The article discusses the potential scenario where the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), exhausted by internal power struggles and lacking clear political ideas, could lose upcoming elections. It suggests that such a loss would not be unthinkable, and it implies that there is a clear alternative ready to take their place. The piece references several HDZ figures—Plenki, Medved, Anušić, and Androković—as individuals who represent the current state of the party. It argues that despite widespread dislike for these figures, they remain influential within the country. The article also notes that while HDZ has strong support in Zagreb, the rest of Croatia does not trust any other party except HDZ. It concludes by stating that if HDZ were to field someone like Dončić, they would lack the necessary talent and resources, implying that everything of value in Croatian politics currently resides within HDZ.
Bias read (Center): The article presents a critical view of HDZ but does not explicitly favor any particular side. It acknowledges both the shortcomings of HDZ and the lack of viable alternatives, maintaining a balanced perspective without overtly leaning toward either criticism or praise.
