Minister Kosor Chases Away DC Youth

As DC Youth president Valentina Jarnjak was ‘harsh with the minister’, they continued their discussion with the police.

Democratic Centre (DC) Youth yesterday wanted to hand to Minister Jadranka Kosor a petition of citizens voicing their disapproval with the fact that the government was not solving youth problems. But, instead of the ministry of family, Homeland War soldiers and inter-generation solidarity listening to them, she called the police to chase them away. 

We wanted the minister to see us

The police arrived immediately and asked for the DC Youth members’ identity cards. A government courier, Dragutin Kurek, explained to them that the minister did not wish to see them because their president Valentina Jarnjak had been extremely harsh towards her.

-- We wanted her to see us and look at the petition so we could suggest amendments to the electoral law, that is, the moving the right to vote from 18 to 16 years of age – Valentina Jarnjak explained, stressing that the youth had been waiting for a meeting with the minister for three months, in which she was completely uninterested.
