Bozhinovic replied to Penava

Croatian Interior Minister Davor Božinović responded to comments made by Ivan Penava, a member of the ruling coalition and leader of the Homeland Movement, regarding the police's practice of publishing photos of suspects. Božinović defended the procedure as legally mandated under the Criminal Procedure Act, stating that it is standard to publish photographs of suspects or use photo composites if images are unavailable. He emphasized that the police act in accordance with the law and criticized what he called hypocrisy and political opportunism. Božinović also mentioned situations where significant police resources are used to manage conflicts between groups, such as separating 500 fans who had agreed to fight. Meanwhile, Milorad Pupovac, a parliamentary representative, commented on Penava’s recent criticism of the police and media, suggesting that Penava has shifted his focus from attacking Serbs and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković to targeting institutions like the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the media.

Pavliček called Penava: 'Be a dude and get out of the current government'

Marijan Pavliček, leader of the Croatian Sovereignists and mayor of Vukovar, publicly criticized Ivan Penava, president of the Homeland Movement, for criticizing the government in which his party participates while remaining part of it. Pavliček accused Penava of wanting to maintain his party's positions in the government while simultaneously presenting himself as a critic of it. He called on Penava to resign from the government if he wished to criticize it freely, using the phrase 'be a coward and leave the current government.' This comes after Penava criticized the media and the Ministry of Internal Affairs over their reporting on incidents involving part of the Torcida fan group before a match between Hajduk and Ajax.

Pavlichek on Penava: Pure cowardice and hypocrisy

Pavliček accused Penava of hypocrisy, stating that one cannot be part of the government and simultaneously criticize it. He argued that Penava wants to be the 'moral pillar' of the government while retaining three ministers, state secretaries, and members of boards of state companies.
