On Sunday, the Movement for Secular Croatia published the answers of political parties to the question they asked whether they considered that the Agreements between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia should be revised / terminated in order to protect the secularity guaranteed by the Constitution. Namely, they note that on June 8, the associations Protagora, LiberOS, the Center for Civic Courage and the Movement for Secular Croatia sent an open letter to political parties with this issue. On June 20, the deadline for comment expired, so today the Movement encloses the received answers, negative and positive, as well as the list of parties that did not respond. The addresses for sending were taken, they say, from the Register of Political Parties, aware that some may not participate in the election process or are no longer active. In order not to revise / terminate the Agreements between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia, the HDZ and HGS Željko Kerum declared themselves . HDZ: The Holy See is the primordial subject of international law The HDZ notes that the Holy or Apostolic See is the central and administrative body of the Catholic Church. "She is also the original subject of international law. Therefore, the signed Agreements between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia create a political and legal framework for the activities of the Catholic Church in our country," the party said. From the legal point of view, they say, the agreements were signed by representatives of two subjects of international law, and therefore have international legal value. "The Holy See enjoys a special status in international law characterized as sui generis. Individual Treaties of this type represent a departure from the traditionally regulated relationship between Church and State, which has been established through concordat for centuries," the HDZ said. The paper, they add, emphasizes the importance of the international legal regulation of relations with the Holy See, which enjoys its international personality because other international actors want to enter into international relations with it, including Croatia. "At the same time, as an equally important fact, we point out that according to the last census, 86.28 percent of the citizens of the Republic of Croatia declared themselves to be Catholics," the HDZ members concluded. HGS: We do not agree with secular Croatia! From Kerumovog HGS's say, with all due respect to all the other religious communities, do not agree with the secular Croatian state, in which over 85 percent are Catholic. "We believe that in a secular state the majority of Croatian citizens would be oppressed by minority religious communities, which is unacceptable. All Croatian citizens, regardless of religion, are obliged to respect the Republic of Croatia and the vast majority of Catholics. Since we stand for a democratic society, it is very simple, let the majority decide in a referendum ", they conclude. Although the parties We Can !, New Left, Workers' Front, ORaH, Zagreb is ours! and For the City ”in the coalition are running together in the upcoming parliamentary elections, the answers were sent separately. We can !: The Vatican needs an international bilateral agreement, as do other countries In the political platform We can say that they agree with the detection of problems arising from the Vatican agreements, and are of the opinion that Croatia should have an international bilateral cooperation agreement with the Vatican, as with any other country. "However, this agreement cannot undertake obligations whose implementation violates the constitutional values ​​of the separation of church and state, ie the secular state, and the issue of sovereignty in the implementation of its own policies, especially in the field of education," they said. The New Left also believes that the Agreements between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia should be revised / terminated, in order to protect secularity guaranteed by the Constitution. "So far, there has been no political will to revise / terminate the Agreement between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia, which seems to be the main reason for the 'status quo', which continues to produce damage to constitutional values ​​and public revenues." from that party. New Left: Economic circumstances have changed since the signing of the Treaty until today Apart from the "threat to the secularity of the state", they say, the conditions for reviewing the Vatican treaties have been met because the economic circumstances have changed since their signing until today. "Transparency has become a high value of democratic societies and the very top of the Catholic Church advocates for it and begins to implement it in part. Only transparency can prevent abuses in financial operations, especially when it comes to spending public revenues," the New Left said. The ORaH briefly states that the Vatican treaties should at least be revised, and then gradually abolished, and they also sent a short answer from the Workers' Front - "We are for the termination of the Vatican treaties." They are also short from the party For the City - "We believe that the Agreements between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia should be revised / terminated in order to protect the secularity guaranteed by the Constitution". Democrats and Labor: Religion must not divide society In the Democrats-Croatian Labor coalition, they note that the revision of the Vatican treaties is one of their main program determinants, "both financial and religious practices". "Religion must not create a schism in society and it is necessary to relieve the state budget, especially now when the great economic crisis is at our door. The church has played an important role in preserving national identity in national history. However, today Croatia is an independent state. The church should dedicate itself to its science and teaching ", they say from that coalition. They emphasize that the Church has no place in politics, in schools, in state institutions, in culture. "Faith is a private matter of every man and the Church in Croatia must respect this reach of the 21st century," they claim. The Pametno party reminds that since its establishment they have supported the secularity of the Republic of Croatia through its program and fundamental values ​​of the party, claiming that the relationship between the Republic of Croatia and the Holy See should be regulated, but not by such agreements as they are currently. "The answer to your question is: yes. Croatia is a secular republic defined by the constitution in which religion and the state must be uncompromisingly separated," the party said. The CFP also considers that the Agreements between the Holy See and the Republic of Croatia should be terminated / revised in order to protect the secularity guaranteed by the Constitution. "You will be able to read our position in our election program, which will be published soon, and every year we express it at the protests you organize (Break!)," They say to the Movement for Secular Croatia.
