Dalija Orešković: Did Turudić keep quiet about the findings from Gospić so that the riot at the protest would not be bigger?

Dalija Orešković, a member of parliament, raised concerns on Facebook after the environmental organization USKOK published findings confirming that delayed waste in Varaždin permanently pollutes the environment, while the wild landfill in Divosel near Gospić has contaminated local groundwater with microplastics. The report highlights high concentrations of microplastics, heavy metals, and infectious pathogenic bacteria, posing direct threats to the environment. Tests conducted by the Institute for Waters 'Josip Juraj Strossmayer' confirmed significant levels of microplastics in groundwater beneath the Divosel landfill. Parallel investigations at the former Mundus factory site in Varaždin revealed the presence of harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, along with dangerous concentrations of heavy metals like copper, zinc, and lead, alongside high levels of microplastics. Orešković questioned whether the prime minister and his allies are deliberately misleading the public and called for accountability regarding potential criminal responsibility among top government officials.

Troskot: The government must declare an ecological emergency in Lika

Saborski zastupnik Mosta Zvonimir Troskot zahtijevao je da Vlada proglasi izvanredno ekološko stanje nakon što je Uskok objavio službeni nalaz koji potvrđuje onečišćenje podzemnih voda na području ilegalnog odlagališta u Divoselu kod Gospića. Rezultati testiranja ukazuju na prodor otpada u podzemni vodonosnik, što je potvrdilo predhodne upozorenja Troskota i drugih aktivista. Troskot je optužio gradonačelnika Gospića Darko Milinovića za lažne tvrdnje o onečišćenju, a istaknuo je potrebu za hitnim uklanjanjem otpada i detaljnom hidrogeološkom analizom. Troskot je također zahtijevao da se istraga o ekološkoj katastrofi proširi na institucionalne i političke stranke, premašivši samo neposredne počinitelje.

I have a message for Turudić as well.

A Croatian parliamentary representative from the HDZ party, Zvonimir Troskot, has called on the government to declare an extraordinary ecological emergency in the area of Lika following the release of official findings by the Institute for Water Research 'Josip Juraj Strossmayer'. The study confirmed contamination of groundwater at an illegal dumpsite in Divoselo near Gospić. Troskot argues that the situation has reached a critical point where further delay is unacceptable, and urgent action is needed to remove hazardous waste from affected areas. He criticized local authorities for previously dismissing concerns about pollution and now demands transparency and accountability, particularly from Chief State Prosecutor Ivan Turudić, who he believes must investigate whether institutional and political actors enabled this environmental disaster.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the issue as a crisis requiring immediate governmental intervention, emphasizing the failure of local authorities and calling for accountability. It uses strong language such as 'ekološka katastrofa' (environmental catastrophe), 'neposrednim počiniteljima' (direct perpetrators), '

Troskot: The government must declare an ecological emergency in Lika

Zvonimir Troskot, saborski zastupnik Mosta, traži da Vlada proglasi izvanredno ekološko stanje u Lici nakon što je Uskok objavio službeni nalaz o onečišćenju podzemnih voda na području ilegalnog odlagališta u Divoselu kod Gospića. Rezultati vještačenja pokazuju visoke razine polimerima u podzemnim vodama, što ukazuje na mogućnost širenja onečišćenja. Troskot ističe da su mjesecima upozoravali na opasnosti ostavljanja otpada na poroznom kršu, a sada traže hitno djelovanje za uklanjanje otpada i detaljnu hidrogeološku analizu. Također je uputio poruku glavnom državnom odvjetniku Ivanu Turudiću da istragu ne smije ograničiti samo na neposredne počinitele, već da istraži cijeli institucionalni i politički lanac koji je doprinijeo ekološkoj katastrofi.

After USKOK's findings, the government must declare an environmental emergency in Lika.

Following the official findings by the Institute for Waters 'Josip Juraj Strossmayer' confirming contamination of groundwater beneath an illegal waste dump in Divosel near Gospić, parliamentary representative Zvonimir Troskot of the Most party has called for urgent action. The report confirms that hazardous waste has penetrated underground water systems, posing serious risks to the environment and residents of Lika. Troskot emphasized that further delays would constitute deliberate exposure to danger and urged the government to declare an extraordinary ecological situation to expedite the removal of waste from multiple locations including Silos, Rakitovc, and Lički Osik. The findings show high concentrations of polymer particles in groundwater samples, linking surface waste to subsurface contamination. Troskot criticized the mayor of Gospić for previously dismissing concerns about groundwater pollution.

Bias read (Progressive): The article presents a strong critique of governmental inaction and emphasizes the need for immediate ecological intervention, aligning with environmental advocacy typically associated with leftist policies. It highlights the urgency of addressing environmental harm caused by corporate or industrial
