You talk about how the government in Canada treated people who don't think the same way as them. We in Serbia are now living that experience, for the umpteenth time. Serbia is far from Canada, but I am sure that the voice has already been heard from here and there. It is about the fact that the canopy fell at a railway station that was reconstructed. 15 people died. The reconstruction went through companies close to the authorities, so no one was called to account. That's why the students stood up, united with the teachers and professors who were already expressing their dissatisfaction with the below-average salaries. For four months now, an increasing number of people have been walking the streets and demanding the fulfillment of four demands, the first of which is to report who is responsible for the accident. It is hardly talked about on national television, many live in a media blockade. And this month, teachers were left without pay, punished for their solidarity with students.
