Miroslav Aleksić, president of the Narodni Pokret Srbije (NPS), stated today that the government fears a unified anti-regime bloc and is actively attempting to divide opposition forces.
“We must not allow conflicts within our own ranks. It is essential to maintain the formation of a united column, as long as even the smallest opportunity exists,” Aleksić told TV Blic.
He emphasized that a joint opposition list and a “referendum-like” political atmosphere are key strategies for contesting elections under unequal conditions. Aleksić also highlighted the importance of local elections, arguing that candidates from local communities—who best understand their municipalities’ needs—should lead in accordance with local self-government powers.
Aleksić criticized the government for humiliating citizens more than ever, claiming it manipulates fear and poverty. “The authorities offer various cash and aid packages to impoverished citizens in exchange for votes, trampling on the last remnants of their dignity,” he said.
He further described the current political struggle as a fight against systemic corruption and mafia-like control. “The government has usurped the people’s will and does not win votes through fair and free elections. Corruption has become ingrained in daily life, effectively legalized by those in power,” Aleksić stated.
