CROATIAN PURE PARTY OF RIGHTS CALLS FOR CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT

ZAGREB, April 10 (Hina) - The Croatian Pure Party of Rights (HCSP) believes that it is time for elections and the replacement of the incumbent government which this non-parliamentary party considers to be "anti-Croatian, anti-social and traitorous". It's time for national, patriotic and Christian democratic parties to come to power, the HCSP President, Luka Podrug, said at a press conference in Zagreb on Thursday. #L# He announced that the HCSP would be amongst the victors at the next parliamentary elections. He added that the party's presidency called on all similar parties for co-operation, at its last meeting held in Gospic. HCSP will call for the annulment of the sentence against the "Gospic Group", that was tried at Rijeka County Court, because, as Podrug says, the trial was a politically-motivated political process based on false testimonies and evidence submitted by the Belgrade military-medical academy and a declared advocate of a "Greater Serbia", Sava Strbac. Podrug estimated that the debate on the privatisation of the Suncani Hvar hotel, state guarantees been issued for the "Viktor Lenac" shipbuilding yards, and flagrant abuse of Minister Cacic's position whose wife's company is building government subsidised housing, just show that the current government is not protecting the interest of the Croatian people but is anational, antisocial and traitorous. The party's political secretary, Ivan Gabelica objected to the impossibility to commemorate the 10th of April and the 62nd anniversary of the founding of the Independent State of Croatia, which he described as the expression of the historical aspirations of the Croatian people at the time to have its own state. The European House cancelled the hall even though it had been booked well in advance and the Journalists' House refused to let their premises out for the purpose, according to Gabelica. He believes that these bans are in fact being directed by Zagreb's Mayor Vlasta Pavic. (hina) sp ms
