"Justifying this kind of behavior and declaring the victim guilty is just a continuation of the relativization of the brutal confrontation with everyone who thinks differently and publicly states the tyranny that is happening in Montenegro," said the president of DPS

Yesterday's bonfire, on which free speech was burning in flames, was set on fire three years ago, and since then they have only rekindled it from time to time, announced the president of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS), Danijel Živković.

"When the institutions persecute 'free speech', those who do not keep silent about inaction and the destruction of all civilizational values ​​in society, it is logical that they will also be persecuted on the street. As long as the institutions are silent about the spread of nationalism and chauvinism, it is fully expected that burning will happen of free thought and the literary work of Andrej Nikoladis. When the institutions do nothing to stop the spread of chauvinism, then the next stage is to burn real people, not their puppets," states Živković.

Today it is in Herceg Novi, and tomorrow, as he said, it will be even more brutal in another place, "with the excuse that we do not understand the initiatives and big ideas of the carnival".

"Justifying this kind of behavior and declaring the victim guilty is just a continuation of the relativization of the brutal confrontation with everyone who thinks differently and publicly notes the backlash that is happening in Montenegro. Yesterday's pyre, on which free speech was burning, was set on fire three years ago, and since then they only inflame it from occasion to occasion", concludes Živković.
