In the modern environment the COVID-19 pandemic has certainly as the biggest health and economic crisis in recent history changed society as a whole and all its branches. In addition to having significant consequences on the health picture of the world's population it has greatly damaged the economy as a whole and the entire social environment. It is precisely the political scene that makes decisions and measures and addresses the public in times of crisis that plays a significant role in crises, as well as in a pandemic crisis. In the Republic of Croatia active measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic were taken by the Croatian Government headed by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and the appointed National Civil Protection Headquarters which addressed residents daily through the media. The question arises of the attitude of the Croatian population regarding the actions of Croatian politicians in the pandemic and especially the work and actions of the most popular Croatian political parties as Hrvatska demokratska zajednica (HDZ) and Socijaldemokratska partija (SDP). In this paper empirical research was conducted among the inhabitants of the Republic of Croatia (n=320) most of whom live in the City of Zagreb with the aim of discovering the attitudes of the Croatian population about the image of the HDZ and SDP political parties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey showed that Croatian residents are very interested in following the Croatian political scene, that they are regularly informed about current political events but also that they regularly go to the polls. However they are not completely satisfied with the work of the HDZ and the SDP moreover the majority of responses pointed to dissatisfaction with the Croatian political scene, which could be seen especially in the pandemic. The Croatian population believes that the overall actions of the Croatian Government and HDZ and SDP during the pandemic were not adequate timely or favorable for the population. Nevertheless, the problems on the political scene of the Republic of Croatia are far-reaching and are not exclusively related to the pandemic it only gave birth to the already existing inconsistencies and shortcomings of Croatian politics.
