Scuffles Break Out in Serbia’s Parliament
Fighting broke out between lawmakers from the ruling party and opposition members in Serbia’s parliament on Monday. The violence occurred as the opposition tried to discuss the recent roof collapse at a rail station.
The accident killed 15 people in Novi Sad, a city in northern Serbia. It happened just over three weeks ago. The opposition wants answers about who is responsible for the tragedy.
Parliament was supposed to talk about the country‘s budget for next year. Instead, it descended into chaos. Lawmakers and some ministers were involved in the fighting.
Protests have been happening across Serbia since the accident. People are demanding justice and calling for those responsible to be arrested. The protests have become increasingly angry, with some protesters using red paint on their hands to symbolize blood.
