ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Opposition (Croatia)

Okay, so pretending we're both 5 years old, let me explain to you what opposition means in Croatia.

So, you know how sometimes you might like different things than your friends or family, like you might want to play a different game or eat a different food? Well, in Croatia, there are different groups of people who have different ideas about how the country should be run and what things are important.

Some of these people are in charge of the government and they make the rules and decisions for the whole country. But there are also people who disagree with them and want to change things. These people are called the opposition.

Think of it like a game of soccer. One team is the government and the other team is the opposition. The government team is trying to score points by making decisions and running the country, while the opposition team is trying to stop them or score points for themselves by proposing different ideas and criticizing the government's decisions.

Sometimes, the opposition can be pretty powerful and even make the government change their mind about things or get voted out of office. But other times, the government might be too strong or the opposition might not have enough support from the people to make a difference.

So, in summary, opposition in Croatia means a group of people who disagree with the government and want to change things, kind of like a soccer game between two teams with different ideas about how to win.
