The opposition said, however, that the effects of said measures would
be minimal, and accused the ruling parties of making pensioners think
that their poor financial situation would finally improve, which the
opposition maintains is not true.
Defending the government measures, deputies of the Croatian Democratic
Union said pensioners and the government had agreed about the changes
and that the government had shown it intended to fulfil its
pre-election vow.
