The article centers on the controversy surrounding Davor MatijeviÄ, the SDP mayoral candidate for Split, facing allegations of attempting to defraud a party colleague. The situation is analyzed in the context of SDP and Možemo!'s commitment to ethical politics.
The article further focuses on the strategic choices of SDP and Možemo! in the upcoming Split-Dalmatia County elections. They're supporting Ranko OstojiÄ, who has a significantly lower chance of winning against the incumbent HDZ candidate, Blaženko Boban, compared to Ivana NinÄeviÄ LesandriÄ. This decision is seen as a detriment to the coalition's overall chances of defeating the HDZ.
The authors criticize the coalition's choice to support OstojiÄ over NinÄeviÄ LesandriÄ, arguing this undermines their chances of winning the county election. This decision is compared to the controversial choice of Možemo! to run independently in the 2023 parliamentary elections, leading to HDZ's victory.
The article also highlights the apparent contradiction of SDP's SiniÅ”a HajdaÅ” DonÄiÄ, criticizing Ivica Puljak's liberal stance while simultaneously collaborating with Matija Posavec, a former member of a liberal party.
In essence, the article argues that while MatijeviÄ's situation is a notable issue, the bigger problem lies in the flawed strategic decision-making by SDP and Možemo!, which could strengthen the HDZ and hamper the opposition's chances of gaining power.
