The quota for the Nišava district for the meeting of the Serbian Progressive Party on June 27 in Belgrade is 10,000, of which Niš is obliged to provide more than half, which is why the blackmailing of employees in the public and private sectors has started, said the MP and official of the Party of Freedom and Justice Jelena Milošević.
“There is pressure in all public companies, many refuse to participate in the rally, so they are threatened with dismissal and transfer. And now I would like to ask Vučić and his camaraderie – is this normal, is it this historic support?! Bare force. I have no problem with a million people attending the rally, if they want to. I have a problem with people being blackmailed, pressured and threatened because they don’t want to go. Let those who do it know – that’s why they go to prison!”, she said. she.
She said that the first to be hit is Niš Express, which, according to her, has to provide around 130 buses for June 27, and whose drivers are exposed to “terrible pressure and threats of dismissal” to drive to the rally, while departures in suburban transport had to be reduced.
“I was contacted by the drivers of Nis Express, who are under tremendous pressure to drive to the rally. The directors walk around the bus station and threaten to fire anyone who refuses to drive to the rally. They say that the problem is that they will drive beyond the time allowed by law, so they were advised to take out their cards on the way back. They also say that departures for suburban transport will be reduced, but also other departures. They also say that Nis Express should import some buses that do not meet standards, so now they are condescending to the SNS so that they can get away with that import. Is all this true?!” Milosevic stated in the statement.
She reminded that Nis Express “has been receiving billions from the Nis budget for years and that a new tender is approaching”, and concluded that “we should be obedient”.
“In terms of pressure on employees, the Niš University Clinical Center stands out. It seems that the newly appointed director Milan Lazarevic (otherwise the head of the Niš Movement for the People and the State and SNS city councilor, prim, author.) has to prove himself, so through the head nurse of the UCC and the head nurses of the clinic, he is exerting tremendous pressure to force the nurses to go to the meeting,” she said.
Milošević added that for the first time since the existence of Dunav Insurance, their employees are also “under attack”.
“They were asked to declare whether they are coming to the rally, with the threat that whoever does not come, there is no need to come to work on Monday. They also received forms for safe votes, they need to provide 20 people and enter their names, addresses and social security numbers. The employees say that they have been working for decades and that no one has ever asked them anything about politics, until now,” she stated.
Today, he sent questions regarding such claims to UKC, Nis Ekspres and Dunav Insurance.
