ZAGREB, Nov 14 (Hina) - The Social Democratic Action (ASH) party on
Friday held a press conference outside a soup kitchen in Zagreb at
which party president Zlatko Klaric called on citizens to vote for
his party "because it is fighting for the socially deprived." #L#
Addressing a crowd queuing for a meal, Klaric said they were left
jobless thanks to the incompetence of the former and present
governments.
Among you there are retired people who were deprived of their
pensions by the former government and who were not given their
pensions back by the present government despite their promises.
There are also workers who are working without being paid for their
work and who have been deprived of their rights. And there are also
those who live at subsistence level and who do not have enough money
to buy bread, he said.
ASH is running in the forthcoming parliamentary elections in a
coalition with the Alliance for Peace and Justice led by Rev. Ivan
Grubisic and member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences Ivan Supek.
Klaric said that this meant that many intellectuals recognised the
ASH as a true champion of social democracy.
