We will all unite against the sowers of chaos, who only want to destroy our institutions and prevent those who peacefully express their demands from doing so. President Emmanuel Macron stated that there is "no place for violence" in France. #Francuska #prosvjedi #nasilje (translated)

Borut Rončević wrote that following the announcement of a comprehensive reform of education, he experienced increasing political and media pressure. He described the story about airline tickets as an attempt to discredit the responsible minister and a political showdown, but added that ministers are obliged to explain the use of public money. According to him, information about the travel habits of previous governments shows that the current outrage is not due to concern for public finances, but rather opposition to the reform. Rončević believed that unions and the educational establishment had too much influence on education policy in the past. He attributed a legitimate role to unions in representing employees, but said their influence should not include veto power over the substantive direction of the reform. He also claimed that the educational establishment had harmed the system in the last three decades by following a progressive ideology. Regarding the left and the Left, he wrote that they sought ideological hegemony primarily through the fields of education and culture. He emphasized that in preparing the reform, teachers, principals, parents, students, researchers, local communities, and the economy are involved, while unions should participate in discussions about salaries, working conditions, and employee rights. In his view, those politically responsible should decide on the direction of changes based on data and professional analyses. As ten starting points for the reform, he listed a greater emphasis on knowledge, high standards, the development of students' potentials, work ethic, patriotic and civic education, ideological neutrality, the authority of teachers, early literacy, digital and other knowledge for the future, and broader responsibility in shaping school policy. Rončević announced the relocation of the ministry to Novo mesto, a reduction in the number of employees, and strict limitations on remote work. He stated that the success of the reorganization should be measured by faster responses, timely resolution of issues, lower costs, clearer distribution of responsibilities, and user satisfaction. He wrote that the reform has the support of a broader public, parents, teachers, and the coalition, according to the data he presented. He expected even more pressure, including media publications, reports to the Commission for Prevention of Corruption, criminal charges, petitions, and interpellations, and announced that he would not abandon or soften the changes because of them. #reformaizobraževanja #javnofinanciranje #politika (translated)

After the Torcida's cortege where slogans like 'crush, crush, crush the Jews', 'Auschwitz, Auschwitz', 'rise Adolf' and 'let's go, let's go Ustashas' were chanted, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Davor Božinović will: a) say that the atmosphere was spectacular? b) wonder as if surprised by where Ustashism and fascism suddenly appeared on the streets? c) warn Prime Minister Plenković that these are the consequences of his double meanings? d) admit that all the black-shirt gatherings and the chanting of 'for the homeland ready', including those in concert halls and stadiums which the HDZ government has fervently supported in the past year and a half, served to promote the ideology of Ante Pavelić and Adolf Hitler? e) let the institutions do their job and allow the boys in black to cry in court that they didn't know whom they were invoking and what their chanting means? f) invite Josip Dabro to sing at the next HDZ conference and return to the government? g) at an extraordinary press conference, say that the left opposition wants to bring back communism and Yugoslavia? What do you think?" Orešković asked. #torcida #antisemitizam #ustaštvo (translated)

The representative Sandra Benčić accused Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of not telling the truth about dangerous waste in Gospić, claiming that the competent authorities were already aware of the seriousness of the situation in 2024, and that because of this he no longer deserves the trust of the citizens and must go. #Gospić #SandraBenčić #opasniotpad (translated)

"As for the calls for my resignation – governments change through democratic elections. Last year we had elections, not a revolution," Rama wrote in a response to the Reuters news agency. "Attacks on institutions, the destruction of public property, and endangering public safety have nothing to do with the legitimate demands of students," he said. #Protesti #Albanija #Tirana (translated)

Asta Vrečko wrote that in her opinion, after every defeat, SDS declares the elections to be stolen, blaming Milan Kučan, the DVK, and others. She added that SDS and Janez Janša do not know how to accept defeat with dignity and that institutions and courts are considered good only when it benefits Janša. She believed that Janša, despite the salary and pension he allegedly receives at the expense of taxpayers, does not respect the democratic will of the citizens. She labeled the threats and attack on the DVK as an attempt to transform the commission into an authority subordinate to one person, and as a near announcement of a coup against the institutions of the rule of law. #SLOpolitika #demokracija #pravnaDržava (translated)

Plenković has become the architect of a system in which institutions do not serve the people. We will not silently watch as the dignity of this country is trampled, which is why we will call for a recall as long as it takes. SDP's Mihael Zmajlović assessed that the case in Gospić is not an isolated incident, but a consequence of the way the country is managed, warning of problems in healthcare and the social system, the poverty of retirees, the inaccessibility of affordable housing, and the collapse of trust in institutions. #Plenković #opozicija #Gospić (translated)

"Aggression and lack of culture. This is a pure quasi-campaign, you will lose the elections again." Plenković responded after the opposition fled: "Aggression and lack of culture. This is a pure quasi-campaign, you will lose the elections again." #Gospić #opoziv #institucije (translated)

I agree that one case should not bring down the Government, but this is not just one case. Gospić is the trigger, the cause is the disintegration of the country," emphasized Hajdaš Dončić in the Croatian Parliament during the explanation of the SDP's request to initiate a vote of confidence for Prime Minister Andrej Plenković due to illegal waste dumps. #Gospić #opoziv #institucije (translated)

- He chose a man who undermines the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, insults Bosniaks and Muslims, openly subverts the institutions of the state, acts against its interests, and proudly works for Russia and its interests, doing so under direct orders from Putin - said Konaković. #BiH #Konaković #Čović (translated)

He chose a man who undermines the constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina, insults Bosniaks and Muslims, openly undermines the institutions of the state, acts against its interests, and proudly works for Russia and its interests, under direct orders from Putin. It is obvious that Čović does not have to explain to his voters why such a strategic partnership suits him. Apparently, he does not have to explain it to the official Zagreb either, Konaković noted. #BosnaiHercegovina #DraganČović #ElmedinKonaković (translated)
