During the voting for the new Minister Alen Ružić, tensions flared between Marijana Puljak from the Centar party and Josip Dabra from the DP. Puljak accused Dabra of supporting revisionist views and criticized Prime Minister Andrej Plenković for leading a coalition that she believes glorifies dark periods of Croatian history. She stated that this vote is not just about the minister but reflects the stability of Plenković's government amidst concerns of increasing ideological divisions in Croatian society.

Puljak called for a moment of reflection, stating that after a decade of Plenković's governance, the true legacy is not economic growth but rather severe societal radicalization and ideological splits that were the worst in the last 30 years. Her remarks suggest a growing discontent with the political direction in Croatia and an urgent need for accountability and change in leadership. She framed the current situation as a critical test for Plenković, questioning whether he can maintain his coalition amidst these rising tensions.

In a dramatic conclusion to her speech, Puljak presented Dabra with a book aimed at addressing what she perceives as a lack of understanding about Croatia's history. Her sarcastic expectation that the book be read by Dabra’s husband indicates a dismissive attitude towards his political views, further heating the exchange. This incident underscores the intense political rivalries in Croatia and the challenges faced within the ruling coalition during pivotal moments.
