Green-Left Front (ZLF) MP in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia Radomir Lazović announced that he was attacked today in front of the National Assembly, that he managed to detain the attacker, after which "the police reacted professionally."
"He physically attacked me, lunged at me and hit me with his shoulder while I was walking down the street. It seemed to me like he was sent to convey some message, I don't know if to intimidate me or just upset me. He tried to run away, but I managed to follow him and notify the police, who responded professionally. Fortunately, it didn't escalate into anything more serious," Lazović wrote on social media.
He also stated that this attack is "just one in a series of incidents, attacks and threats they are experiencing because of what they are doing in the National Assembly and as ZLF."
"I will remind you that my colleague Biljana Đorđević was followed and threatened with slaughter by one of the thugs from 'Ćaciland', also when she was leaving the parliament. On Monday, I also have a trial for the previous attack, when I was attacked on the parliament steps by the Progressive Party stormtrooper Janko Langura," Lazović wrote.
He added that he and other colleagues receive dozens of threats every day, and that an "open media campaign in the regime's hate factories" is being waged against them.
"Literally every day, at least one article is published in which we are dehumanized, declared traitors, Ustashas, or a threat to the state. If they are ready to attack MPs for the positions we express in the National Assembly, what can citizens expect who are literally persecuted, arrested, beaten, and fired for daring to speak out," Lazović emphasized.
