Injuries reported as opposition MPs disrupt session in show of support for anti-corruption protests

Serbian opposition lawmakers have lit flares and discharged teargas during the opening day of the spring session of parliament, in a sign of support for anti-corruption protests.
At the legislative session on Tuesday, after the ruling coalition led by the Serbian Progressive party (SNS) approved the agenda, some opposition politicians ran out of their seats towards the parliamentary speaker, Ana Brnabić, and scuffled with security guards.

Imagine if our democrats had the spine to do this

Badass! This was a very interesting article, as are other articles linked in this one that tell more about the protests. I think these two were my favorites of what I clicked through to read:

I hope so much that they're able to get the positive change they're after. I'm proud of them.
As always, thank you for sharing this with us, Alyaza!

This is how you make them listen.

Cool, hope they will do something and won't stop at performance stage.
