Serbia's Vucic Concedes Defeat as Student Movement Topples 14 Years of Power
Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat in historic win for student movement
After 14 years of near-total control over media and institutions, Serbia's Aleksandar Vucic accepted an election loss to a nomination list assembled by protest-organizing students. Commenters note it took roughly 70% turnout and a clear majority against the ruling party for the result to stand, with vote theft still reported at 5-10% of the electorate. Many draw parallels to Hungary's recent ouster of Orban and ask what comes next for a movement that is not yet a party.
Sorry, they get no bonus point for accepting the elections' results. It's the bare minimum if they want to pretend to be in a democracy. It does not make them any less oppressive.
