ZAGREB, May 17, 2020 – The Voice of Entrepreneurs association said on Sunday that the HDZ, IDS, Reformists and the Milan Bandic 365 (MB365) party did not respond to their request for the implementation of radical reforms, noting that some parties were evidently not interested in true reforms.
The association said that its request to parties to formally oblige themselves to implement radical tax policy reforms, abolish parafiscal levies, ensure public finance transparency, reduce the expenditure side of the budget, reform the judiciary and redefine the role of the State Inspectorate, had been responded to by 12 parties but not the largest one, the HDZ, or the BM365, IDS and the Reformists.
The SDP has responded to the request on behalf of its RESTART coalition, with an 11-page document in which it presents its own proposals, and as for the demands by the Voice of Entrepreneurs association, it supported its demand for tax reform and for redefining the role of the State Inspectorate.
The party supported the other proposals in part, in line with its platform, the association said, adding that the HNS responded positively to all demands, except for the one regarding the cancellation of parafiscal levies.
Positive replies to all demands were sent by Miroslav Skoro’s Homeland Movement, Bridge, Fokus, HSLS, Human Shield, Pametno, the Ivan Pernar Party and the Party with a First and Last Name.
The Voice of Entrepreneurs concludes that some political parties evidently have nothing against the existing state of affairs, wondering if it can trust at all politicians or those wishing to enter the world of politics even when they pledge to do something.
