Chaos after the We Can! proposal on lawyers' pensions:

A proposal by the Možemo! party to increase pensions for war veterans who continued working after the Homeland War and are now entering retirement was debated in parliament but did not receive support. The proposal was criticized by HDZ representatives as incomplete and misleading, while Možemo! defended it as necessary to correct injustices. HDZ accused Možemo! of using populist tactics to divert attention from issues in Zagreb, while Možemo! accused HDZ of defaming and belittling veterans.

Siniša Hajdaš Dončić, predsjednik stranke SDP-a i koordinatorica stranke Možemo!, dao je jasnu poruku o tome da je koalicija s Možemo! čvrsta i da nema nikakvih ozbiljnih prijetnji. U petak, na konferenciji za novinare, Hajdaš Dončić odbacio je tvrdnje ministrice zdravstva Irene Hrstić, koja je tvrdila da je suradnja ove dvije oporbene stranke pod povećalom. "Moja poruka je jasna, naša koalicija je čvrsta, a uskoro ćemo dodati još malo aditiva da bude još čvršća," rekao je Hajdaš Dončić. Naglasio je da su Sandra Benčić i on poznati 30 godina, da se potječe iz istog kraja i da je to ne samo političko prijateljstvo. "Nema ničeg što će tu koaliciju ugroziti, dok meni živo srce bije," poručio je.

Sandra Benčić, koordinatořica stranke Možemo!, optužila je ministricu Hrstić da uhodi Možemo! i SDP. "Ona, umjesto da se bavi svojim resorom, dolazi danas u Pulu baviti se Sinišom i sa mnom. Mislim da je njeno radno mjesto, za koje je plaćena kao dio izvršne vlasti - negdje drugdje i raditi nešto drugo, a ne 'stalkat' konferencije za novinare Možemo! i SDP-a. Ministrice, ako treba pomoći u slaganju dnevnih zadataka za Ministarstvo zdravstva, mi ćemo vam rado pomoći," kazala je Benčić. Ove tvrdnje su bile dio šireg kontesta između dviju stranaka, koji je nastavio i u daljnjim događajima.

U nedjelju, stranka Možemo! pozvala je saborske zastupnike da podrže njezine prijedloge izmjena zakona kojima bi se povećale mirovine hrvatskim braniteljima koji su nakon Domovinskog rata nastavili raditi i u mirovinu otišli prema Zakonu o mirovinskom osiguranju. Saborski zastupnik Možemo! Damir Bakić objasnio je da će se idućeg tjedna u Saboru raspravljati i glasati o dva prijedloga izmjena zakona kojima su regulirane braniteljske mirovine. "Intencija je naših prijedloga da se povise mirovine onih branitelja koji su nakon sudjelovanja u Domovinskom ratu nastavili raditi i otišli u mirovinu iz rada," rekao je Bakić. Istaknuo je da među braniteljima umirovljenicima postoje dvije skupine – oni koji su umirovljeni prema Zakonu o hrvatskim braniteljima i članovima njihovih obitelji te oni koji su nakon rata nastavili raditi i ostvarili mirovinu prema Zakonu o mirovinskom osiguranju.

Pozivajući se na podatke Hrvatskog zavoda za mirovinsko osiguranje, Bakić je naveo da u Hrvatskoj ima ukupno 1,23 milijuna umirovljenika, od kojih 942.917 prima mirovinu izračunatu prema Zakonu o mirovinskom osiguranju, uz prosječnu mirovinu od 645 eura i 31 godinu staža. Istodobno, oko 72.400 branitelja koji su mirovinu ostvarili prema posebnom zakonu primaju prosječno 1.409 eura uz prosječno 18,8 godinu staža, dok 68.361 branitelj koji je mirovinu stekao iz rada ima prosječnu mirovinu od 645 eura, odnosno na razini opće populacije umirovljenika. Bakić smatra da je razlog tomu činjenica da branitelji koji odlaze u mirovinu prema Zakonu o mirovinskom osiguranju nemaju pravo na dodatak na mirovinu od 27 posto, koji se primjenjuje od 2010. godine. Možemo! stoga predlaže povećanje polaznog faktora za izračun mirovine tim braniteljima s jedan na 1,25, što bi, prema njihovim procjenama, značilo povećanje mirovina za oko 20 posto.

U subotu, Hajdaš Dončić, na sjednici Glavnog odbora SDP-a, poručio je da je SDP prestao biti administrator nostalgije i ponovno postao kreator i vizionar budućnosti. "Prošlo je pet mjeseci od naše Konvencije na kojoj smo otvorili teme skraćivanja radnog tjedna, novu industrijsku politiku, prekarijat i novu poreznu politiku. Moralo je proći pet mjeseci da skraćivanje radnog vremena postane tema o kojoj se govori u hrvatskom društvu, od tržnica do analitičara, i to je put SDP-a koji je puno teži i zahtjevniji od drugih političkih stranaka," poručio je Hajdaš Dončić. Nada se da će ta i ostale teme koje su otvorili uskoro biti teme i u Hrvatskom saboru. "To je ispravno za bolju Hrvatsku koja definitivno može biti bolje mjesto za život i mogu se složiti da Hrvatska raste, ali je pitanje koja je brzina tog rasta i jesmo li iskoristili deset milijardi eura europskih sredstava da promijenimo strukturu hrvatskog gospodarstva," ustvrdio je.

Napomenuo je da je izbor ustavnih sudaca također potvrdio da je SDP-ov put ispravan jer svi znaju, kaže, da taj model izbora nije dobar. "Pokušali smo u dijalogu, neovisno o identitetu kandidata, doći do najbolje trojice koje smo htjeli izabrati, a onda se pokazalo da netko to ne želi, da nekome to nije u interesu i onda, rekao je Hajdaš Dončić, dolaze do završnog čina operete gdje čak onaj koji predlaže tri ustavna suca ne glasa za njih." "Ponovno pokazujem da je put SDP-a put odlikaša, i to je opravdano jer naši simpatizeri i birači su zahtjevniji. Za nas ne vrijede pravila za dobar-tri, za nas uvijek vrijede pravila za odličan-pet i s tim se moramo znati nositi svaki dan," poručio je.

Osvrnuo se i na ključne zamjerke SDP-u koje postoje u javnom prostoru – da SDP nema ljude, da nema program i da je SDP-ov predsjednik potkapacitiran. Opovrgnuo je to podacima po kojima su se u zadnje dvije godine SDP-u pridružili admiral Robert Hranj, bivši dekan FER-a Gordan Gledec, profesori s Pravnog fakulteta Zlata Đurđević i
