Možemo member released a video with insults, Dogan claims: 'This is an old recording, it was not directed at him'
A Zagreb city assembly session was marked by sharp debates where a video featuring insulting remarks by a representative was released, igniting further political controversy.
The recent session of the Zagreb City Assembly unfolded into heated debates and mutual accusations among representatives, particularly focused during a speech by Matko Dujmović of the Možemo platform. He posted a video on his Instagram showing offensive remarks made by opposition representative Dina Dogan, who insultingly commented during his presentation about the role of the Zrinjevac subsidiary in the Holding and issues with private contractors. Dujmović criticized Dogan for her behavior, suggesting her language and approach were unprofessional and distracting from the actual agenda.
In response to the accusations, Dina Dogan has defended herself by stating that the video is old and the comments were not directed at Dujmović personally. This claim intensifies the controversy, as Dujmović insists that her outburst was not only inappropriate but indicative of a larger issue within the Assembly's conduct. The incident brings to light the ongoing tension within the political landscape of Zagreb, where public debates are increasingly heated and personal attacks seem to overshadow substantive discussions.
Additionally, this episode highlights a growing concern over political decorum in Croatia, as both representatives grapple with public perception and accountability. Dogan's decision to file a criminal complaint suggests that tensions might escalate further, leading to increased scrutiny of public discourse among politicians. The incident calls into question how such confrontations can impact political discussions and the effectiveness of governance in the city.
