Party presidency member Nikola Ruzinski said at a press conference
today the unions and employers should submit their proposals to the
government which obviously lacked development and reform
programmes.
Ruzinski believes the government is not solving the problem of
unemployment, but rather implementing an IMF project which views
Croatia as a country with cheap labour.
The DC official also considers that the Labour Day union protests
mark the government's political downfall.
Ruzinski said the government should reduce tax burdens and
stimulate safe investments, as well as make cuts in the
administration.
