Depends on what you are looking at - but yes. Wages also rose considerably, below inflation, but still I think thats the same story as everywhere else.

I think the main difference is that (in my opinion) Croatia used to be unbeatable for the price/quality of life ratio, nowadays it's probably slightly overpriced, but depends on what you value.

Is the cost of living inflation relative to income fuelling the current shift to the right in Croatian politics? This was on the international news yesterday: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz60nyp3714o

if you want to travel down this conversational path you should probably choose a better example than people going to a rock concert of the country's biggest rock star , regarding the given example there are a few cans of worms to unpack that would result in massive deviation from the question at hand

Not really - there is no right shift, Croatia is very catholic and right leaning since the civil war. But at the same time the I would say it's mostly performative and not really that extreme as painted in the article.
