Last week’s arrest of a 72-year-old who said Plenković “should be welcomed with rotten eggs” when he came to Zadar and a 49-year-old for calling Plenković a “baboon” was a shameful acting out by “corrupt ruling structures alienated from the people” and an antidemocratic act, the MP said in a statement.
“Croatian citizens are justified, in their helplessness and exposed to arrogant powerful structures, in having the right to call for throwing rotten eggs at politicians.”
The ruling structures are openly breaking the law, getting rich illegally, corrupting the media, and running the judiciary, Vidović Krišto said.
She added that Plenković was “personally involved” in a “long list of corruption scandals,” that he “has HRK 5 billion in his account, yet the government has not rebuilt even one house either in Banovina or in Zagreb” after the 2020 earthquakes, and that he “is a symbol of incompetence and the anti-democratic state of affairs.”
The key political stakeholders, the key media, and the judiciary are insulting citizens on a daily basis by breaking the law, through tax plunder, and by destroying the health system, the MP said, asking “who will send Plenković and his supporters for police questioning for impoverishing Croatian citizens, destroying the legal system, and systematically emptying” Croatia.
