Opposition Party: If Government Does Not Want Provisional Cabinet, Then a Unified Front for Elections Needs To Be Created

Dveri presidency member Radenko Martic said on April 24 that if the incumbent authorities continued to refuse to face reality and accept a provisional cabinet of experts, then students, citizens, parties and other social factors who opposed the regime had only one option - to create "a unified front" to run in elections and win.

He added that the opposition needed to focus its struggle on one joint goal - ousting the undemocratic government. He recalled that Dveri had proposed a provisional cabinet made up of experts who would be nominated by student plenums and university professors.

"According to all relevant studies the students have the most support of the people by far. Their Gandhian crusades have shown the way and how to peacefully resolve the social crisis. This is why the widest possible social bloc made up of citizens, different organizations, movements, political parties needs to be created to support the students" which would then begin a unified struggle against the regime, Martic said in a statement.

"The reality is that students have garnered the huge support of the people and as such deserve to find a way out of the current social crisis with the people's help," Martic said. He said that the provisional government "is one unusual way of exiting the crisis," but that the situation in the county was unusual, especially considering that the world's democratic nations supported Serbia's autocrat, led by their countries' interests and the interests of multinational companies, and not freedom, democracy and justice.
