Javn: Croatia Is A Repressive Country
Croatia Is A Repressive Country
The world media, which have been following events in Croatia since the start of the so-called Facebook scandal, have also paid attention to the anti-government protest on December 5, organized by Facebook – a social network site. Creator of the “I bet I can find 5,000 people who dislike Sanader” group Niksa Klecak was arrested, along with some other activists who were putting up posters which announced the protests. If all goes as planned the Prime Minister will soon have a much bigger issue on their hands. For a country with less than 600,000 users on Facebook, mobilizing over 10 percent of the Facebook population would be more than an impressive feat. The country’s population is less than 5 million so if the protests materialize, this will be a historic event – Social Times writes, quoting sources from Canada media. Reuters reports that several thousand Croats demanded early elections on a Facebook organised protest, better health care and education - Anti-government protesters gathered in the city's main square called on Prime Minister Ivo Sanader to "go away" in response to his plea that Croats cut their spending in the face of the global financial crisis.
