Croatian Parties Submit Donation Reports: HDZ Far Ahead of All Others

Croatian political parties have submitted their semi-annual donation reports, revealing a significant financial disparity among them. The ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) leads the pack, having collected around 102,000 euros from donors. This amount surpasses the combined total raised by all other parliamentary parties, highlighting the HDZ's dominant fundraising capacity.

In contrast, eleven parties, including the Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS), reported receiving no donations during the first half of the year. These parties, along with independent representatives, face potential fines ranging from 1,327 to 13,272 euros if they fail to submit their reports to the State Election Commission (DIP).

Among the parties that did report donations, Možemo! secured 36,000 euros, followed by HNS with 16,600 euros. Other parties like HSS, DOMiNO, Hrvatska stranka umirovljenika, Centar, and SDP reported smaller amounts, with SDP receiving 1,300 euros from three donors. The deadline for submission was midnight Wednesday, and DIP will publish the reports on the first working day after their entry into the information system.
