Jasmina insists that the two of us should join this river of people streaming into the parliament. She is fearless because she knows that I will not agree. Had I been the first to propose such action, she would be the one opposing it. This crowd is a huge organism, with its own unalterable division of duties. There are those who are charging forward, taking the Parliament by storm, and those who only by their presence in the square demonstrate their civil solidarity and civil disobedience.
Tear gas penetrates more and more strongly into the air.
We have all, in these ten years, become experts on various battle poisons. But Jasmina and I are not well equipped. No panic, no stampede. This organism has excellent instincts and reflexes. We retreat slowly toward the edge of this sea of people.
