Talk:Croatian parliamentary election, 1990

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What do the initials stand for?

Anoyingly, Hrvatska u Izborima 90 doesn't expand any of the initials. My guess would be that SS-SSH is the Socialist Alliance with the Social Democrats of Croatia, that HDS is the Croatian Democratic Party and the SDS is the Serbian Democratic Party but not being sure I decided to leav it for someone who is more sure to expand them.

Jesus what a freak show..."leaders of Croatian Spring" were not anti-Communists. They WERE communists. Savka was the Prime minister, for crying out loud. I corrected it to "liberal" communists, because later on, in 1992, they have formed Croatian people's party, that is the party of liberal-democraty.

Savka and Tripalo were Communists in 1971, perhaps they even considered themselves to be Communists in 1990, but they definitely didn't campaign under that banner in 1990. Calling them "liberal Communists" in context of 1990 elections is wrong. --Raoul DMR 07:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree on that, that the banner of "liberal communists" is wrong for KNS on elections in 1990, but their program wan't anticommunist nor nationalist. That is missleadning and false. That was the coalition of liberal, leftish and mild national parties or groups. That is why they called themselves "The Accord". Savka and Tripalo later on created another liberal party (Gotovac, also a member of The Accord created first non-communist party - Croatian Social Liberals in 1989), HKDU was also created from the Accord and HDS supported HDZ later on. Also, a small group of Croatian Social Democrats joyined SDP in 1994. I say it again, calling them anti-communist (just because they represented themselves against Racan's "reformed communists") is wrong, and calling them nationalists is missleading (because the "national" idea was the main catch of HDZ). I would recommend to write liberals and populars. See very good aricle about that Coalition of People's Accord--Marko Jurcic 13:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
