Some say its a gamble by the incumbent president andree plink overture that the Ruling Party Calls early elections to profit from their relatively successful handling of the coronavirus pandemic but as a number of could it might in cases rises again the center right party is into spotlight playing go vicious main challenge it is style for bennett age the social democrat leader is heading a restart coalition made up of small the center left parties hes trying to win over voters by claiming the removal of a dozen government ministers is proof of that incompetence. The election comes as dependent make pattis croatias fight to Tourism Sector but the biggest financial crisis in decades looming the economy is the. The issue for many voters is. That a vote for no not for me as a young mother it is important to have a stable job so my family can be sustained by the fire and the fact that farm animals that live on they dont care enough about croatians going abroad and the climate and and the low salaries for young people many simply dont have a choice we should have more young people. Involved in politics and. I dont know maybe because the have some youthful ideas fresh ideas.

D. P. Of the country and that we know of that we dont take should know at the moment whether the Current Crisis will continue for much longer i think everyone understands a majority of the people understand that its very difficult to govern in these circumstances nevertheless there is a big question mark over whether to continue with the governing of the or indeed any of these 2 major parties that have actually marked the creation politics for the last 30 years or whether there will there will have to be or in what should be some kind of a challenge to them weve heard that some analysts from the ruling power went to these early elections because they hope to capitalize from they handling of the pandemic but given as a renewed spike in cases do you think this gamble is going to pay off. The 2 major parties including the christian Democratic Union have lost about 20 percent of their voters compared to the last elections in 2016 they try to avoid further loss and losing of the votes that might happen because of the economic crisis in the autumn and the age he said indeed which insists in that in his in its slogan that only the creationists say fondly with them all for some kind of stability and continuity and so certainly they would like to couple up at the lies the circumstances of the crisis and to offer themselves as these safe pair of hands lets talk about these right wing policy the hind leg movement each likely to come fed and also likely to be to make a since none of the 2 parties are expected to gain a majority what could the demands of the Homeland Movement be this is the movement that actually offers a kind of order when there is a showing of croatia so everything that we can see in hungary with or.
