"You are hungry for meat, medicine, and money"

A recent survey showing strong support for President Aleksandar Vučić among elderly citizens has sparked outrage and harsh criticism on social media. Critics argue that this demographic, often portrayed as vulnerable, is being unfairly targeted by opponents of Vučić, who accuse him of buying their votes. The survey indicates that over 800,000 elderly voters support Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party, which critics frame as evidence of manipulation rather than genuine support. Political analyst Dušan Milenković notes that Vučić actively campaigns for the elderly, promising benefits if he remains in power, and highlights that pensioners are his largest voter base. Analyst Stevica Deđanski criticizes the division between older and younger generations, arguing that those who oppose Vučić are the true embarrassment to Serbia. Journalist Zvezdana Jevtić condemns the disrespect shown toward elderly citizens simply for supporting Vučić.
