00:01:08Let's
00:01:16now go to the studio to analyze everything that is happening in
00:01:19Croatia or in the Croatian political sphere, Tomislav
00:01:23Klauški has joined me here for an
00:01:26each voter or voting body in analysis, Tomislav, good morning, good morning and welcome, thank you, uh
00:01:29Krodemoskop. So these are some new data for us, HDZ
00:01:3225, SDP also low,
00:01:36somewhat less than 20, they are growing, we can also Most, that reminded me, the other day Nikola
00:01:40Grmoja was here with me in Novi dan, and he said, the real fight will be fought
00:01:43between Most and Možemo, those are two parties that will
00:01:47grow, judging by Krodemoskop, for now it's not far from
00:01:51the truth, well, several things can be seen from this poll, first
00:01:54it is important for HDZ to enter the next elections as a relative winner, that is,
00:01:58to come out of the elections as a relative winner, thereby gaining the right
00:02:02to be the first to gather a majority, and when HDZ is the first to gather a majority, that means
00:02:05then many are
00:02:09ready to join that alliance, so from some liberal left
00:02:13to the far right, second, it is important for SDP and Možemo
00:02:16in the total sum, which
00:02:20is not representative, it is a national sample, it is necessary to work by electoral units in
00:02:23all these variables, all these variables still need to be important for them to
00:02:27have more than HDZ together, and as for Most and Možemo,
00:02:31they should be seen as two satellites, that is, larger
00:02:34partners, so Most, however much it has anti-HDZ rhetoric, has recently switched to
00:02:37anti-Plenković rhetoric, which
00:02:41means that he positioned himself somehow to be HDZ's first partner
00:02:44in forming the government, so we can expect, even if they persistently
00:02:48deny it, every time I say it like this openly, no one will
00:02:52do well in the elections if they enter as a future partner
00:02:55of HDZ, meaning everyone goes to the elections on an anti-HDZ platform because that is
00:02:58the platform on which votes are gained, and then
00:03:02they are counted or, but you know, I just asked Nikola
00:03:05Grmoja, then I reminded him of the Homeland Movement, of those posters,
00:03:09Vukovar, criminal charges, today I remembered 2023,
00:03:13the one who initiates the impeachment of Andrej Plenković, do you know who
00:03:16the Homeland Movement is, it wasn't that long ago, then he
00:03:20said to that yes, but it cannot be
00:03:23compared to Most, those are all former HDZ members, they all
00:03:26came from HDZ, we are not them, therefore.
00:03:30Most, Most has always, Most, therefore, in 2015, appeared
00:03:33on the political scene as a kind of
00:03:36collective conscience or a torchbearer
00:03:39of political morality or a corrector of others'
00:03:43shortcomings, they entered as we will fix HDZ, we will
00:03:46be a kind of fuse, that is,
00:03:51evoke all those a corrector for HDZ, and today they probably think the same way, meaning they
00:03:53will fix HDZ, that is, they will first
00:03:56make sure that Karamarko is not too
00:04:01selfish, that HDZ is not too much under Karamarko's
00:04:04control, after that they tried with Plenković, but Plenković, with his secretary, quickly
00:04:08solved that, as we all know, because HDZ does not
00:04:11like to be corrected by anyone, but the math and
00:04:15the whole pre-election calculation leads to
00:04:18the fact that Most is, therefore, a competitor to DP as HDZ's first
00:04:22partner, just as Možemo, therefore, well, they are already
00:04:25practically solidified partners of SDP,
00:04:29so all these polls should be viewed in that calculation, it is certainly important for HDZ
00:04:33that as an individual party it be a relative winner because as
00:04:37such, for now, it is and will get surplus mandates, but
00:04:40it has the lowest rating in this season, but
00:04:44on the other hand, well, HDZ always hovers around its
00:04:4825%, in its darkest times it had
00:04:52a kind of senator, they never
00:04:55fell below 30%, meaning they, in the elections,
00:04:58always get the most... therefore the maximum,
00:05:01that is, that we can call it a sect,
00:05:04a cult, therefore party loyalty, everyone is tied to
00:05:08HDZ, interested, emotionally and some capital
00:05:11they count on. So, they don't start from scratch in elections, they start from
00:05:1525, well, others don't really start from scratch, but their springboard,
00:05:18whatever HDZ did, well, Tomislav, do you think
00:05:22these 25% can cause
00:05:25some nervousness in HDZ itself, because it is true
00:05:28that this is not a very high rating for their standard, well, that is
00:05:32the question of how much it is, so
00:05:36things have changed in the last 10 years, Plenković for a while
00:05:39held that stumbling HDZ, he was the one who pulled HDZ.
00:05:42with his charisma, new approach, persuasiveness,
00:05:46he pulled HDZ which was burdened by Karamarko and
00:05:50by the Josan verdict, this legacy and so on, but now the situation
00:05:53has changed a bit, HDZ, however much it is also
00:05:57marked by everything that is happening, uh, it feels
00:06:00that Plenković is the one who goes from savior to
00:06:03burden, he is the one towards whom dissatisfaction and
00:06:07frustrations are channeled, so both with Gospić and other and other topics that their leader
00:06:10becomes a kind of. a burden, for example, Most says we
00:06:14will not go with HDZ if Plenković said before that the Homeland Movement, so
00:06:18Plenković has used up all his ammunition towards other coalition partners,
00:06:22he has betrayed, disappointed, and he has become the face of everything that
00:06:26is going wrong in the country, and HDZ, as a party that has always
00:06:29first looked after its own survival and preservation, has always thrown overboard
00:06:33those who were a burden to it, so the question
00:06:36is whether that desire for self-preservation of HDZ will tomorrow
00:06:39condemn Plenković, just as they erased all previous presidents.
00:06:42presidents, uh, there's another interesting thing, that's the number
00:06:46of citizens of the Republic of Croatia who participated in this survey, of course,
00:06:49who do not believe that Croatia is going in the right direction, so that deviates
00:06:53from that land of honey, milk, GDP and success
00:06:57that is being tried to be portrayed,
00:07:00almost that percentage is even smaller than the percentage of people who vote for
00:07:04HDZ, i.e., who still support HDZ, meaning HDZ 25% approximately, and
00:07:0817% of respondents say that they support the direction in which
00:07:12HDZ's government and HDZ are leading the country, which means that a good part
00:07:15of HDZ members are perhaps angry at Andrej
00:07:18Plenković and the government, because we learned earlier
00:07:22from the time of Ivo Sanader that when a more liberal
00:07:26HDZ president comes, he takes the government cabinet
00:07:29as his own and leaves HDZ to HDZ members, and then you
00:07:32have that dichotomy of governing where
00:07:36the prime minister governs from Banski Dvori, HDZ is on
00:07:39the ground voting or governing. yes
00:07:42through local sheriffs doing what HDZ does, right?
00:07:46So now we have uh, this situation here, however, among
00:07:50these, that's how much 83%
00:07:54who do not support the direction in
00:07:56which this country is going, that doesn't necessarily mean that all of them are liberal
00:08:00left-wing dissatisfied HDZ members, so the government's behavior of HDZ,
00:08:04those can be the right wing, they think that Plenković is
00:08:07too much, so it depends on
00:08:10the European Union, on Brussels, that... has too many human rights, that
00:08:13we are learning wrong history, that the Ustashe should come to power, so that 83
00:08:17is not now the voting base of SDP and Možemo, so here
00:08:21are the Homeland Movement, Ustashe, so Ustashe, blackshirts,
00:08:25everything is here, right, so probably among those 83%
00:08:29they would want that, so Plenković comes, but some other prime minister comes who
00:08:32would be more to their taste, hmm, Zoran
00:08:36Milanović in this whole story, which Zoran
00:08:39Milanović, do we remember this. "we know
00:08:42him and we fondly remember him m
00:08:46well, I'm going to slowly introduce you to this story about soy and everything and
00:08:50about waste, Zoran Milanović who
00:08:53convened that session once
00:08:56of the parliament regarding illegal waste and after
00:08:59that he disappeared into the wilderness
00:09:03of Berbinograd, uh, diplomatic verve, those
00:09:06were the wildernesses at the time, joking aside, this is a
00:09:09collegial comment, so let it be a bit like this," but
00:09:13really, Zoran Milanović, where is he, well, Zoran Milanović, we
00:09:16knew that would happen when he
00:09:19therefore from a turbulent first term in which he fought for a second term, entered a second term
00:09:23in which he behaves like Stjepan Mesić in his second term where he
00:09:26let, therefore, Mesić let the country
00:09:29to Ivo, Ivo Sanader, Zoran Milanović is now letting
00:09:33the country to Andrej, not so much to Andrej Plenković, but he may have
00:09:37even done what he should have done in his first term, let the
00:09:40real political opposition, and Andrej Plenković, SDP, Možemo, so
00:09:44that they are the ones who will wage war against Andrej Plenković, now the question
00:09:48is why all those people voted for him, for what they got or perhaps for something else
00:09:52and I think they voted for the HDZ government to have
00:09:56a counterpoint, that is, a counterbalance, self-will
00:09:59still rules, that belief that Zoran
00:10:02Milanović will curb HDZ, however, Zoran Milanović did not curb HDZ
00:10:06and Zoran Milanović did not save Croatia from HDZ, because wherever
00:10:09you look there are some fingerprints of HDZ
00:10:13and its affairs, bad governance, institutional
00:10:16stagnation and so on, right? mm, so Zoran Milanović
00:10:20behaves the way he behaves because he no longer has anything to fight for, he no longer wants to
00:10:24go to... prime ministerial elections nor does he fight for that
00:10:27presidential mandate and he actually behaves as
00:10:30Stjepan Mesić behaved in his second term, who completely withdrew into
00:10:34himself and no longer had any connection with
00:10:38Ivo Sanader, except that they together caught Ante Gotovina, uh
00:10:41so Zoran Milanović also gave small reminders, which is, for example,
00:10:45interesting that Zoran
00:10:48Milanović was a hindrance to that
00:10:51SDP for a while, so it wasn't like that.
00:10:55He was some kind of hindrance because all the eyes of SDP voters,
00:10:59the left opposition, were turned towards Pantovčak, not towards
00:11:02iblorov square, that is, towards Možemo, and that was a wrong
00:11:06view, because instead of everyone voting for SDP, Možemo,
00:11:09in this desire to replace SDP,
00:11:13everyone voted, oh my God, HDZ, everyone voted for Zoran Milanović
00:11:16to be the guard over HDZ, right? So
00:11:19they went indirectly towards controlling HDZ, that is,
00:11:23removing it, so Zoran. Onović, on the one hand,
00:11:27it is good that he does not interfere, on the other hand, it is bad that he does not interfere,
00:11:30because who will interfere if not him and when if not
00:11:34now, that Gospić, that breakdown of institutions, that
00:11:38horror that is happening, bursts out of every
00:11:41pore, so strikes and those institutions,
00:11:45secret services what they were doing, these are topics about
00:11:48which Zoran Milanović, can speak, these are actually part of these topics are
00:11:52exactly his topics, and Zoran Milanović only speaks about how... the European Union is undemocratic and
00:11:56how the European Union is bad, so he repeats a mantra
00:12:00that obviously has some deeper, deeper roots than what we now
00:12:04perceive.
00:12:06Well, secret services and what happened there, what
00:12:10happened, at one point Ranko Ostojić comes out from that famous
00:12:13committee and says, it is necessary to be really precise here,
00:12:17that SOA informed the competent authorities
00:12:21in 2022 that it had its own knowledge, then the
00:12:25competent authorities were interpreted in the public space and through politics, it must be said,
00:12:28and through the media, the Inspectorate
00:12:32Dorch, and the MUP, they all in turn
00:12:35denied it, Ranko Ostojić repeated yesterday that he did not
00:12:39say that those were those bodies, that Grmoja is lying, that he only said competent authorities,
00:12:43what are competent authorities, let's now go back to, I
00:12:46don't know, first grade of high school and see what competent
00:12:50authorities would be,
00:12:52then it was expected that this week that committee session would be
00:12:56called, but it seems it won't,
00:12:59will people from SOA be invited, first it needs
00:13:02to be voted on, says Ranko Ostojić, the ruling majority has
00:13:05the majority, in short, to
00:13:08summarize, such a topic that should still be
00:13:11clear to the public and the media what, who, why,
00:13:15when, if we are already opening questions of state functioning,
00:13:18institutions and political responsibility,
00:13:21do you and I agree that it should be much more transparent?
00:13:25Less shrouded
00:13:28in fog, that fight for transparency
00:13:32always somehow leads to a war over secret services, that is,
00:13:35when secret services enter the discussion, it means that the
00:13:39degree of political corruption, that is, erosion, entropy has reached some
00:13:42peak, because we fought for a long time after Tuđman's
00:13:46time, through the council for civilian oversight and
00:13:50so on and through the division of powers between
00:13:53the president and the prime minister when appointing. that the secret services should still
00:13:56be depoliticized, kept aside, professionalized, so that
00:14:00they are not a topic of political discussions, however we now again have a situation
00:14:04in search of where, where, I mean, how
00:14:07did Gospić happen and what happened, we ask ourselves what happened with
00:14:10SOA and it would be nice to believe that SOA did
00:14:14its job and that it sends reports, so
00:14:17uh, so certainly to the office of the president and
00:14:20the office of the prime minister and the president of the state
00:14:24as... as two addresses that are directly responsible for SOA's work
00:14:28and for supervision and for appointments
00:14:32uh and if such reports reached any address,
00:14:35well, one would say if it reached the office of the president of the republic that it would
00:14:39find its way to the opposition, to the public, we are now
00:14:42further, so we are looking for a way where this
00:14:46happened, no, we are generally looking for a definition of competent services, here
00:14:50we are, maybe it seems trivial to someone, but everything
00:14:53wants to, uh so that smoke is released so that
00:14:56the right path is lost, how
00:14:59the mafia came to Gospić and what is Gospić, so why
00:15:03no one paid attention to Gospić all these years,
00:15:06I, I would like to believe that SOA knew and I would like to believe that SOA
00:15:10reported it to someone, that somehow those reports went to someone,
00:15:13why are, I mean, we can understand why they stopped at some of those addresses
00:15:17at the inspectorate, I don't know, the prime minister and so
00:15:20on, maybe it's at that, but it certainly passes through
00:15:24the parliamentary committee and through some institutional bodies, it
00:15:28must have come out, that is, someone must have known about it, well, you want to say that great
00:15:31effort is being made not to shed light on it,
00:15:35so how much has the mafia entered the state? That is also a question,
00:15:38so since the 90s, secret services were a hotbed
00:15:42of mafia, part of the secret services were under the control of organized crime, criminal
00:15:46organizations, people from that apparatus were
00:15:49connected to some crime, as well as politics, secret services, mafia, it was
00:15:53all mixed up, is it now
00:15:57mafia, if we are talking about mafia, has access
00:16:00to that, that is, and those institutions, not only the inspectorate
00:16:04but maybe somewhere deeper in, that is, and that...
00:16:07services and politics and party, yes, rumors and anonymous comments from
00:16:11SDP itself appeared that Ranko Ostojić is not leading those
00:16:14sessions in the best possible way, then
00:16:18Siniša Hajdaš Dončić said on Friday no, no, he is doing it just like I would,
00:16:22that is, his role as a former minister
00:16:26as an opposition politician in the whole story was also problematized,
00:16:29so if Zoran Milanović also bears part of the responsibility
00:16:32for SOA, that is, for the appointment of the director of SOA, because his
00:16:36non-appointment or non-appointment is also sought,
00:16:39then is Ranko Ostojić then
00:16:42perhaps Zoran Milanović's spokesman, or Zoran Milanović's quiet spokesman, if
00:16:46he doesn't want to say anything, that some discussion is also stopped there, I
00:16:50really don't know that now, we can discuss it from a political point of view,
00:16:54but the fact is that part of the left opposition is also
00:16:58not satisfied with how Ranko
00:17:01Ostojić is doing it, so what will happen next is unknown.
00:17:04that Andrej Plenković. at one point,
00:17:08returning to the story from Gospić, and after
00:17:12the ruling party slightly changed its rhetoric, so Branko Bačić was there
00:17:15during the protests, Minister Vučković, the new chief state inspector who
00:17:19slowly began to admit that
00:17:21not everything went as it should have in the institutions, he says for
00:17:25Gospić again after that Med9, perhaps, I don't know, carried away by the
00:17:29atmosphere or what, that it is a locally generated
00:17:32story that, well, the government is again to blame for everything, that now they have to
00:17:36solve it. "So after a month of different communication
00:17:39again it returns to the local level, perhaps
00:17:43citizens do not honor it, because indeed regardless of the local
00:17:47level, those trucks were entering for months and months, they were not
00:17:50entering through a small door into Gospić, uh
00:17:54yes, the fact that Andre Plenković, uh, so
00:17:57for a while had the illusion, or wants to give the impression that
00:18:01he will be the savior of what is happening there, so first he went from saying that nothing was
00:18:05dangerous, then we will save it. all that, you are dramatizing, making
00:18:08a problem, hysterizing and so on, that's right, so something that
00:18:12the institutions discovered and so the findings were
00:18:15published, then the opposition some forces invented it,
00:18:19well, if that's the case, we'll fix it, now again we're going towards
00:18:22that it's not that bad as
00:18:26it was said, as if they want to
00:18:30reduce the responsibility of HDZ, that is, the HDZ will perhaps be a smaller
00:18:33savior if the threat in Gospić is smaller or not, in general...
00:18:37Plenković obviously leads his own war against, therefore,
00:18:41what is said about Gospić in there, it's not a local story, if we're going to forgive it, but
00:18:45practically, that story is in Benkovac, that story is in
00:18:48Senj, that story is in Varaždin, that story is a
00:18:51big capillary spread story, even if we go that
00:18:55way, that's right, then all those capillaries go to one center and that center
00:18:59stubbornly ignores the fact that it is, therefore, widespread, he
00:19:02wants to keep it at the local level, he wants to set up some
00:19:06kind of sanitary... "it might cut off any connections that would go
00:19:10to the government, to the office,
00:19:13of the prime minister, perhaps if it came to some of those
00:19:17institutions, he might throw them under the bus, but for him, it is certainly important
00:19:20that he distance himself from all of that, so if
00:19:24it's a local, it must be a local story so that he has nothing
00:19:27to do with it, then some prefects will be asked
00:19:30and actually the government, neither guilty nor innocent, is now in a position to again
00:19:33clean up someone else's mess, so it's like falling out of the fire, so
00:19:37some other rascals, his own, others' and so on, then the whole story is woven
00:19:41into this, there's a little SDP, there's a little
00:19:44HDZ, there are some independents and so on, but Plenković
00:19:48generally wants to give the impression that he has nothing to do with it,
00:19:51so he washes his hands, so he literally washes his hands of garbage, anywhere
00:19:55in Croatia, tomorrow is the fourth
00:19:59impeachment attempt, so if we passed the "third time's the charm" then I don't know if it makes
00:20:02sense to talk about the fourth charm, uh, so
00:20:05that's what the opposition does. "We as journalists or the public
00:20:09can now have cynical comments or, well, especially HDZ can
00:20:13have cynical comments about that, the opposition will again embarrass
00:20:16itself and no one can remove this
00:20:19prime minister anymore because we have, we control the majority and so on, which is
00:20:23true, but the fact is that that majority is actually perfectly
00:20:26stable, that's true, but as long as, well, that
00:20:30steadfastness needs to be tested, so that each time it is seen how steadfast it is, so
00:20:34the job of the opposition is to put pressure on that position, so
00:20:38whether it will break or not break, maybe it will, maybe it won't, maybe tomorrow
00:20:41they will say why didn't you remove the prime minister when you had
00:20:45the chance, right? Uhm, so
00:20:48uh, so especially... that political pressure is important, because it is again discussed
00:20:52in public, so the position, so the opposition
00:20:56again gets an opportunity and timing and time in the media and in Parliament
00:20:59to present its arguments against Andrej Plenković, to formalize that
00:21:03story of pressure on that prime minister, whether it will pass or not pass, that
00:21:07is now less important, it is important for the opposition that it is again a topic and
00:21:10that Plenković is not happy about it, that when
00:21:14we are talking about the opposition, he says that uh the opposition wants
00:21:18to politically profit. from crime,
00:21:21uh yes, from corruption, from crime, from garbage, and
00:21:25yes, but like, that's not our crime, that's the crime of some individuals, yes
00:21:29it wasn't said, but it's clear what they want to say, that
00:21:33uh yes, that's the narrative, tomorrow we have something
00:21:37else, we will, of course, broadcast it live here, that's that famous speech,
00:21:41we took that a bit from the United States of America, with which we will close this
00:21:44story, the so-called state of the nation,
00:21:48uh, what do you expect, Tomislav?
00:21:50"Well, I expect two, two versions of the state of the nation, one, therefore, wonderful
00:21:54and beautiful, and the other monstrous, terrible,
00:21:58that, therefore, however much the prime minister will probably
00:22:02sanctify and sprinkle flowers on that state
00:22:05of the nation of his, the opposition
00:22:07will uh throw mud at him, the public would then probably take both
00:22:11truths as one and choose what suits
00:22:16that whole story, outside, I mean, of course, the prime minister..."
00:22:20and the SDP prime minister did that, no prime minister or ruling party
00:22:24will come in the state of the nation and say, "Here, we are now to blame for Gospić, we are now to blame,"
00:22:27they won't, right? So they will always present their most optimistic
00:22:31and most challenging, challenging
00:22:34segment now, so in economics, you always have aspects of economics
00:22:37that Andrej Plenković will surely mention, low unemployment, low unemployment
00:22:41can mean that people no longer look for jobs at the employment office, that jobs are sought
00:22:45outside the borders, that no one else applies to the employment office, there are no more
00:22:48official data. Yes, uh there
00:22:52are jobs, but those jobs are poorly paid, that people
00:22:56therefore take jobs because they have to and even if they don't
00:22:59want to, and so on, so there are various things, but Plenković will certainly
00:23:02say we have record low unemployment, which may
00:23:06sound good to people but they themselves know from their own
00:23:09pocket how they are doing, so people themselves know if they can make ends meet,
00:23:13if there is a chance for young people
00:23:16to buy their first property
00:23:19that... they have to go and work in Germany for 10 years and then pay it off,
00:23:23so everyone has their own version of the story, especially regarding economics,
00:23:27right, inflation and other topics, not everyone is equally affected
00:23:30by the economy, some cope better,
00:23:34some cope worse, but that
00:23:38economy could be a story
00:23:40of how much Andrej Plenković's promises and buying
00:23:44voter favor from two years ago cost us, how much that will
00:23:47cost now. The other day I was watching the budget rebalance, a huge
00:23:51part goes to salaries and maintaining the system itself,
00:23:54that's a huge amount of money, because that's HDZ's voter base, because that's
00:23:58HDZ's social peace, right, just as social peace is bought with the tourist
00:24:01season and, therefore, is bought
00:24:05from this state budget that
00:24:09there is no social unrest and social peace is bought by the fact that we are in
00:24:12the European Union, so people go to look for jobs outside the borders
00:24:15of Croatia instead of on the street in front of the Banski Dvori through a protest, is it
00:24:19only who... "those who protest with us are public
00:24:22unions, because they are the only ones who can organize and have
00:24:25a chance to put political pressure, because politics
00:24:29gives in or doesn't give in, as was the case in
00:24:33Zagreb, but that kind of pressure is stronger than in the private
00:24:36sector, because the public sector, politicians and mayors, prefects
00:24:40are sensitive to that kind of pressure because they live off the same
00:24:44voters and off the voting mass,
00:24:46and workers are protected." "At
00:24:50the moment when they go to protest, well yes,
00:24:53they probably are, yes, I would also say that a question for the end,
00:24:57something I would never want to miss, the Pentagon's
00:25:00announcement that they will broadcast military executions
00:25:02live, uh, we've come to
00:25:05that, yes, the cradle of democracy is literally becoming
00:25:08a firing squad of democracy, so not only this, but of the free
00:25:12world, what's happening, that's so we don't go into
00:25:15any depth of that, so that's a message to all citizens
00:25:19of America, so those killings by immigration services on the streets, that's
00:25:22a message to all citizens and this is a message to all citizens, and if
00:25:26we watched the Handmaid's Tale, I don't know if you've seen that in one
00:25:30season, so not only are people hanged in public places as
00:25:34a message to everyone to shut up, but also, for example, in newsroom
00:25:37walls there are holes from firing squads, so if
00:25:41Trump's firing squad isn't already literally
00:25:44doing that, as it will be publicly broadcast now, in all other ways
00:25:48he tries to kill all elements. of American democracy, right?
00:25:52So symbolically, financially, politically and in all other
00:25:54ways, you know Tomislav, after that announcement, I looked for some
00:25:58reactions from politicians in Europe, values,
00:26:01democracy. "European
00:26:04Union, humanism and so on, but
00:26:07no one reacted to that information,
00:26:10well yes, democracy dies in silent darkness, right? So no matter how much
00:26:14silence there is and how much people turn their heads and ignore some
00:26:17things, it opens
00:26:21Nazism, how would we call these now Putinism,
00:26:24Trumpism, new Nazism, right-wing in Germany and so on, right?
00:26:27Yes, agreement with Putin, since we're talking about that, for now there are no
00:26:31official ones yet." I don't know if there's
00:26:35Trump is Putin's agent, meaning since 2016 it's clear that Russia has placed
00:26:39its man at the head of America, not only to
00:26:42open the way for Russia, so in foreign policy, eliminate America's foreign policy,
00:26:45but also destroy America from within, we see it through stock exchanges,
00:26:49crypto, so the destruction of the social elements
00:26:52of the American state, through the destruction of American democracy,
00:26:55the constitution, the conquest of courts, so through
00:26:59all possible ways of favoring the oligarchy, today's Trump's.
00:27:02America is turning into Putin's Russia, so
00:27:05oligarchy, uh, so, every control
00:27:08of information, this, these social
00:27:12networks, crypto, so,
00:27:15fake wars, that's, that's the same template
00:27:19that is being used, that Putin used in Russia, Trump is now
00:27:23using it in the US, now live shootings, and
00:27:25shootings,
00:27:31of course. that they were related to the work of the government,
00:27:35the work of the Croatian Parliament, the preparation of the party congress,
00:27:39the reporting one which will be on November 28th
00:27:42in Šibenik, we also discussed, of course,
00:27:45international activities, first of all, we expressed satisfaction
00:27:49with the summit of the leaders of the group of nine
00:27:52Mediterranean EU members which was held last week in Split,
00:27:56we thanked our hosts,
00:27:58Mayor Šuti, Prefect Boban and his deputy
00:28:02Čogel, who was with us, the impressions of colleagues were very
00:28:05good, excellent preparation for this week's meeting
00:28:09of the European Council, which has a number of large, important topics, from
00:28:13the continuation of negotiations on the multi-annual financial framework
00:28:16to the security situation
00:28:19in Europe, these new circumstances, the intensification,
00:28:23unfortunately, of the conflict between, or rather
00:28:25Russia's aggression against Ukraine and, of course, the energy
00:28:29situation given everything further in the Near
00:28:32East. We also discussed tomorrow in the
00:28:36Croatian Parliament, it will be interesting, we will be there all day,
00:28:39first thing in the morning the annual report on the work
00:28:43of the government, the third in this mandate, where we will try to
00:28:46summarize everything we have achieved in the past year,
00:28:50and of course report to the members of parliament
00:28:53and also the Croatian
00:28:56public, and then another initiative
00:29:00of no confidence, today... I asked my
00:29:03associates to see the statistics, in our
00:29:06modest 10 years of mandate there were a total of
00:29:1043 interpellations and questions
00:29:13of no confidence, it even surprised me that there were so
00:29:16many, uh 26 rejected, nine
00:29:19discussions not held because the topic was absolved, one withdrawn,
00:29:22seven in procedure, so it is
00:29:25the instruments that the opposition uses, we are already
00:29:28used to publicly responding
00:29:32to them, all in all as expected,
00:29:34mostly, I would like to
00:29:38thank the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament for last week
00:29:41for the important anniversary
00:29:44related to October 8th, the Day of the Croatian
00:29:48Parliament, it was truly very nice to once again
00:29:53topics and see so many distinguished
00:29:57people in the Croatian Parliament, we are also satisfied
00:30:00with, the rating of Moody's agency, one of
00:30:04the three credit rating agencies, investment credit rating confirmed,
00:30:07stable outlook, confirmation of government
00:30:11policy, that is responsible management of public finances,
00:30:14continuous reduction of the share of public
00:30:17debt in GDP, we expect by the end of the year
00:30:2055.5%,
00:30:24less than it was last year, the budget rebalance has been sent
00:30:28to parliament, the deficit will remain at... 9% which is
00:30:31also within limits economic growth this year
00:30:35we expect to be around 2.3
00:30:382.4%. What is particularly important,
00:30:41excellent results for the tourist season in
00:30:45the first nine months, so over
00:30:4820 million arrivals already, around
00:30:52100 and 10 million nights,
00:30:55105 million nights, all of this together
00:30:58indicates that we will be better this year than.
