Members of the political party Most in Rijeka have announced their exit from the ruling majority due to failures to resolve issues surrounding the health education curriculum. They stated that the protection of children is a line they cannot and will not cross, leading to the withdrawal of unconditional support for the mayor, Iva Rinčić. This decision came as a result of previous months of dialogue and attempts to reach an institutional resolution on the matter, which has emerged as a significant point of contention in local politics.

The party emphasized their commitment to supporting transparent governance and data-driven policies, especially concerning municipal systems. They argue that public systems should be managed professionally with clearly defined processes and responsible resource management. Most's withdrawal indicates a significant shift in the local political landscape, highlighting increasing tensions between differing educational philosophies and political factions within the city council.

The implications of this decision may lead to potential political instability in Rijeka as the city approaches budget discussions, with Most declining to support the budget proposal or any potential budgetary rebalance until the issues regarding the health education curriculum are resolved. Such a stance may force other council members to reconsider their alliances and strategies moving forward, further complicating the political environment in the region.
