Government lowered salaries in public sector by 6% and implemented additional income taxes on all salaries in the country - public and private sector, (2% for every salary between 400 and 800 euros, and 4% for every salary > 800 euros). Also, government raised the current "global" tax from 22% to 23%. Because the state of the economy and welfare is deteriorating in Croatia for the last 5 years, and because government spends as drunk millionaire, steals tax payers money, invest in unnecessary and economically inviable projects (like the longest bridge in Europe for example in a part of country where only 2% of cars is registered or 10 sport arenas financed by credits on public debt for 30 years - which leases are too expensive for the community to use - and are now empty 360 days per year) - people are getting sick of paying the bad management. Every problem is solved by raising taxes, or measures like expanding non-free parking zones - which directly target small, ordinary people, and their standard. Now people are starting to be really disturbed by the latest taxes, and union leaders are organizing demonstrations for the September - government ordered training of the police forces for mass riots... How convenient, maybe they even go with mass vaccination along ![]() Same stories around the whole globe... People, please wake up

Ah yes the joys of eu 'membership', wait until they swamp your cities & suburbs with 3rd world transients.
Rebel or voice your vexation & you're vilified a nationalist, racist, antsemite.

Croatia is on the brink. They're about to join the EU. The Chinese are already starting to come to my home town looking for greener pastures.
