Social Democratic Party (SDP) president Zoran Milanovic said on Friday that Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor's announcement yesterday that 150,000 jobs might be opened this year was unfeasible.
Speaking at an SDP rally in the coastal town of Solin, Milanovic said that cracking down on corruption was not up to the strongest opposition party, stressing that those who created it should do so.
"We are not for dealing with corruption. That's not our policy. Our policy is politics without corruption and life without corruption," he said.
"Those who created corruption have to deal with it today in an ugly way, those who lived it, those who have corruption in their genetic code and who looked the other way and became rich on it," Milanovic said, adding that those who "lived in corruption" should deal with it before parliamentary elections, scheduled for the end of the year.
Responding to questions from the press, he said Kosor's announcement of 150,000 jobs this year was unfeasible and that "it's not good to fill up people with unrealistic promises because it can blow up in one's face badly."
"If there are several thousand more new jobs than layoffs, this will be good for Croatia this year," he said.
