The opposition Social Democratic Party has launched impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Ivan Turudić, whom they describe as a tool of the Prime Minister. The ruling HDZ party has responded by calling the move a dangerous precedent. The dispute comes as the Prime Minister faces separate criticism from the NGO Gong for using the government's official website to attack political opponents, a practice commentators suggest is blurring the line between the state and the ruling party.
The Catholic Church has also entered the national conversation, with Archbishop Mate Uzinić condemning the "Nazi-like behavior" of the Torcida football fan group. The Archbishop urged fans to understand the crimes of the ideology, though he cautioned that condemnation should not be used as a vehicle for new hatred.
While global markets move toward electric vehicles, new data shows the local market remains at the bottom of the European Union for adoption. The news for the domestic budget is little better: a new analysis suggests some households could see heating costs quadruple this season. Separately, police in Zagreb are investigating a targeted attack on six Indian citizens who were beaten with iron rods.
