Excessively subjective "Early Life" edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The early life section has a fair bit of wording that is quite strong and can be construed as political. A more neutral recounting should prevail until someone can substantiate these sentences:

"Her first years were spent in the city of Sarajevo where her father was assigned to practise medicine by Yugoslav Titoist authorities"

As someone familiar with education policy in Yugoslavia, I can assure you there was no such thing as "being assigned to practise medicine" in Yugoslavia. I don't know how to "prove a negative" in this context, but a look at the sections on the socialist period for Yugoslavia's main universities, University of Belgrade, University of Sarajevo. As such, until someone can substantiate this claim, I believe it should be reworded more neutral.

"in order to circumvent the strict exit rules in Yugoslavia and get his family out of the country."

Again, this is a misrepresentation. Yugoslavia was not the Soviet Union, and one did not have "strict exit rules" that needed circumventing in order to get higher education in another country if so desired. Yugoslav passport. Until someone substantiates this, it should be reworded more neutral.

I do not have access to the book that is cited as the only citation for this paragraph, so I cannot verify if this is even how Mulroney describes his wife's life. The points above still stand.
