The Croatian Labourists, a newly established political party was presented on Monday in Zagreb by its president Dragutin Lesar and another nine members of the party's presidency.

Lesar cited the dissatisfaction with the general state of affairs in Croatia, with the government's policy and a lack of good alternatives as reasons which prompted him and other people to establish Croatian Labourists,

The new party was founded on 27 February.

Currently it has commissioners and members in 13 counties.

Lesar, who became an independent MP after he left the Croatian People's Party (HNS), said nobody convicted for corruption, organised crime and white-collar crime, could join Croatian Labourists.
