LIBRA PARTY HOLDS ELECTION RALLY IN DOWNTOWN ZAGREB

ZAGREB, Nov 16 (Hina) - The Party of Liberal Democrats (Libra) expects the coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Libra to win the upcoming parliamentary elections and continue governing the country, Libra leader Jozo Rados said at an election rally in downtown Zagreb on Sunday held under the slogan "Without Politics". #L# He estimated that Libra would remain a parliamentary party and keep its club of deputies after the 23 November elections. Libra expects to win at least three seats in parliament, he said. Asked why the meeting was held under the slogan "Without Politics", Rados said that the political scene in Croatia was burdened with too much politics, which was why his party decided to organise a non- political rally. Asked to comment on Social Liberal Party leader Drazen Budisa's statement that the SDP formed the coalition with Libra to help it keep its seats in parliament, Rados said he did not understand the statement because parties formed coalitions to achieve something, which was why the SDP and Libra formed a coalition. Libra representatives made a donation for an association assisting the parents of drug-addicts at a fund-raiser organised to help establish a community for the treatment of drug-addicts near Petrinja.
