ZAGREB, October 4, 2020 – New Social Democratic Party (SDP) leader Pedja Grbin said on Saturday night that he wanted to be warned about mistakes as he had warned Davor Bernardic.
Grbin dismissed the idea that he had wanted to overthrow Davor Bernardic, saying that he was merely reacting to what he considered bad and added that he expected his colleagues to do the same.
Grbin said that there would be no suspensions or dissolutions of party organisations and that they would work on strengthening the existing organisations and establishing new ones across Croatia.
He announced that the provision on the party members’ right to vote would be amended to give everyone the right to vote.
As for local elections, Grbin said that the SDP would have a candidate for the Zagreb mayoral election.
“That candidate will not only be SDP’s candidate, but a candidate of all progressive, civic and left-wing parties that truly want changes in Zagreb,” he said.
Asked whether that will be Tomislav Tomasevic of the We Can! platform, he said that before such a decision was made, there would be talks with other political options and the city branch.
“We will do our best for the citizens of Zagreb, and that is to free them from this octopus of corruption that has spread its tentacles around the city,” he said.
