MP Zarko Tusek of the ruling HDZ asked on Friday why the opposition, since it was moving for a vote of no confidence in Economy Minister Tomislav Coric, was not also initiating the impeachment of President Zoran Milanovic, who also visited the private club of former JANAF CEO Dragan Kovacevic.

“This is the continuation of pointless and totally trivial political initiatives by the SDP which we saw in the previous term as well. This particular creativity of theirs evidently… hasn’t changed under the leadership of new president Pedja Grbin,” Tusek told the press, commenting on the opposition motion on Coric.

Lacking any serious programmes, strategies, political solutions, suggestions, help or solutions as to how to deal with the situation the state and society are in, they are preoccupied with totally trivial initiatives which make no sense and will only further unmask the poverty and emptiness of their politics, said Tusek.

“If the criterion for requesting a no-confidence vote in a minister is who drank with whom, who was with whom and who ate with whom, then I don’t see why they haven’t, using the same criterion, requested the impeachment of the president, who was also (in the club), eating and drinking there during the strictest lockdown in Croatia.”

The press remarked that was not the only reason why the opposition was asking that Coric be replaced and that the reasons included the Krs-Padjene wind park and Krka National Park.

Tusek said he was looking forward to a debate on that. Those arguments are totally pointless and Krs-Padjene go deeply into the establishment of the Zoran Milanovic cabinet, he added.

Commenting on the Homeland Movement party’s interpellation on the government’s work in connection with Krs-Padjene, Tusek said it was a very narrow document which mentioned public documents which “that interest group” could have requested any time. They would have received them, so this isn’t even an interpellation, he added.
