Tomasevic Says Didn’t Want to Take Part in Something Resembling “Political Trade-off”

ZAGREB, July 14, 2020 – The We Can political platform leader Tomislav Tomasevic said on Tuesday that they had rejected Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic’s invitation for a party-to-party meeting between the ruling HDZ and opposition parties, as for him all that bore a resemblance to political bartering.

Tomasevic said he could see no reason for “what the premier could say to me only what other colleagues from the Opposition should not hear.”

He went on to say that he “cannot understand what he can respond to the premier’s ideas about how to solve the social and economic crisis awaiting us that could not be heard by others from the Opposition.”

 Tomasevic criticised the premier for being inflexible and insisting only on party-to-party meetings between him and Opposition leaders.

 Tomasevic went on to say that he saw no reason why the entire Opposition should not be present at such talks Plenkovic.

As for the government spokesman’s comment that Opposition representatives who turned down the invitation did not realise the gravity of the situation, Tomasevic said that they could see how the situation was serious, however, they do not want to participate in anything resembling an over-the-counter trade-off.

 “I find this to be a bad practice,” Tomasevic said.
