Croatian political polarization and party shifts

Overview

Political trends in Croatia show a decline in support for the major parties, the ruling HDZ and the SDP, while smaller parties like Možemo! and Most experience growth. Polling indicates that 62% of citizens believe the country is moving in the wrong direction, citing corruption and inflation as primary concerns. While President Zoran Milanović maintains 50% approval, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and the government hold lower support at approximately 30%.

This landscape is characterized by deepening political polarization and intense rhetorical division. Analysts observe a shift toward a bipolar model where the HDZ is pitted against all other parties. This division has extended to consensus-based topics such as resource management and environmental protection. The discourse has become increasingly polarized, with the government labeling the opposition as “paranoid” and the opposition accusing the government of “fascization” or the “occupation of institutions.”
