heading to the polls on sunday for parliamentary elections the governing conservative croatian democratic union is up against the center left social democratic party the poll comes as the country faces a renewed spiking 19 cases voters are looking for a prime minister who can keep infection rates down while reviving the battered economy but none of the main contenders is expected to gain a majority and that makes a coalition government a lot cleaner prospect. some say it's a gamble by the incumbent president andre plink overture that the ruling party calls early elections to profit from their relatively successful handling of the corona virus pandemic but as a number of covert 9000 cases rises again the center right party is in the spotlight playing golf which is main challenge it is style for bennett age the social democrat leader is heading a restart coalition made up of small the center left parties he's trying to win over voters by claiming the removal of a dozen government ministers is proof of that incompetence. but. the election comes as depend damage batters croatia's fight terrorism su

goes to crazy democratic union now that is enough to fall and not enough to form the government but if they make a call this in with the whole men movement which has been in 16 seats that would be 77 seats and that is more than enough to form a government right up to those elections if those 2 quite can agree on the call this in which they already hinted that this is not something that might be impossible now home. the mint is a new political party it is that by folks in their ministers carter who was running for the president they trust at last year he didn't want the presidency but he gathered enough support to try to up for the parliament and obviously that supports did not to go down in just made him stronger and the homeland movement the is winning 16 seats in the parliament let me just say that home of movement is described as the far right party with a strong nationalistic rhetorical and that they are basically. putting their their their place is in the in the far right to of the political specter in croatia that means the creation democratic union which is recognized as the cen

well this is a development that probably duration democratic union even didn't hope for it they hope for the victory but that this kind of the story so the latest actually the 1st official results by the state commission after 22 percent of the ballots have been counted says that creates a democratic union $71.00 seat in the pot of mint it takes only $76.00 seats to form the government by themselves there were fears before that the they will have to go into a coalition with the. movement which is the far left far right party but it seems like if this trend continues that that will be able to form the government by their own and the prime minister under a plane which will continue what he was doing for the past 4 years antonio how was the coronavirus pandemic affected turnout during this election. well it did affect this election but it doesn't cannot be said that it actually. affected very badly this turnout because this turnout was almost the same as the turnout 4 years ago where there was no corona virus so maybe we don't have the total turnout yet but by the 6 o'clock today it was

than reform is some would say this is a problem for croatia but it certainly helps the creation democratic union to continue governing croatia. parties on both the far right and left gained ground in this election what does that tell us about the direction of the country's moving in . there is the direction will not change there are the prime minister under full encourage what is now in a comfortable position to form the new government and can choose actually who he wants to form the government with so they reason movie thought player in creation politics who could for example blackmail or influence the site you simply did that action on the page he said well it will go in the next 4 years one of the fear states because that had was that the homeland movement which is more sort of the far right and actually it kind of orbán the east on the immigration and on can minority party will have lots of power but they don't on the other hand there is well i mean the social democrats are in a in a problem they didn't expect to lose so significantly and their leader has yesterday or the announced that he m

he used to be a european parliamentarians before he became the president of the crazy democratic union he is a politician who is very well known in european circles and he kind of wants to keep his image and his politics as they are right now so we will have an exciting evening waiting for the results to come in and probably a very exciting week born after these elections. given the fact that as you say the results are coming in and we've yet to get the results whichever form the government is in with whoever eventually wins. it's still got the problems to deal with as you mentioned the country is in the middle of a recession it's facing the coronavirus pandemic on those numbers are rising so it's not like whatever government croatia eventually has is going to have an easy time of it is it. no it's not because the government does that when the lockdown started in march this year and it lasted for almost 2 months they. gave out a lot of. help to do this to the. employees and the companies in order to keep it going and keep this price is now the question is what left and then afford. or
