Milanović: Croatia Produces Nothing, We Are Occupied

TL;DR

  • High inflation in Croatia (5.8% in April) is diminishing wages, significantly impacting the majority of citizens who rely on them for basic needs.
  • Croatia has become dependent on food imports, unlike the EU as a whole, which produces enough food for its needs.
  • Milanović questions Croatia's involvement in foreign military issues, such as the Strait of Hormuz, and the deployment of foreign warships.
  • He asserts that the entry of foreign military forces, even allied ones, requires ratification by the Croatian Parliament with the President's prior consent and a proposal from the Government, as per the Constitution.
