March 29, 2019 - The new protest under the slogan "Odupri Se- 97,000" will be held on Saturday, 30 March 30 at 6 pm at the Independence Square in Podgorica. Organizers urged citizens to join with as many as possible, "because it is the only way to meet our demands for the release of captive institutions and to root the changes in the system that for decades serves only the survival of octopus in power."
Throughout the whole week, nonviolent actions have been organized both by the "Odupri Se" movement, as well as by other organizations and individuals. "We started encircling institutions, sure their staff soon will be able to do their job professionally and without pressure. Only in this way can we put pressure on the system, allow changes and realize freedom of choice in a civilized way," the protest organizers said.
In Podgorica, a protest bicycle ride on the streets of the city was held, while activists of the movement caught the performance "Odupri Se" this morning, encircled in green vests with the protest slogan of the state institution - the State Prosecutor's Office, the Government, and the Presidency.
After meeting with representatives of parliamentary opposition parties and independent deputies held on Wednesday, 27 March in the premises of the Odupri Se on Zabjelo in Podgorica, protest organizers announced that the text of the Agreement on the Future was agreed. They announced that all 39 opposition deputies would sign this document on Saturday at the Independence Square, in front of the crowded protesters
Organizers evaluate this as an essential step towards unity and solidarity of all elements in society.
The essence of the Agreement was pronounced in the Proclamation of Free Citizens, the basic requirements being the resignation of the President of the State, the Prime Minister, the Supreme State Prosecutor, the Chief Special Prosecutor, the Director of the Anti-Corruption Agency, the Public Service Council and the General Director of RTCG.
From the movement, they did not want to say more about the content of the Agreement on Future, stressing that the citizens will be familiar with the agreement on Saturday at the seventh protest in Podgorica.
Although one of the interviews has announced the marches of solidarity towards the capital, this action will not happen this Saturday. They explained saying that they are working to create conditions for the maintenance of parades.
The Seventh Protest, as well as all the previous ones have to go through a peaceful, dignified and nonviolent manner, point out to the organizers, inviting participants to take care of those who are standing or walking beside them, and with particular regard to the elderly, disabled, pregnant women and parents with children.
After the speeches, the protesting walk will take place in the direction of Freedom to the Gorica Stadium, Bulevar Ivan Crnojević via the Milenij Bridge, Bulevar Jovan Tomašević, via the Blaž Jovanović Bridge and Bulevar of St Peter Cetinski to the Independence Square.
