Anto Kovačević (21 March 1952 – 14 November 2020) was a Croatian philosopher, publicist and politician.[2]
A native of
left-wing Social Democratic Party of Croatia (SDP), he entered the Croatian Parliament
in 1995.
As the rule of Franjo Tuđman neared its end, Kovačević, as well as his party, began to distance itself from Croatian political centre and shift to hardline nationalist right, embodied in their new partners Croatian Party of Rights (HSP).[3]
During the 2005 presidential election, Kovačević ran as HKDU candidate, finishing 8th with 0.86% of the vote.[4] He died from COVID-19 in Zagreb on 15 November 2020, at age 68.[5]
