We can! has become a ruling Lovin in Zagreb from the opposition hunter in the Croatian Parliament
We can! These days have found themselves in an interesting, somewhat bizarre, certainly schizophrenic position: they have become political hunters from political hunters.
The opposition party that has been leading the attacks on Plenkovic’s government for years, the HDZ and the ruling coalition in the Croatian Parliament has become as a ruling option in Zagreb for the target of attacks, criticism, blows, pressure and campaigns for local elections.
While hitting the Government, he defends himself from kicks in Zagreb.
And this is a confusing position for any opposition party that is used to always being right, never wrong. Which, however, is not true of the ruling option at any level: it is traditionally wrong, very rarely right.
They change the uniform
And that bipolar position in which the platform has found can be! It is almost unique on the political scene in the last twenty years. As he attacks the Banski Dvor, he defends himself in the government at the same time. The hunter becomes a hunt.
They are changed from the opposition in the ruling uniform.
Therefore, we can!, As an opposition party that is used to the fact that it is always on the right side and always right, it is difficult to endure the fact that in Zagreb it has been hit by opposition there, from the HDZ and ex-banka via liberals and (real?) Social Democrats, to the hard, conservative and clerical right.
Those who are used to digging through the HDZ affair must now defend themselves against their own.
And they often reach for arguments that are traditionally heard from the ruling: acting sacrifice, drawing attention, relativizing affairs, dispensing attackers, discovering conspiracy theories and hiding behind ideology and political correctness.
Kekin and Hippodrome
It was only a matter of time when we could! Finding in such a situation, and the campaign for local elections, with criminal charges, arrest of Mile Kekin, Hippodrome affair, Ivan Turudic, Bandic’s pioneers, only further raised her roles and pushed otherwise aggressive! in defensive.
A party that is used to the Croatian Parliament to attack, criticize, call himself at one time in Zagreb to defend, justify, pull out.
The opposition party, which is always right in the Croatian Parliament, now has to prove in a campaign in Zagreb that it is not wrong.
He has to prove that she did not confess two million euros at the Hippodrome, that Mile Kekin had not mounted with the land, that it was okay that the husband of Ivana Kekin as a rock star took state contributions (because, here they « take them others »), that he was perfectly managed, as well as that Tomislav Tomašević was the victim of the HDZ institutions crime.
Why not admire
Just as Prime Minister Plenkovic loves to brag, glorify and wonder that the citizens do not admire him enough, so we can! In Zagreb, he emphasizes his great results, achievements and accomplishments, almost insulting himself when someone dares to question it.
Another component has been activated in this campaign: many parties and individuals are now charging! to the nose the fact that they boast about their honesty. Some are already exploiting this on their jumbo posters, there is no doubt that many will catch when a campaign is booming and starting to talk about affairs and failures.
And that is obviously a new form of curse in politics. You must not advertise your own honesty because it could quickly get your head.
How to be (not) honest
Perhaps it is simply, in accordance with the Croatian tradition, Oportunia declares your dishonesty, in the hope that after that you will be forgiven and then allowed. Admit sins immediately if others would not have to punch them on their nose. Say that you are the worst immediately, so everything you do is not perceived as horrible.
Thus, Milan Bandic ruled Zagreb, so the HDZ government of Croatia, Zeljko Kerum profited on this, and maybe Josipa Pleslić Ex Rimac will be led on that campaign.
On the other hand, Ivo Josipovic’s position was almost a win in the first presidential election, when one of his affair overshadowed dozens of Bandic. Because this is not expected from the new righteous.
Replaced the roles
Therefore, it is interesting to follow how the HDZ are and we can! in this campaign replaced the roles. The HDZ in Zagreb has been acting as an opposition party, using the methods he has already introduced us to in these thirty years, removing the womb of Zagreb’s authorities and relying on the infallibility of opposition criticism.
And we can! It occupies the position of a party that has consumed its unmistakability, because now it leaves concrete results behind it, even some bloody traces.
It will be quickly seen if the voters can be! In Zagreb, the same immune to opposition criticism, attacks, accusations, and even pranks, such as HDZ immune voters have for decades.
