaw puzzle of our lives, leaving a sickening impression that, in fact, we are not moving anywhere, but just grinding, stuck in our own mud from which we cannot extricate ourselves. And so, day by day, we lose the remnants of hope that it is possible for us to get better someday. And each of us, really, as Sioran wrote, lacks a Sahara where he could roar at the top of his voice. Because nothing else is left. There is an empty space where there is a place for conversation and where responsibility should be established and maintained, subjective and objective, moral and criminal. And the road map was so clearly and precisely formulated by the geologist Zoran Đajić through a series of questions: who carried out the work on the insulation of the building's roof, who supervised it, who removed the metal structure and concrete securing of the tension, who dismantled the marble slabs of the facade prone to falling and designed additional load on the canopy, who cut the cables after the accident and who was entrusted with examining the remains. Finally, when will the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Republic announce itself.
It is clear that the government does not want the question of responsibility to be raised at any point. She is more comfortable in an atmosphere of war, in which she finds her way like her own. In it, she can hide clues, shift the focus and manipulate emotions, she can intimidate citizens and threaten coalition partners and ministers in order to further discipline them. Truly opening up responsibility anywhere would be dangerous for her. Because light must not enter that darkness.
