Two thirds of Croatians want referendum despite government´s concession

Two thirds of Croatians say they want a referendum on controversial labour law amendments despite the government already withdrawing it.  A survey by market research agency GkK shows that 65 of those questioned would like to see the referendum take place. Twenty two think it is no longer needed considering the government has retracted the amendments, while 13 per cent are undecided. Earlier this summer, labour unions had collected almost double the necessary number of petition signatures in order to call for a referendum.

Those in Istria, Rijeka and Gorski Kotar are most in favour of the referendum (71 per cent) and so are the young people, under 34 and middle-aged, between 55 and 64 years old (73 per cent).  Also well-represented amongst the supporters are those with high school degrees (71 per cent) and those whose average monthly incomes are either below 248 Euros (71 per cent) and between 760 and 1,097 Euros (70 per cent).
