I know that this is nothing new for Balkans or Eastern Europe in general, but hear me out.

A Minister of Family Welfare and Demography(yeah you can already guess by the name of this shit position created in 2020) who thankfully has only like 2% votes has expressed the need to make a new obligatory rule for kids in school to wear uniforms in tricolors of flag, mandatory saluting to flag every day and 3-finger salute with raised hand… Yeah sounds familiar.

This biznatch is basically unhinged conservative who won’t shut up about immigrants, abortion and LGBT while calling Orban ‘‘our brother’’, praising Hungary’s fascist laws on this and literally advocating for open fascism and ultra-religion.

The fact the she has the position of minister, while having so little votes and can openly spew such statements is further proof that this country is descending into fascism even faster than I thought even after all ultra-religious propaganda and spread of church, open racism, praising fascism etc…

      Unfortunately not, communist party is very small and communism is literally the national boogeyman. Only ones are old people who miss Yugoslavia. Same situation in Montenegro, Croatia etc.

        With the communist party, do you mean the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia? What is your opinion on them? And what do you think of Serbian Left?

          They’re absolutely the best we have since the goal is reunification of SFRY but under ‘Stalinism’ but unfortunately they’re not that popular. It’s in shambles, no organization, little votes and divided into a few parties instead of everyone merging into NCPY.

    My friend in the region’s painted a pretty grim picture. I’d heard scuttlebutt about one of the local opposition figures getting hospitalized twice?
