Croatia has never had an anti-people government, no matter how bad that government might have been, but the country has always had democratically-elected authorities, Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said at the beginning of his cabinet's session on Wednesday in response to the criticism of opposition leader Tomislav Karamarko that "an anti-people government" is now in power in Croatia.

Such assessments are rhetoric from 1945, 1946,1947 and 1948, which we are not accustomed to. Some people are obviously adept at such rhetoric, PM Milanovic said.

This government is a government that has won the confidence of the Croatian people, Milanovic said.

At a recent meeting of the Croatian Democratic Union's (HDZ) founders, new HDZ chief Karamarko described the government led by the Social Democratic Party as an "anti-people" government.
