Because of the 'alkali' sparked between Bulya, HDZ and NL Dr. Jadrijević

The conflict between Sinj's mayor, Mira Bulj, and the HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union) and NL dr. Jadrijević's faction has escalated over the distribution of one-time cash payments ('alkarice') to retirees, unemployed individuals, and other social groups. The HDZ accused Bulj of illegally distributing nearly 200,000 euros in cash directly to recipients, violating a city council decision requiring such payments to be made via bank transfers through the Financial Agency (FINA). In response, members of the HDZ and NL dr. Jadrijević left a city council meeting, stating they would not participate in further humiliation of the council’s work. They criticized Bulj for acting unilaterally against council decisions and questioned the purpose of the council if the mayor could independently manage public funds. The HDZ also highlighted Bulj's alleged disrespectful behavior toward local officials and politicians, arguing that his actions during the city's most important celebrations, related to the 311th Sinj Alka festival and the Feast of the Virgin Mary, are inappropriate. Bulj defended his actions, claiming he ensured all eligible residents received their benefits, including those whose bank账户

HDZ: "We've been watching the days of Peace Bully all year.

The Croatian HDZ party has criticized Mayor Mira Bulj for allegedly illegally distributing nearly 200,000 euros in cash to retirees, unemployed individuals, and other social groups, bypassing the city council's decision to issue such payments via bank accounts or through the FINA system. The HDZ claims this action violates local regulations and undermines democratic principles by allowing the mayor to act unilaterally against council decisions. They expressed disappointment that these issues arose during the time of the 311th Sinj Alka festival and the celebration of the Virgin Mary, suggesting that the mayor's actions create unnecessary conflict.
