(VIDEO)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

More than 300 membership cards have been returned to the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in \u010ca\u010dak in recent months, claims Vesna Jeroti\u0107 of the \u201cLet\u2019s Wake Up \u010ca\u010dak\u201d Citizens\u2019 Group. Speaking to TV Nova, she said the party had allegedly intended to destroy the returned cards before the elections, but one of its members handed them over to the citizens\u2019 group. Jeroti\u0107 believes the mass return of membership cards may be one of the reasons why the SNS, according to unofficial information, is having difficulty filling the expanded composition of polling station boards.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the final day, there has been talk in \u010ca\u010dak that the Serbian Progressive Party has been unable to fill the expanded composition of polling station boards and that it allegedly offered citizens money to join those boards, a TV Nova reporter said. The City Electoral Commission has not yet officially confirmed whether the party has managed to fill its quota in the meantime. However, it is noteworthy that the SNS delegated two people with criminal convictions to the commission itself, TV Nova reporter Neboj\u0161a Jovanovi\u0107 reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vesna Jeroti\u0107 of the \u201cLet\u2019s Wake Up \u010ca\u010dak\u201d Citizens\u2019 Group says one reason for the local SNS\u2019s pre-election difficulties could be that its members have been returning their membership cards in large numbers in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

@sns_srbija Bro, what is this? The ship is sinking. https:\/\/t.co\/TzGt63xgdr<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps one of the reasons is precisely that membership cards have been returned to the City Board of the Serbian Progressive Party in \u010ca\u010dak in large numbers in recent months. These are all the membership cards that have been returned to the SNS City Board in \u010ca\u010dak over the past few months. They say that returning a membership card can be symbolic, but it can also be political. It is symbolic because you are breaking ties with a party you belonged to until recently and with the policies it pursues. Politically, it reflects disagreement with the moral, ethical, and legal standards that a party promises its members it will uphold,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She recalled statements made by Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 during the campaign, when he said that party membership cards would no longer be required to get a job and that anyone demanding one would be held accountable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps these members also believed the jingles from their election campaign, when the person at the top of their list says, \u2018You will no longer need a membership card; nobody is allowed to ask you for a party membership card in order to hire you,\u2019 and says that they will be held accountable. That is how their campaign jingle is worded, so perhaps they believed that nobody would really need a membership card anymore and that they would be able to find jobs without one,\u201d Jeroti\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to her, after 14 years in power, the Serbian Progressive Party has managed to expose itself in the eyes of its own members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is precisely what returning these membership cards represents. There have been countless scandals. We only need to look back at the past week, without even going back 14 years and listing Jovanjica, the railway station canopy collapse, and Konjuh,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 300 membership cards have been returned to the Serbian Progressive Party, bearing the signatures of Tomislav Nikoli\u0107, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, and Milo\u0161 Vu\u010devi\u0107. The party allegedly wanted to destroy them before the elections, but one of its members delivered them to the \u201cLet\u2019s Wake Up \u010ca\u010dak\u201d Citizens\u2019 Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey say that returning party membership cards in front of the media is popular in our Balkan region, so that everyone can see it. This gives the symbolic act greater significance, and this is probably a message intended to be seen in the media. That way, the symbolic break becomes official and, consequently, more significant,\u201d the TV Nova interviewee concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
