This thesis analyzes the rhetoric of participants in televised debates during the parliamentary elections in Croatia in 2024, with a particular focus on the use of verbal and non-verbal communication. The importance of rhetoric, which dates back to ancient Greece, remains relevant today. In a year marked as a “super-election” year, with parliamentary, European, and presidential elections taking place, good rhetorical skills and well-executed televised debates can play a crucial role in securing victory for a particular political option. Given the challenging global circumstances and polarized social views, effective political communication and successful campaign management have become priorities for all political actors. With the power of modern media, the rapid dissemination of information, and the ability for every voter to become well-informed, the margin for error in public appearances by politicians is significantly reduced. The research results show that representatives of political parties employed different rhetorical strategies during the debates, depending on their political goals and positions. Opposition parties, such as SDP, Možemo!, Most, and DP, predominantly used attack strategies, while representatives of HDZ employed defensive strategies to highlight their achievements and minimize criticism. The conducted research provided answers to how party representatives aim to leave a better impression on viewers, which issues generate the most debates, and how opponents are discredited. The general conclusion of the paper is that the performances of political representatives did not significantly deviate from the achieved results. Additionally, the research indicated that well-argued debates between political actors of different ideological orientations and party affiliations are possible, which can ultimately influence undecided voters.
