Don’t Let Belgrade D(r)own held its first electoral Assembly on Belgrade Liberation Day, during which the plan for the improvement of Belgrade was presented. New leadership was also elected, tasked with developing the movement’s inner structure and expanding the membership, which has doubled this year alone.
There is a high chance that the upcoming city elections in 2022 would be decisive to begin the overthrow of the criminal regime of Aleksandar Vučić in the country. Therefore, Don’t Let Belgrade D(r)own will immediately start gathering citizens ready for the fight ahead of us. It is of paramount importance to include many people for the pre-election campaign and election observation due to catastrophic electoral conditions. The opposition could win in the city elections; however, it will require hard work and overcoming both the election fraud and media blackout.

The Criteria for cooperation with other political organizations were also adopted during the Assembly. The Civil front alliance will stay the main focus of collaboration. Partnerships with other organizations outside of this alliance will only be possible if the programs are compatible, barring they worked against the public interest in the past.
Additionally, the newly elected leadership stated that insistence on one coalition list for the elections is counterproductive as it deters voters due to dubious alliances. With the coordination on specific issues such as monitoring the elections, free media, and nonviolence, this approach can lead to higher voter turnout and their involvement in the campaigning process.

Zašto se efikasna borba protiv iznošenja profita odlaže do ulaska u EU?
Najnoviji Nacrt, sada već i Predlog zakona o porezu na dobit na papiru ukida višedecenijske poreske privilegije krupnog kapitala, ali u praksi radi suprotno. Daje investitorima prelazni rok do 2037. godine, dok efikasne kočnice za iznošenje profita odlaže sve do dana ulaska Srbije u EU. Više o svemu u tekstu našeg Mladena Vitasa.
Zeleno-levi front i Solidarnost: Brisanje industrijskog nasleđa Pančeva je nedopustivo
Neodgovornom tranzicijskom politikom Azotara je dovedena do stečaja, a 2021. godine je za samo 5,5 miliona evra prodata novosadskoj kompaniji Promist, koja postrojenja Azotare primarno koristi kao skladišta. Promist je u periodu od 2021.godine do danas ostvario profit od desetina miliona evra koji se ne slivaju u budžet grada Pančeva, niti dovode do dobrobiti za grad, društvo i radnike.
