Ustasha Nazis defaced election posters of Serbs and Socialists in Croatia
In Croatian cities and villages, election posters for the Independent Democratic Serbian Party (SDSS) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) were covered in Serb and Ustasha slogans. Zadar SDP Chairman Danijel Radeta became the only Croatian politician to publicly condemn right-wing radicals, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
For the parliamentary elections to be held on April 17, Croatia's Serb minority party, the Independent Democratic Serb Party (SDSS), decided to go alone, not in a coalition. But with the prospect of forming a coalition in the country’s parliament – the Sabor. The slogan of the Croatian Serb Party for these elections was the motto “Croatia needs Serbs”, posted on election posters throughout the country.
SDSS billboards were predictably vandalized by numerous Croatian right-wing radicals, who added new words to them, resulting in the following inscriptions: “Croatia needs to slaughter the Serbs,” “Croatia needs Serbs on the willows.”
Supporters of the Ustasha ideology painted them with the characteristic letter U with “ears” on the edges and the Ustashe motto “Ready for the Fatherland!” (Za Dom spremni!).
“The great Zadar patriots are in a festive mood. Under the cover of night, several primates in black masks and hoods, like the biggest scoundrels and cowards, burn, paint, devastate, and sow hatred. Zadar's rock art has moved from walls to billboards. Rivers of justice will come and wash away this filth from our streets!” commented Daniel Radeta, chairman of the city cell of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Zadar, commenting on the vandalism of right-wing radicals.
The posters of the SDP, the heir to the League of Communists of Croatia, also suffered from right-wing radicals, who wrote on them: “For the house and the cross against the communists.”
