ZAGREB, Dec 1 (Hina) - The Croatian Pure Party of Rights (HCSP) will
base its economy programme on a radical decrease of the tax burdened
of citizens, craftsmen and business people.
Only through such policy the further impoverishment of Croatia,
HCSP president Ivan Gabelica told Wednesday's news conference.
Reducing public expenditure and restoring confidence of citizens
into Croatian banks would ensure resources for production, the HCSP
said.
Gabelica criticised Croatia's speedy debts abroad, assessing that
foreign loans should be used for the stimulation of production, not
for decreasing budgetary deficit.
The HCPS especially advocates the protection of small stock-
holders and the introduction of special stimuli for employers
opening new job opportunities.
The party holds that Croatia must turn towards promoting maritime
economy and agriculture, and will advocate a timely buy out of
peasant products at favourable prices.
The HCSP will pay special attention to pensioners, Croatian
Homeland War Soldiers and political prisoners.
The party criticised the ruling party for the fact that the
government budget had grown in the past two years by 35 per cent,
while the gross domestic product rose by less than 12 per cent.
Statistics indicate that this year the GDP will be less than in
1998, while at the same time the number of companies whose accounts
have been blocked has grown.
The HCSP considers the ruling party responsible for such a state,
but stressed that the first announcements of recession in Croatia
had occurred in mid-eighties, so the creators of the economic
policy from the period of communism also bore a part of the
responsibility for the current situation.
