ZAGREB, October 19, 2020 – The Social Democratic Party called out the government on Monday, saying that even though it knew that the moratorium on enforcement procedures expired today, it did nothing to facilitate the position of citizens who could not settle their obligations due to the economic crisis.
The strongest opposition party said in a press release that Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and his HDZ party jeopardised the livelihoods of thousands of citizens by rejecting the SDP proposal that the moratorium be extended for at least three more months so that an aid package could be prepared and a new law passed.
The SDP said it was still not too late and proposed to those in power to endorse the bills the SDP had presented last week.
“We are aware of the fact that debts must be paid, but the economic and health crisis we are in calls for a little more sympathy for the citizens than the government is showing,” the press release said.
