Croatian opposition leader Siniša Hajdaš Dončić says government anti-inflation packages increase inflation

In Croatia, Siniša Hajdaš Dončić, leader of the Social Democratic Party, criticized the government's anti-inflation packages, saying they increase inflation. He noted that energy prices have risen over 20% in a year. The State Bureau of Statistics reported September's annual inflation at 4.7%, up from August. Dončić argued the government's policies favor large capital over investments in food production and energy self-sufficiency, burdening citizens with high bills.
