**Anti-Government Banners Appear in Belgrade**
Banners featuring a bloodstained hand giving the middle finger have appeared at several locations in Belgrade. The banners, which say “The Serbian People’s Response to Color Revolution Attempt,” are a clear reference to the recent protests in Serbia.
**A Symbol of Protest**
This symbol has been adopted by student protesters following the deaths of 15 people at the Novi Sad main train station on November 1. Protesters have used the slogan “Your Hands Are Bloody” to criticize authorities.
**The Source of the Banners**
It appears that the source of these banners is the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Members of the party shared similar content on social media, and many Belgrade locations displayed graffiti depicting a red hand with an extended middle finger.
**Opposition Response**
The opposition Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP) responded to the banners with a statement. The party said that the banner’s message reflects the essence of the ruling party‘s politics: repression, fear, and contempt for citizens who demand accountability.
**Quote from SSP Head**
“The core of the SNS 12-year rule can be summed up in one symbol: the middle finger,” said Mila Popovic, head of the SSP Belgrade Board and MP. “It is the essence of their politics: repression, fear, and the ruthless trampling of citizens to maintain power.”
