Analyst on the Bridge: They are in the yin-yang position and have the second most famous locksmith in Croatian history

In recent months, four political parties—HDZ, SDP, Možemo!, and Most—have maintained stable ratings above five percent in public opinion surveys. Most, led by President Nikola Grmoja, has announced ambitions to win at least 20 parliamentary seats in upcoming elections, claiming it has no competition on the right side of the political spectrum. Grmoja stated that Most is stronger than other right-wing parties and has been growing steadily in popularity and membership. However, political analyst Žarko Puhovski argues that Most’s future plans are more fantasy than reality, noting their past behavior as a non-governmental organization rather than a serious political force. He criticized their previous involvement in governance, particularly their support for Prime Minister Tihomir Orešković, which he called the worst choice in history. Puhovski also pointed out that while Most could become the strongest extreme-right party, they cannot surpass HDZ as the dominant right-wing force. Additionally, there appears to be a division within Most between centrist and extremist factions, with Marin Miletić—a well-known figure due to his controversial actions—playing a prominent role in promoting党

Varvodić is not a fair alternative to Primorca, it's just a power clash.

The article discusses comments made by Nikola Grmoja, president of Most, during an interview with Nin Kljenak on Nova Doba. Grmoja commented on the arrest of Damir Šegot and the election of the president of the Croatian Olympic Committee. He expressed his opinion that Varvodić is not a fair alternative to Primorac but rather a conflict between factions.

Bias read (Center): The article presents Grmoja's views without overtly favoring any side. It reports his statement regarding Varvodić and Primorac as a factional conflict, without additional commentary or biased language.

Why factuality (70): The article mentions the arrest of Damir Šegot and references the election process but lacks specific details or direct quotes from involved parties. It also introduces Nikola Grmoja’s opinion without providing sufficient context or counterpoints, making it less factually robust compared to the firs

Why objectivity (60): The article takes a clear stance by stating that Varvodić is 'not a fair alternative' to Primorac, showing a biased perspective. It frames the situation as a 'conflict of currents,' which suggests an ideological angle rather than presenting a neutral account.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both perspectives: Most's claims of growth and strength, as reported through their leader Nikola Grmoja, and the critical analysis from Žarko Puhovski questioning these claims. The article does not favor one side over the other but provides balanced viewpoints.

The big shift in the right wing is just beginning.

The article discusses the political landscape in Croatia, focusing on the rise of the 'Most' party under its leader Nikola Grmović. It notes that 'Most' has become a significant force on the right, potentially challenging the ruling HDZ party. Grmović believes his party could secure at least 20 parliamentary seats in upcoming elections, which would make forming a government without cooperation from 'Most' nearly impossible. The article highlights the internal dynamics within the right-wing spectrum, noting that while 'Most' is now stronger than the Democratic Party (DP), it still lacks the leadership role traditionally held by HDZ. The piece also mentions past attempts by figures like Miroslav Škoro and Ivan Penava to unite right-wing parties but points out these efforts have largely failed. The article suggests that 'Most' is positioning itself as a potential leader among right-wing parties, despite ongoing challenges.

Bias read (Center): While the article presents 'Most' as a rising force on the right, it does not overtly favor one side over another. It provides balanced information about the party’s growth, its potential influence, and the historical context of other right-wing parties like HDZ and DP. There is no clear ideological
