Enough is Enough (Serbian:Доста је било,romanized: Dosta je bilo, abbr.DJB) is aright-wing populistpolitical party inSerbia.
It was established on 27 January 2014 around the formerminister of economySaša Radulović and his associates from the ministry.[2] Initially, the party had strongliberal,reformist, andprogressive views, and in the2016 parliamentary election they entered the parliament with 16 seats in total.[3] Between early 2017 and 2018, itspro-European andliberal factions split off due to the internal conflict in the party. Since then, the party has shifted to thefar-right and it began advocatingsouverainist andeurosceptic policies alongside numerousright-wing populist stances such asopposition to immigration. Its leader, Saša Radulović also promotedmisinformation and severalconspiracy theories during theCOVID-19 pandemic.[4]
It was founded on 27 January 2014 asAssociation "It's Enough – Restart" (Serbian:Удружење "Доста је било – Рестарт",romanized: Udruženje "Dosta je bilo – Restart"), and since then it was commonly known asEnough is Enough (Serbian:Доста је било,romanized: Dosta je bilo; abbr.DJB).[5] In2014 Serbian parliamentary election, held less than two months after establishment, the organisation won 2.09% of votes. In yet another early2016 Serbian parliamentary election,[6] DJB won 6.02% (227,626 votes), thus gaining 16 seats in theNational Assembly.
The It's Enough–Restart group in the National Assembly lost three of its members in February 2017, whenAleksandra Čabraja,Jovan Jovanović, andSonja Pavlović left to start an organisation called the Civic Platform.[7][8] After long delay in deciding whether to take part in the2017 Serbian presidential election, DJB eventually appointed Saša Radulović as candidate for the election. He came in seventh place with 51,651 votes (1.41%).
On 15 March 2018,Ljupka Mihajlovska resigned from the DJB assembly group to sit as an independent.[9] The following day,Miloš Bošković resigned from DJB and also resigned from the assembly, returning his mandate to the association.
In 2018, DJB main board expelled assembly membersNenad Božić,Vladimir Đurić, andAleksandar Stevanović from membership in the association on 29 March 2018.[10]Tatjana Macura also resigned from the association on 12 April 2018, following a brief, abortive bid for its presidency.[11] Macura subsequently started a new association called the Free MPs parliamentary group, joined by Božić, Đurić, Mihajlovska, and Stevanović.[12] In addition, Bošković's replacementNada Kostić ultimately chose not to sit with DJB.[13] In the aftermath of these changes, DJB had seven deputies in the assembly.[citation needed]
Only several months later,Dušan Pavlović left the DJB. This led to another wave of leaving. Another five deputies leave the DJB parliamentary club. By the mid-November 2018, DJB was reduced to only two deputies in the Assembly (Radulović and Stamenković) and no parliamentary club.[citation needed]
In the2018 Belgrade election, a combined DJB–Dveri list failed to pass the electoral threshold. Saša Radulović subsequently stepped down as president of the party on 6 March 2018, along with all deputy presidents.[14] On 21 April 2018Branislav Mihajlović, head of the DJB inBor, was elected party president.[15] On 8 November 2018 Branislav Mihajlović was dismissed and replaced by deputy party presidentBranka Stamenković as a temporary leader.[16] DJB joined other opposition parties in National Assembly sessions boycott.
On 14 December 2018, group of former DJB MPs formed centristParty of Modern Serbia.[citation needed]
On 19 October 2019, Saša Radulović was re-elected as party leader, while Branka Stamenković was elected deputy president.[17] On 7 March 2020. DJB declared2020 Serbian parliamentary election boycott together withAlliance for Serbia coalition andSocial Democratic Party. They eventually decided to participate in the elections, but failed to pass the 3% threshold (earned 2.32%), thus becoming non-parliamentary organisation.[citation needed]
DJB took part on the 2022 parliamentary elections in coalition with Milan Stamatović (mayor of the Čajetina municipality and the leader of Healthy Serbia movement), and doctor Jovana Stojković, known for her anti-vaccine attitudes.[18][19] They ran under the name Sovereignists, but again failed to clear the 3 per cent threshold. After the April elections, DJB became inactive until February 2023, when it was announced that it would become politically active again.[20]
It was historically acentrist party,[21] and it supportedliberalism,[22][23][24][25]neoliberalism,[26]: 117 andprogressivism.[27] It was also focused onpopulist,[26]: 117 anti-establishment andanti-corruption rhetoric,[28] and it advocatedreformism.[29][30] Since 2018, it has been described as aright-wing populist,[21][25] andconservative party,[22] and itopposes immigration.[31] It is positioned on theright-wing[32] andfar-right on the political spectrum,[25][33] and it is also supportive ofsouverainism andeuroscepticism.[34][35]
