Croatia n lawmakers on Friday voted into office a new government that marks a tilt to the right in another Europe an Union nation ahead of the 27-nation bloc’s parliamentary election next month. Ivan Penava, leader of the far right DP party which is part of the new ruling coalition speaks before the Parliament during a session in Zagreb, Croatia , Friday, May 17, 2024.
The HDZ won the most votes in the April 17 election but not enough to rule alone. A relatively slim majority for the new coalition government could usher in a period of political instability after HDZ’s years-long domination. Plenkovic pledged that “we will take care of the rights of national minorities, respect them, protect achieved rights and make sure that everyone in Croatia, each and everyone of our citizens, feel good.”
The party has demanded that the Croatian state abolish financing of a critical liberal news outlet Novosti, which is issued by the Serb minority and funded from the budget.
