During a lively disccussion, <strong>Mislav Bago (Nova TV), Damira Gregoret (RTL Hrvatska), Jerko Trogrli\u0107 (VAJT) and Gordan Turkovi\u0107 (CTA komunikacije)<\/strong> shared their opinion with our moderator Marina \u010culi\u0107 Fischer about the &#8220;safe&#8221; slogan of HDZ, the growth of SDP&#8217;s rating and the behaviour of President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety Built On Fear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The debate began with the premise that the timing of the election was an expected step by the ruling party (HDZ), which took place on a wave of successful coronavirus-related communication. The panellists agreed that the situation had changed dramatically in the meantime and that the messages needed to be adapted to the new environment, <strong>which did not happen<\/strong>. Mislav Bago emphasized that the only chance for HDZ to successfully communicates the slogan &#8220;Safe Croatia&#8221; to voters is to wake again the feeling of fear &#8211; this time from the uncertain economic situation, i.e. the recession in which Croatia is definitely going, with which Jerko Trogrli\u0107 agreed adding that the messages from yesterday are outdated and how voters today are already looking towards the future. He also pointed of the problem of changing the state leadership in context of voter&#8217;s insecurity for the future development of situation, as well as the lack of a sense of leadership by opposition leader Davor Bernardi\u0107 and the dubious authenticity of the Restart coalition. All panellists agreed that <strong>no political option offers a vision for the future development of the country<\/strong> and all parties have a chronical lack of content. They also mentioned the possibility of soon re-elections without the currently key political leaders &#8211; Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 and Davor Bernardi\u0107. Mislav Bago picturesquely said that the two of them are playing the game of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Five-Minute Sex<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking about which communication messages the parties should send to voters, Bago pointed out that programs are not what moves people, and that <strong>voters make their value judgment and decide who to vote for earlier<\/strong>, based on their own preferences and emotions. Trogrli\u0107 did not completely agree with that, and pointed out that some indecisive or passive voters can be motivated by quality campaigns, carefully selected targeted messages and consistent communication. He vividly described Croatia&#8217;s election communication as &#8220;sex in which there is an exclusively missionary position during which the lights are turned off and everything is over in five minutes&#8221;, while <strong>voters expect to be seduced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Turkovi\u0107 continued with the conclusion that Croatian political communication lacks ideas and innovations, that the advice of communication experts is not listened, nor are all available tools used, especially digital ones. Bago agreed and concluded that this was due to the attitude of local politicians who think that they are in fact the best PR and communication experts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Milanovi\u0107 Against SDP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commenting on President Milanovic&#8217;s recent communication, Damira Gregoret pointed out that the president&#8217;s messages and behaviour were contradictory and helped the prime minister, i.e. the mobilization of the right-wing voters, which SDP certainly does not satisfy.<\/p>\n<p>In the final part of the panel, Trogrli\u0107 advised politicians <strong>not to engage with banalities and ideological debates<\/strong> and to offer indecisive voters a vision of a new Croatia. Turkovi\u0107 said they should use expert advice more. Gregoret told them to choose battles carefully and have clear goals, and Bago reminded to have mind that less is actually more and told the politicians not to deceive voters, because that will drag our country into an even bigger depression.<\/p>\n<p>You can watch and listen to the whole discussion on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A2MjQA3EsIQ\">Dialog YouTube<\/a>channel, and to find out what will be discussed in the next #StartDialog panel, subscribe to our newsletter via <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/Dialog_newsletter\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/Dialog_newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2020 parliamentary elections in Croatia once again showed the communication inflexibility of Croatian politicians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
