Opinion Sources not specified Context piece
  • The article questions who has the right to judge "haters" of Croatia, referencing a perceived misuse of the justice system.
  • It criticizes politicians, clergy, journalists, and public figures for allegedly ignoring corruption and state-sanctioned "suicides" and "accidents."
  • The author accuses the ruling party of corruption, liquidation, and betraying Croatia.

The article provocatively questions who possesses the authority to define "haters" of Croatia, suggesting that those who wield the judicial system for personal gain might be the true detractors. It launches a scathing critique against a broad spectrum of public figures, including politicians, clergy, journalists, and prominent individuals like coach Zlatko Daliฤ‡, accusing them of feigning ignorance regarding corruption and alleged state-organized "suicides" and "accidents."

The piece details a series of suspicious deaths and incidents involving businessmen and whistleblowers, implying they were orchestrated to silence dissent or eliminate threats to those in power. Examples cited include a businessman who allegedly "committed suicide" shortly after seeking funds, an intelligence officer found dead after testifying in a corruption case, and a former TV owner who "drowned" months after selling his company. The author directly links these events to the ruling HDZ party and its alleged "underlings."

Furthermore, the article condemns the ruling party for its alleged involvement in numerous criminal affairs, including scandals related to reconstruction efforts, privatization of insurance companies, and other corrupt practices. It accuses the party of using state security agency SOA to carry out "liquidations" and cover up crimes. The author concludes by accusing the party and its supporters of betraying Croatia through theft and murder, invoking religious figures in a highly critical and accusatory manner.
