On Saturday, 17 were held in Varaždin.

Reporting and thematic convention of SDP Varaždin County under the motto "Fight for Dignity". In Croatia, more than a fifth of the population lives at risk of poverty. The gap between rich and poor has deepened even more in inflation, and the HDZ government is not doing enough to adequately tackle this problem. That is why the struggle to preserve human dignity is the basis of SDP's policies for the coming period. With more than 500 delegates and in a good atmosphere, prominent SDP members such as Mirela Ahmetovic, Boris Lalovac, Neven Bosilj and Peđa Grbin spoke about the party's plans for the future. President of SDP Varaždin and Deputy Mayor Miroslav Marković pointed out that today as a Varaždin citizen and as a member of SDP he is extremely happy and proud, because in these two and a half years, since they took over the responsibility for the management of the city in June 2020, they have shown that they are working wholeheartedly and honestly for the benefit of the city and all its citizens." We did it despite destruction, budget demolition and dozens of false criminal charges, and that's why our success is even greater. This is our story, this is the story we wrote together in our Varaždin. And we can write the same story in the future in our district, in our third constituency and throughout Croatia. Because all our citizens deserve to live in an orderly state, where work and responsibility are valued, and young people have a perspective even without a HDZ membership card. That's the Kind of Croatia we want and we have to fight for that Croatia," marković said. President of SDP Varaždin County and MP Barbara Antolić Vupora pointed out that SDP introduced good changes in Varaždin." Social services and the communal standard, the right to a clean environment are the priorities we are guided by. Around us all over Croatia we see the rule of a clique that threatens the well-being of people through a combination of corruption and crime, a clique that sucks money from the budget and reduces the standard of people. HDZ and their satellites are networking for profit, they think they can do anything, they are without scruples, this network is terrible... We fight for the dignity of people, a dignified life, wages and pensions. Our small group of people in Varaždin shows it, it was recognized by the people in the local elections in April", said Antolić Vupora.Varaždin Mayor Neven Bosilj boasted about the implemented projects in his city, pointing out that the SDP in Varaždin did not hesitate to tackle the problems, which the citizens recognized in April when they again gave them confidence in the early elections." We sought solutions in the most transparent way possible and restored people's faith and hope that one could succeed. We introduced transparency of spending public money - We went to the solution of the ball and we were persistent in respecting the law and the profession, thereby forcing the Government to accept our solution as the only possible and legal. We were the first in the country to go with free meals for children in schools, a model that was then transcribed and implemented by the Government throughout the country. We were the first to introduce a program of psychologists in schools, the first we started with a measure against menstrual poverty. We have also significantly increased funding for social programs, support programs for our pensioners and young families for newborn children. We are building kindergartens, renovating schools, investing in higher education, we have increased the fund of funds for scholarships of our students and students. We have launched new projects for the construction of apartments for our young fellow citizens, because we want to provide them with affordable housing", said Bosilj.Mp Boris Lalovac presented SDP's plan for pensions and salary increases and preservation of citizens' standards." Sdp with its policies opens important issues, to protect the standard and dignity of Croatian citizens. And that's why we've said that our policy focuses on pensioners and workers. Because they have experienced the biggest drop in standards these three years. We are also trying to change the formula for pension adjustment. There is absolutely enough money to give a permanent allowance to pensioners. The first year 10%, each subsequent 5%. There's so much money that the poor don't even know how they manage that money. They increased the workers by 6 to 10 euros. It's a shame! This is the capitulation of the state. And that's why the SDP has a model that we represented through corporate tax stimulation. There is no extra profit over people's backs. And to do that, we have to win. Why am I convinced that the GoP will come to power? Because it's hard. The SDP always came to power in Croatia when it was difficult – in 2000 when the country was in isolation. And 2012 was the biggest recession that Croatia does not remember in 30 years. The GoP has left economic growth. Today, dignity has disappeared in society. The state and citizens are not speculators, they are not criminals. Croatian citizens are workers, pensioners. The little one, the usual
