What will forever remain of Radic's doctrine in the
conscience of Croatian people is morals. In his last speech, addressed
to the people of Zagreb on July 16, 1928, before his death, Stjepan Radic
said:
"You good and honest stick
together, you villains keep apart."

What we need is outparliamentary movement aimed at
the renewal of our homeland. Since 1992 free thinking
and acting have been made impossible, creating fear . . .
. . . free thinking people should contemplate on a movement, but
moral one, not political. The problem of
Croatia is not shifting left or right - the problem is a vertical fall.

Hard times for the nation led by its "best sons".
They are all well-known autocrats and dictators of the 20th
century. Without exceptions, regardless ideologies. And yet,
it is noting new.

It is needless to prove that attacks on intelligenzia
are harmful to the country and its people. They are typical
of all autocratic and non-democratic tendencies of the 20th
century Croatia.

Croatia isn't a lawful state yet and this assertion
needn't to be proven as it is directly or indirectly confirmed
by the State Officials and members of the present governement . . .
. . . in a
rightless society there is and can be no elementary morality.

The problem of Croatia is how to translate its best
natural, human and cultural resources into best results.

- . . . last rectorial election was humiliating for
Zagreb University, it just showed shameful non-democracy directed by the
ruling policy.
- Vice-president of the ruling party was elected Rector after secret procedure
conducted through phoning only deans, . . .
- The University is to choose sides between university and state power.
The crucial thing here is not university autonomy though the Rector tries
to present it that way. It's rather the conflict between anarchy at University
and the State's intention to establish complete and personal control over
science and high education . . .
- . . . Šunjić is backed by few deans only, two of whome are true villains
. . .

Cultivation of rotten stuff of any kind including
Croatian state rotten cynicism alwais ends up knocking at your door. But
