We will celebrate for a month when we remove ... Orban
Euphoria over Orban's fall from power after 16 years in neighboring Hungary has not subsided here for three days. As if we didn't remove the Hungarian Prime Minister, but our own (no, Macuta) but the real president.
TL;DR
- Euphoria in Serbia over Viktor Orban's election loss in Hungary, seen by some as a potential signal for regime change in Serbia.
- Celebrations occurred in Novi Sad and other cities, with people gathering to express joy over Orban's defeat.
- Analysts, including Boško Jakšić and Nikola Ilić, believe Orban's loss is concerning for Serbian authorities and encouraging for Vučić's opponents.
- Sociologist Ivan Živkov notes the event is significant for Europe and negative for Aleksandar Vučić's regime but warns against overwhelming euphoria due to systemic differences.
- The article quotes Siniša Kovačević describing the Serbian public's prolonged suffering and hatred as a reason for their strong reaction to the fall of a neighboring 'dictator'.
- The sentiment echoes the slogans from 1990s student protests against Milošević, suggesting a similar long period of celebration would follow Vučić's removal.
