U.S. not the only nation where charges of "Communism" are heard

by Jeff Gimm

Croatia's Presidential campaign has begun in earnest with the winners of the runoff election hurling different charges at each other. The election sees Ivo Josipovic, of the opposition Social Democrats campaigning against Zagreb mayor Milan Bandic. Bandic made accusations that a vote for Josipovic was a vote for a "Red Croatia." The AFP notes that "observers noted that Bandic himself also emerged from the former communist SDP party." The last poll found Josipovic with a 17 point lead over Bandic. Whoever wins the February election will lead Croatia as it joins the European Union.
