ZAGREB, June 4, 2019 – Croatian Democratic Party (HDZ) deputy leader Milijan Brkić said on Tuesday that he did not want to comment on “ridiculous allegations” by the HDZ’s chief analyst, Robert Kopal, that the party’s slate for the recent European elections was sabotaged.
“I don’t want to comment on those ridiculous accusations. The world has seen many a fake prophet and will see many more. Everything I have to say about politics and the party I say within the party, not through the media,” Brkić told reporters outside Government House.
Speaking for the N1 private broadcaster, Kopal claimed that he has proof that the HDZ had been sabotaged at the EU election from within the party, which was why the party achieved a much poorer result than had been expected, winning only four seats in the European Parliament.
“A boycott, in the sense of an independent decision by a voter, is absolutely legitimate. But a situation in which someone organises, advises and motivates is sabotage. I certainly won’t go public with any names or conclusions before the party makes its conclusions and takes a stance,” Kopal said.
“I’m not pointing the finger at Milijan Brkić or anyone else,” Kopal said.
