For an EU SA you'd need translators to translate every post into every European language.

In EU-SA we all understand English, but refuse to post in it.

Hi friends, been away for far too long. Was nice knowing you all, shame Lowtax couldn't stop beating his wife. All we need now is see him having a rant about the gipsies and i'll start to seriously consider that Lowtax might actually be Portuguese.

This place. It was started by a bunch of people from CSPAM in January and a lot of people are making accounts there since it's that or some Discord channels right now. Normally you need to pay 10 dollars after registering but they're waiving it at the moment. It means you need to be manually approved and it takes a bit of time since people are flocking there. Edit: There's also cspam.xyz. It's just one board now since was literally thrown together overnight but who knows how things will turn out. There's the thread about offsites Kassad fucked around with this message at 10:37 on Jun 25, 2020 |

Croatia will have parliamentary elections next Sunday. The same two parties are still battling for dominance, as they have been doing for the last 30 years. I understand that makes it the most ossified political scene of all the ex-communist countries. Still, there are some new developments. Here are the relevant parties, in the order they are currently polling. SDP (social democrats) - Old left. The president of Croatia (also former PM, and former head of the party) Zoran Milanović has a way of being arrogant and abrasive without actually fighting for the cause or achieving anything. The style is now copied by his successor Davor Bernardić. The man has no qualities that I'm aware of, but he's supposedly hard-working. The idea of him running the country in a major crisis makes me uneasy to say the least. HDZ (democratic union) - Old right. The current PM is Andrej Plenković, a moderate and a former diplomat. He visited the recent Novak Dokovic's tennis tournament, met him briefly and patted him. It later turned out that Dokovic is covid positive so a whole bunch of tennis players, staff and other involved people had to self-isolate. Somehow, that doesn't apply to Plenkovic and he's facing public outrage over it. It's even more embarrassing since his elections motto is "There are no untouchables". Demokratski pokret (homeland movement) - New right, except it's mostly old faces. Led by boyish-looking businessman/singer/politician/entertainer Miroslav Škoro. I'm not sure what policy changes they strive for compared to what HDZ is offering. The pro-choice/pro-life discussion recently resurfaced, only for Škoro to conclude that he's for protecting life from inception to birth, but that he's also against making abortion illegal. That's already HDZ's stance. Also, he wouldn't form the government with Milorad Pupovac who leads the Serb minority. OK but not sure it's a huge deal. They are anti-Serb but not unreasonably so. Again, very similar to HDZ. Most (bridge) - The big hit of the last elections, a collection of small-town majors interested in improving their communities and meritocracy. Started disintegrating (both as a group, and ideologically) even before the parliament formed. It looked like they were heading for the political scrapyard, like so many Croatian third-way parties, but they still retain some clout. They have recently been joined by two fairly well-known political commentators, one of them a former acquaintance of mine. It helped reinvigorate the party's perception a bit. Možemo (we can) - New left. A coalition of parties that includes communists (worker's front) but is better known for Tomislav Tomašević's "Zagreb is ours". Not too long ago he was a green party activist who was struggling to get into Zagreb city council. It didn't take him long to turn into one of the opposition leaders in Zagreb city council, and his bloc is now on the door of the parliament. That's great since there are decades of activism and education behind this guy, he's here to stay, and I believe his influence will grow organically. Živi zid (living wall) - An anti-establishment party that grew from an organization that was disrupting evictions of poor people. They started disintegrating after they won a seat in the European Parliament and fought over it. The most idiotic and very popular member of the party, Ivan Pernar, left to make his own party. Stranka s imenom i prezimenom (party with name and last name) - Liberals. The oddly-named party is something like Most 2.0. Competent and unrelated individuals who include a former state attorney and a former director of a hospital. Both were sacked for being too successful.Also a popular anti-taxes, anti-syndicates economist.

Yeah, that made me curious; advisor and small-time mayor doesn't really seem like the right cred, even under the French imperial presidency system. Is he just the blank slate through which Macron and his team can push poo poo, or is there some weird tradeoff with the Republicains or something? IDGI

He's had a good but basically undistinguished career in the civil service including several ministry jobs under Chirac & Sarko. He's absolutely an odd pick for PM, but he was a Fillon supporter so he's probably something of an a olive branch to the conservative right as well as an uncontroversial technocrat.

What bugs me, not that anyone needs more proof, is that they still claim to be centrist or whatever when it's just another affirmation that LREM is just another right-wing party. I'd wish they'd just come clean about that already.

Small town mayor, was part of the Chirac and Sarkozy administrations in minor roles, supported Fillon during the 2017 elections, tasked with organizing the end of the covid lockdown, now Prime Minister.

quote:STAGES OF INDIGNATION: There was some excitement for those who spent the weekend in the Brussels bubble: Commission President Ursula von der Leyen appeared, along with other senior figures from the European People’s Party, in a electoral spot for Croatia’s HDZ on the eve of the country’s election. (The clip is the sort of name-dropping exercise which is supposed to show people how well-connected their leader is.) So apparently the EC President was campaigning on behalf of the EPP candidate in Serbia. Good look that. Not as bad as Juncker literally telling the Greeks that a vote for Syriza means death, but still.
