🗑️ Dumping

The political landscape is shifting as the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and Možemo! have announced a new political alliance, outlining their joint goals for a future government and aiming to 'bring back hope'. This move signifies a consolidated effort from the opposition to challenge the current administration. Meanwhile, a new environmental investigation is underway concerning illegal waste dumping near the Sava River, a critical water source for Zagreb and Velika Gorica. This investigation links the activity to companies potentially responsible for environmental devastation. Adding to the domestic political tensions, the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) is grappling with outrage sparked by a controversial and widely criticized statement from its youth wing. Further domestic concerns include a statement from the Ombudswoman on the increasing risks of violence in society, particularly following recent school attacks. An investigative report also claims that the Constitutional Court's inaction allegedly shielded Prime Minister Andrej Plenković from potential embarrassment during an EU meeting.
