Political conflict worsening: Charges of manipulation of the agenda and election of constitutional judges

The article discusses escalating political tensions in Croatia following a parliamentary session where a member of the ruling HDZ party accused opposition MP Možamo Sandra Benčić of calling them 'cattle' after she criticized the addition of a point on the agenda regarding the formation of candidates for the Constitutional Court. Benčić defended her remarks, stating she had no need to apologize to HDZ. HDZ members condemned her comments, with MP Nikola Mažar accusing her of expressing radical leftist views toward Croatian citizens. The dispute also involves disagreements over whether the agenda

Ne stišavaju se reakcije na istup saborske zastupnice Možemo Sandre Benčić, koja je nakon sjednice saborskog Odbora za Ustav vladajuće zastupnike nazvala "stokom". Sporna izjava uslijedila je nakon što je na dnevni red sjednice dodana točka o formiranju liste kandidata za Ustavni sud.

Benčić priznaje da je bila frustrirana, no smatra da se nema razloga ispričavati HDZ-u.

" Meni je žao što su građani to morali čuti , ali, kao što se sigurno većini građana kad to slušaju dogodi isto, dogodilo se i meni. Nemam se potrebe ispričavati HDZ-u ", poručila je.

Iz HDZ-a njezine su riječi oštro osudili . Saborski zastupnik Nikola Mažar tvrdi da je Benčić pokazala što doista misli o političkim protivnicima i njihovim biračima.

"Vidjeli smo lice bez maske koje je reklo što misli ne samo o HDZ-u, ne samo o 200 tisuća članova HDZ-a nego o svim hrvatskim građanima koji koriste svoje demokratsko pravo i daju povjerenje određenoj političkoj opciji. To je nastavak mišljenja radikalne i rigidne ljevice o hrvatskim građanima ", rekao je Mažar.

Spor oko dogovora o dnevnom redu

Dodatne prijepore izazvala je rasprava o tome je li dopuna dnevnog reda bila prethodno usuglašena s oporbom.

Predsjednik Odbora za Ustav Ivan Malenica tvrdi da je o tome unaprijed razgovarao sa SDP-ovim potpredsjednikom Odbora Sašom Đujićem .

"Dan prije sjednice kontaktirao sam potpredsjednika Odbora Sašu Đujića i izvijestio ga da ću dopuniti dnevni red kako bismo mogli nastaviti proceduru, odnosno razgovore s kandidatima, na što mi je rekao da nema ništa protiv toga i da ne vidi nikakav problem u tome", rekao je Malenica.

Đujić optužuje HDZ za manipulaciju

Takvu verziju događaja jučer je za Jutarnji list potvrdio i sam Đujić, poručivši da u dopuni dnevnog reda ne vidi ništa sporno. No danas tvrdi da nikakvu suglasnost nije dao te optužuje HDZ za manipulaciju .

"HDZ radi ono u čemu je najbolji – manipulira, izvrće, laže i podmeće. Pokušava posvađati nas kao koalicijske partnere. Ja nisam dao nikakvu suglasnost. Mene je, kao potpredsjednika Odbora, predsjednik Odbora izvijestio da će time dopuniti dnevni red. Što bi se dogodilo da sam rekao 'ne'? Mislite da oni to ne bi napravili?", poručio je.

Reakcije iz oporbe

Dio oporbenih zastupnika kaže da razumije Benčićinu frustraciju, ali smatra da takvom rječniku nije mjesto u javnom prostoru.

"Moramo voditi računa kako se ponašamo u javnom prostoru i to jednostavno nije dopušteno. Benčić treba biti ljuta i na jedne i na druge koji su dopustili dodavanje ove točeke na dnevni red. Ja sam uvijek više ljuta na svoje, jer od drugih očekujem, ali od svojih ne", rekla je Anka Mrak Taritaš .

Predsjednik IDS-a Dalibor Paus također smatra da reakcija nije bila primjerena.

"Mislim da to nije primjerena reakcija i na njezinu mjestu ja ne bih tako reagirao", rekao je, ali također dodao da frustraciju razumije .

Pukotine između SDP-a i Možemo

Desna oporba cijeli slučaj koristi kao argument da postoje nesuglasice između SDP-a i Možemo , iako predstavnici tih stranaka tvrde da je njihova suradnja stabilna.

"Vidimo da dolazi do pucanja unutar koalicije SDP-a i Možemo. Različiti stavovi Đujića i Bauka pokazuju nesuglasice, a bit će zanimljivo vidjeti kako će izgledati podjela plijena kada je riječ o ustavnim sucima", poručili su iz Mosta.

Novi krug pregovora o izboru ustavnih sudaca nije ni započeo, a već je izazvao nove političke sukobe. Unatoč prijeporima, vladajući očekuju da će izbor sudaca zaključiti prije odlaska Sabora na ljetnu stanku odnosno do 15. Srpnja.

Bencic returned to HDZ: This is another proof that they are afraid of us

Sandra Benčić, coordinator and parliamentary representative of the 'Možemo!' platform, accused HDZ members of spreading false information about her. She responded to HDZ member Nicole Mažar's claims that she is not a member of the Constitutional Committee and that she attended a session without being invited. Benčić provided evidence contradicting Mažar's statements and criticized HDZ for their alleged intentional misinformation.

Bias read (Left): The article presents a clear critique of HDZ, a center-right political party, accusing them of spreading falsehoods and manipulating information. The framing emphasizes the opposition's perspective, using strong language such as 'intentional lies' and 'PR-manipulated ease,' which align with left-lib

HDZ replied Bencic: If we are stoka, then it is SDP's Sasha Đuić

The Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) responded to Sandra Benčić of Možemo, who had referred to HDZ members as 'stoka' (cattle), by accusing her of using vulgar language and defending her statement as justified. Benčić clarified that she made the comment after HDZ submitted 17 candidates for the Constitutional Court without holding a discussion on the matter, which she criticized as an example of political behavior expecting others to remain silent.

Bias read (Right): The article frames HDZ's response as a defense of their actions and criticizes Benčić's language, suggesting a right-leaning perspective by emphasizing HDZ's position and portraying Benčić's comments as inappropriate rather than addressing the underlying issue of procedural transparency.

Bencic: Yeah, I said "all", it was HDZ.

Sandra Benčić (Možemo) confirmed on Facebook that she said 'stoko' (which translates to 'shame') during a session of the Parliamentary Committee for the Constitution, Statute, and Political System, referring to the HDZ party. The HDZ had previously posted a video clip showing Benčić approaching the camera before the word 'stoko' was heard. Benčić explained that her comment came after receiving 17 candidate proposals for judges of the Constitutional Court and a postponed debate. She criticized what she described as political manipulation and the underestimation of citizens.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a direct statement by Sandra Benčić confirming her remark and provides her explanation for it. It includes her critique of HDZ actions without overtly favoring either side. The framing remains neutral, presenting both the claim and the context without evident bias toward one政治立场

She explained this was a reaction to the process of selecting judges for the Constitutional Court, which she criticized as being conducted hastily and without proper transparency. Benčić expressed frustration with the government's handling of decisions and the perceived manipulation of citizens.

Bias read (Left): The article presents Benčić's statement as a direct criticism of the HDZ party and the government's actions, highlighting her frustration with the political process and the use of political power over citizens.
