ZAGREB, July 27, 2020 - The Homeland Movement parliamentary group asked from the government on Monday a detailed report on the HRK 100,000 from the state budget spent on the commemoration in Srb which it claims celebrates "the genocidal slaughter of Croats in Boricevac and neighbouring villages."
"At a time when budgetary revenues are low, when big companies relevant for the system are reducing salaries, when people are being sacked, when we don't know where the drop in the standard of living will stop, the Croatian government is financing a gathering which celebrates the genocidal slaughter of Croats in Boricevac and neighbouring villages, with HRK 100,000!" MP Katarina Vidovic Kresto told reporters.
She said it was unacceptable to allow a celebration of the slaughter of one's own people. "That's revolting and schizophrenic," she said, recalling the killing of the Ivezic family, 24 children, women, elderly and others.
She said the government financed the celebration with taxpayers' money and asked for a detailed report from Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and Finance Minister Zdravko Maric. "The government is accountable to parliament. We demand a detailed report on the expenses."
The party's whip, Milan Vrkljan, said all of the Boricevac villagers were killed, that the village was burned down and all land records were destroyed.
