I’m no expert but that seems pretty one sided
Can’t wait for comments from people who know nothing about Croatian politics to start saying how pro-russian anti-nato populist won
This is the biggest percantage I’ve ever seen in a legitimate election.
Such a beautiful day!
I miss when my country had this kind of classic duel between a soc-dem and a center right candidate
Milanović is the only real opposition in Croatia, and people supported him to vote against corupted govrenment of Hdz and worst prime minister in history Andrej Plenković.
Don’t know much about their politics, but given the current context sounds good for Croatia
Ok, here is the short analysis from Croatia.
There were 8 candidates in the first round and top two advanced to the second round. One is our current president Milanović (backed by SDP, member of S&D) and challenger Primorac (backed by HDZ, member of EPP).
The vote went overwhelming in favor for Milanovic – first polling is 78 to 22 percent, so he will be the new old president.
Our president does not have much power here, prime minister is the head of government. President is commander-in-chief, controls the secret service and co-creates foreign policy.
However, talking points of the campaign were not related to presidential powers and responsibilities. There was a lot of talk about economy, inflation, etc. – nothing president can really control.
From my PoW, there are three main reasons for this result:
1. Primorac was wildy unpopular, artifical, and uncharismatic. He was a minister in the most corrupt government Croatia ever had and did some shady business to acquire some real estate. On the other side, Milanovic is quite intelligent, eloquent, and had some slam dunks with his public statements.
2. HDZ controls the government for 12 years now, and people don’t want to give them all levers of power.
3. Milanovic moved closer to the right in his first term and managed to steal part of the votes from HDZ.
What might be interesting to EU public: Milanovic was painted as pro-russian by the media and accused of receiving russian money (no proof of this so far). This is a very farfetched statement: he opposes sending Croatian troops to Ukraine in any way and iterates that we are not going to be proxy for big powers to run their wars. However, he has been quite critical of Putin and in the last public debate, he explicitly said that if Putin arrives to Croatia, he would follow the international arrest warrant and get him arrested.
Long story short, from what we saw so far, there are no dramatic changes in Croatia.
This is how every elections would look like if cleptocratic party who is btw convinced for corruption don’t rigg every parliamentary elections
So where is the right-wing populist?
Finally, some good f*cking election results
no last minute fascist putin puppet candidate? Croatia, didn’t you get the memo? Or is it one of those two?
Why does the hdz candidate look so much like Assad I can’t unsee it.
