After a stormy day and a police attack on the naked people peacefully in front of the Parliament, blockades were announced in all cities

After the day-long blockade of several streets in Podgorica and the re-voting of amendments to the Law on the President, the message from today's protest organized by the "Ima nas" Movement is that the fight will continue in the coming days with a blockade in all Montenegrin cities. Also, a big gathering was announced, which will be held on Saturday, December 17, in Podgorica.
Today, with the votes of 41 deputies, the Assembly re-adopted the amendments to the Law on the President, which caused a revolt of the gathered citizens who blocked the approach to the Parliament building at 10 o'clock this morning.
Part of the citizens threw plastic bottles and stones at the Parliament building and broke through the protective fence, and the police reacted, as they said, "with the mildest means of coercion - hand spray with an irritating effect".
The media reported that tear gas was also thrown during the incident.
The situation calmed down after an hour, when the executive director of the Free Citizens' Forum Luča, Nebojša Mrvaljevićada, called the crowd to disperse. They did not give up but lit torches and sang patriotic songs until about 8 pm when they slowly started to disperse.
The Police Administration stated in an official statement that the injured citizens were injured by stones and other materials that the demonstrators threw at the police and the Parliament building. However, video footage shows that the police's allegations are false this time as well. The police in Podgorica, as well as in the brutal and criminal actions in Cetinje and Nikšić, used excessive force and attacked the bare-handed people, once again siding with those who work for the interests of Serbia and Russia.
