A Citizen Interrupted Milanović’s Speech: What Have You Done for Dalmatia?

Baldasar is by far the best choice, stated Prime Minister and SDP leader Zoran Milanović last night at Matejuška in Split, where he expressed support for his party colleague and candidate of the SDP-HNS-HSU coalition for the mayor of Split, Ivo Baldasar.

Milanović compared Baldasar to an old German diesel engine, which takes time to reach operating temperature when started, but once it gets going, it doesn’t stop.

– When I look at Split, I wonder if this is the Balkans? No, this is the Mediterranean cradle, the pride of all Croatian citizens. Therefore, the choice is simple. On one side, you have those who call themselves independents, but are dependent on private interests, and on the other side, a man of clean hands and a clear mind. Baldasar is by far the best choice – he stated.

Baldasar, who held the campaign rally under the slogan ‘Split Matters’, said he does not want to talk much about his political opponents because they, he said, speak enough about themselves.

– The past four years have been wasted. I hope that with these new elections we will change the situation in the city and that we will finally get a real mayor – he emphasized.

Baldasar stated that Split has had a mayor who did not work, a situation where the budget was not filled, but rather the Employment Service. – We want to change that situation and therefore we invite you to go out and vote on May 19 and allow us to win – he urged.

Alongside Prime Minister Milanović, numerous SDP ministers were present in Split last night – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Regional Development and EU Funds Branko Grčić, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Social Policy and Youth Milanka Opačić, Minister of Administration Arsen Bauk, Minister of Defense Ante Kotromanović, and Minister of Transport Siniša Hajdaš Dončić.

While Milanović was speaking, a man from the audience shouted twice, ‘What have you done for Dalmatia?’, after which two plainclothes police officers removed him from the gathering. Citizens were entertained at Matejuška by Hari Rončević and the klapa Cambi.
