“A Black Hole on the European Continent ” - Kommunikationsforum

valgaftenen 6. maj 2012, hvor Media Center har arrangeret debat, har jeg aftalt et interview,
hvor jeg udspørger Vesna Pešić om hendes engagement i KBS. På mit spørgsmål om, hvad de
ønsker at opnå, svarer Pešić:
” Ahh, there is, I think this is just a message, you know, through some group of people who we
usually call pity-Serbia and which is anti-nationalistic Serbia, that is grouped around Peščanik
and e-novine, actually, as we don’t see any change, now, that there is no open possibility of
citizens and since there is no other possibility and since there is a reduction of democracy, this
is that all the parties they are not, they are not taking any responsibility and they are like a
closed group and they are acting in their own interest not in public interest, which is why we
want to send a message that we don’t want to vote for anyone because all are of the same
kind.”
(IW: Vesna Pešić 6. maj 2012, 1,48 min.)
KBS artikuleres som den eneste mulighed for at influere på det politiske system. Det artikuleres
en reduktion af demokrati, som tilskrives politikerne. Politikerne iagttages ikke som
repræsenterende folkets interesser, de tager ikke noget ansvar samt optræder som en lukket
gruppe, hvilket betyder manglende mulighed for borgerne til at gøre sig gældende. Pešić
artikulerer en grænsedragning mellem momenter som de demokratiske, anti-nationalistiske,
forandringsfremmende kræfter, der ækvivaleres med offentlighedens interesser, og de politiske
partier, der, all are of the same kind, som forhindrer en progressive udvikling af Serbien. KBS
betydningstilskrives som en miskrediterende besked til de politiske partier, der ikke har formået
at leve op til folkets forventninger.
Som opfølgning på denne erklæring spørger jeg ind til Pešić vurdering af kampagnens
tiltrækningskraft, altså hvordan Pešić selv iagttager, hvordan kampagnen kan siges at appellere
til udvalgte vælgere:
“ Because this (KBS red.) was much attacked, you know, it was bit like, we are the devil, you
know, although we have the right to do whatever we want to do, you know, with the ballot, you
can vote or not vote, throw it or not throw it, you know so, but there was a lot of attack, you
know, on that because that was actually, some(one) said why don't you organize and become a
party, and then to be the part of the system, because we said we are not a part of the system you
know, so that is, you know, its a kinda of, like, what is the fact of, ahh, occupy wall street, to
