Penava is preparing a new blow to Plenkovic: DP sets conditions for supporting the rebalance?
The opposition Domovinski Pokret (DP) is preparing amendments worth tens of millions of euros to the budget rebalance proposal for 2026, which they may condition their support on. Despite the failed no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Andrej Plenković’s government, tensions remain between the ruling HDZ and DP. The DP claims HDZ did not adequately consult them during the preparation of the budget rebalance, leading to dissatisfaction among DP members. According to a report by Ivan Pandžić for 24sata, the DP believes they should have been involved in discussions over fiscal priorities as a key coalition partner. Details of the proposed amendments are still unclear, but the DP insists that agreements on priorities should have been reached before submitting the rebalance proposal to the government. Meanwhile, some within HDZ suspect DP leader Ivan Penava is deliberately escalating tensions to prepare for leaving the governing coalition. The outcome of negotiations on the rebalance will determine whether HDZ accepts DP’s demands or if the conflict escalates further.

Milorad Pupovac, a member of the Croatian Parliament, commented on Ivan Penava's recent criticism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) and the media during a press conference. Penava accused the media of spreading 'hajduks' (provocations) against fans who shouted Nazi slogans and called for the return of Adolf Hitler in Split last week, and he strongly criticized the MUP. Pupovac responded by stating that Penava built his political career on attacking Serbs in Croatia and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković before joining the government, and now he has targeted the MUP and media. He suggested that Penava is pulling on a chain that is tied to him, but it remains unclear how long this will continue. Pupovac also implied that some MPs have crossed limits within the coalition and do not share the core values of the Homeland Movement (Domovinski Pokret).
