Croatia has never had a protest like this before, I hope that things will not get out of control
Bring down the corrupted thieves , this country is infected with incompetent people working in hospitals etc… everything has to go through politics and connections if you’re not a part of the club you are fucked , no wonder all the young people leave
What are they protesting against?
Explain it to me like I’m 5 and American
PLeasantly surprised, i have to say.
Is this against the hot milf minister?

Entire neighborhood is protesting (SK, HU…)
Wish you better luck than what we have!
Nice, I hope they will make some changes. However, in my opinion, substantial changes should have been made about ten years ago. The brain drain has been significant in recent years, and too many citizens are connected to this corrupt system and seem to accept it. There are also too many retirees, veterans, and an inflated number of state workers who support this system by receiving official/unofficial benefits. The main opposition parties are similar, and they place their own people in state jobs (on top of the old ones), further inflating their numbers.
Eppo is the best thing that ever happened to croatia’s justice system
Context:
The new head of DORH (Croatia’s Attorney General Office), Ivan Turudić, has been embroilled in multiple corruption scandals – namely, his ties to Josipa Rimac, a former HDZ member currently embroilled in a scandal of embezzlement from the state enterprise Vjetroelektrana, and his personal friendship with Zdravko Mamić, a former head of F.C Dinamo Zagreb, now living in Bosnia to avoid chsrges of embezzlement from the team and bribing state officials.
Couple it with the fact that the current administration, under Plenković, is trying to tighten restriction of freedom of press (namely, allowing their personal belongings and lviing spaces be searched without a warrant, as well as wiretapping their communications without a warrant), milquetoast attempts of preaching conservative values to distract from this (by announcing mandatory military service for younger men, which backfired and caused MORE backlash amongst the younger, liberal voters), his apsolute refusal to acknowledge the same protests (or trying to paint the protestors as either being unpatriotic ot controlled opposition stunts) and yeah….you can see the point.
The thing is, HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) is just a different flavor of big tent, overreaching corrupt rulling political class parties – you can compare them to Poland’s PiS, Hungary’s Fidesz or Serbia’s SNS, it’s depressingly familiar, and they have been in power for almost a decade.
It doesn’t help that our official national sub is divided about the protests – with so many young people of Croatia already gone and moving to Western Europe, there is an aura of defeatism and general political apathy.
They are socialist’s! The solution 🚁 🚁 🚁 🚁 🚁
Seems pretty small
As all protests in the country, this one will be futile as well.

Give some context to it.
