The Social Democrats (hr|Socijaldemokrati) is a Croatian centre-left political party founded in 2022. The party was preceded by a parliamentary group of the same name that broke away from the Social Democratic Party of Croatia in October 2021.[2]
The party was officially launched on July 9, 2022, and at the time of foundation was the largest opposition force in the Sabor (Croatian Parliament).[3] The party stated they will not go against the initiatives of Croatian Democratic Union that benefit the citizens, and that they do not have plans to be obstructive.[4]
In October 2023, Social Democrats formed a political coalition with the Croatian Peasant Party for the 2024 Croatian parliamentary elections called Our Croatia, which has since been joined by Croatian Labourists – Labour Party and Democrats.[5] In March 2024, the Croatian Peasant Party left the coalition Our Croatia to join the centre/centre-left coalition Rivers of Justice.[6] Social Democrats did not manage to have any of its members elected to the 11th assembly of the Croatian Parliament.[7]
