as much as 72 per cent of the country backs the protests.
Wow.
The demonstrations are changing Serbia’s image as a Russian ally in the Balkans. The students organise themselves in a form of direct democracy, making daily decisions and votes without fixed leaders. Their demands are in line with EU values.
But the protesters do not trust president Vucic.
I’m woefully underinformed on Balkan issues in general and Serbia in particular, but that much I agree with.
Why is the article so uncritical? It just takes a quick wikipedia run to see how ludicrous this is:
Fusion power is a proposed form of power generation that would generate electricity by using heat from nuclear fusion reactions.
By 2030 they have that up and running? 🤣
And “new-generation fission” is just a wishy-washy cover-your-ass term. Could mean anything. Wikipedia brings up a couple of pages that are again full of terms like “proposed”, “suggested”, “might”.
And then there’s this:
The Italian Council of Ministers approved a plan on Friday to revive nuclear power, reversing the anti-nuclear stance solidified by referendums in 1987 and 2011.

I’m all for this. No, it won’t be perfect. Yes, it will sometimes be abused (e.g. against opponents). But this needs to be enshrined in law: politicians must be held to a higher set of moral standards while in office. Sometimes it feels like reality is the exact opposite: every job requires this, except politics.
