In the XNUMXs, Rambo Amadeus said, holding up Milosevic's picture: look at this man, he is honestly lying.
That honest lie is something that is a political phenomenon that occurred in Serbia in the last decade of the 20th century, and that honest lie is also practiced by Aleksandar Vučić. That's why I don't believe anything he says. I think it's the most ordinary mimicry.
This is how Branka Prpa, historian and lifelong companion of the murdered journalist Slavko Ćuruvija, commented on the responsibility of SNS leader Aleksandar Vučić (minister of information at the time of Slavko Ćuruvija's murder) for the situation in the media, his commitment to investigate murders journalists and the political background of the murder of Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić, reports Blic.
Prpa assessed that the failure to carry out the lustration after October 5 is one of the main reasons for the current situation.
"If lustration had been arranged after October 5, they would never have been in power, because they would have been lustrated. October 5 failed in that. Those people were never held accountable for what they did while they were in government positions. And that to me today we are paying. After the murder of Đindjić, no one had the political courage to do it," Prpa assessed.
Prpa believes that political kitsch is at work in Serbia today, which, as he says, "is at the root of all totalitarian regimes of the 20th century."
Journalism capitulated
"The past of the elites in power and the hypocrisy with which they accuse us of ruining Serbia is unbearable. People who, like no one else in the last 200 years of Serbia's history, destroyed Serbia. And now we have a classic exchange of theses, they present themselves as missionaries and saviors who will now fix and change the reality", said Prpa with the assessment that Serbian journalism "unfortunately capitulated to that reality".
Half an hour after the article "Ćuruvija met NATO bombs" was read on RTS, a journalist called on the phone to say that Aleksandar Vučić had called to say that this would not happen again.
This should have shown that Vučić is empathetic towards the situation in which Slavko found himself. I convinced Slavko that he was trying to anesthetize him so that he would not think that he was in danger and to neutralize Slavko's defense mechanisms - said Prpa.
