N1 HrvatskaIndependentProgressiveFactual 75Objective 45yesterday The Inn at the End of All ThingsThe article discusses the outcome of an extraordinary session of the Croatian Parliament regarding the issue of illegally dumped hazardous waste in Gospić, which lasted 18 hours and concluded late into the night. The ruling majority, centered around the HDZ party, rejected all four conclusions proposed by President Zoran Milanović, who had called for an emergency session, but passed eleven of their own resolutions. These resolutions were largely symbolic, using phrases like 'we accept as known' or 'we condemn,' without offering concrete solutions. The article criticizes the government's lack of action, noting that Croatia has lacked a chief state inspector for nine months and that Prime Minister Andrej Plenković has shown indifference toward the issue, stating 'We haven’t set a deadline, we’re estimating.' The piece highlights the perceived inaction of both the president and prime minister, as well as the dismissive attitude of the political elite towards local activists and concerns raised by the community.
