ZAGREB, December 2, 2019 – Presidential candidate Miroslav Škoro said in Zaprešić on Sunday he was for banning work on Sundays, that the ruling HDZ party was betrayed by those running it, and that he would return Croatia to the people and political parties to their members.
Škoro said irresponsible conduct had led to the ongoing teachers’ strike and that the strike was the result of inaction. On the other hand, when this strike ends, customs officials have announced another and police officers are waiting in line, he added.
We are governed by people who see it differently than those in the private sector. That’s difficult to understand for a man whose first job is as a member of parliament or a minister because he has learned to manage the money of others, yet has never created anything himself, Škoro said.
He dismissed accusations that he had betrayed the HDZ, saying he left the party because he did not agree with such an HDZ. “The people running the HDZ have betrayed the HDZ and the HDZ members. And just as I will return Croatia to the people, so will I see to it that I return parties to their members.”
Škoro went on to say that his initiative to increase the president’s powers envisaged calling a referendum to ban work on Sunday.
He added that he would hand over the signatures collected to back his presidency bid to the State Election Commission on Tuesday.
