Most, a political party in Rijeka, Croatia, has publicly responded to criticism from the Social Democratic Party (SDP) following their announcement that they would no longer support Mayor Ivana Rinčić in the City Council. This decision stems from Rinčić's continued advocacy for a health education program that Most perceives as overly ideologically driven. Petra Mandić, a city council member for Most, stated that the SDP would have been better off remaining silent, as they have a history of attempting to forge political alliances with Most that have consistently been rejected.

Mandić elaborated on past attempts by the SDP to establish coalitions with Most, citing several instances where prominent SDP figures like Vojko Obersnel and Marko Filipović made overtures for political collaboration over the years. Despite these overtures, Mandić has maintained that Most's political stance is grounded in three fundamental principles, which they refuse to compromise on, thereby reinforcing their position against the SDP's values.

This exchange highlights the divisive political landscape in Rijeka, reflecting broader ideological battles within Croatian politics. Most's firm stance against what they term as ideological health education represents not only opposition to the current mayor’s policy but also a broader strategy to assert their identity and principles in a highly polarized environment.
