Populist incumbent sails to victory in Croatia presidential election


“This is the start of the tip for Andrej Plenković,” stated SDP chief Sinisa Hajdaš Dončić, talking from Milanović’s election headquarters Sunday evening.

Plenković’s center-right HDZ party was weakened by a November corruption case implicating a former well being minister, Vili Beros. The dispute introduced Plenković’s authorities into battle with the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, which accused Zagreb of stopping it from investigating systemic graft within the nation.

“Primorac was a dangerous candidate,” stated Dragan Bagić, a sociology professor on the University of Zagreb, commenting for the Večernji record Croatian each day. “This is a defeat of the parable that HZD has a very massive loyal base.”

Croatia, which has been dominated by Plenković’s HZD since 1991, had the third-highest inflation fee within the eurozone in November and is battling a labor scarcity.
