#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SERBIA #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) Serbia, ASI SK, Direct Action: INFLATION IN SERBIA WILL EAT THE WORKING CLASS (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 After the pandemic of the crown virus and the crisis caused by it, the working

class around the world, even in Serbia, has been facing the consequences of the
war in Ukraine for some time. In Serbia, these consequences are very vividly seen
in the example of daily price growth. Inflation was felt even during the
pandemic, but the war in Ukraine drastically intensified and accelerated it to
such an extent that the life of the average worker in Serbia became unbearable.
---- Even before this crisis, it was difficult to procure basic foodstuffs from
the average worker's salary and at the same time pay all duties in the form of
bills for electricity, water, rent, etc. Due to the inflation that has befallen
us, meeting basic needs, such as food, drink and shelter, has become almost
impossible. Despite all that, workers' wages are not growing or decreasing, our
jobs are mostly insecure, while the prices of products all around us are getting
higher. It is estimated that this war could cause the biggest increase in food
prices in the last 50 years, and a jump in energy prices by more than 50 percent.
We have been told that the price of electricity will increase in the near future,
while the rents for apartments have already gone to heaven, as well as the price
of paper. There is a story about raising tuition fees at state faculties, and
reducing budget places for male and female students. In other words, as is always
the case, the burden of the crisis, for which politicians and big capitalists
around the world are most responsible, has been shifted to the backs of workers.
By harnessing us even more to its capitalist machinery, the system is trying to
survive this crisis period, exploiting us until we rebel against it. We should
not have an understanding for the representatives of the system and their current
"troubles". We should not take their word for it when they tell us that
everything they do is in the name of the "common good". Let us not forget that
when crises like this happen, we, the working class, suffer while they get rich.
Inflation in Serbia will not stop until workers across Serbia set an ultimatum to
politicians and bosses: either a radical improvement in working conditions and an
end to inflation, or workers entering a general strike!

This crisis situation is exposing us more and more drastically the fact that
there is only one choice for us workers: EITHER WE OR THEM! That is the only
thing we can really choose from in this system. Let's choose OURSELVES!
