In the wake of the Constitutional Court’s decision that Zoran Milanović is ineligible to be prime minister or head of government, reactions from politicians and constitutional experts have emerged. Among these reactions was a post by Darko Milinović, former HDZ minister of health and current president of the LiPo party. In his post, Milinović expressed his frustration with the decision, stating, “Who is stronger than any of the 76? You will not own my vote!!!”.
Milinović went on to criticize the Constitutional Court for its role in determining Milanović’s eligibility. He questioned the need for the decision to be repeated, as it was widely expected that Milanović had violated the Constitution. Milinović expressed disbelief that even if Milanović were to resign, he would still not be able to hold a mandate. He also criticized the Constitutional Court for making decisions that override Parliament and return the country to a state of uncertainty.
In his post, Milinović also expressed discomfort with the current state of Croatia and called on his political allies to react in defense of their homeland. He urged others to take action against what he saw as an interference in voters’ rights by the court. The post concluded with a plea for a return to decency and a rejection of any court interference in Croatia’s democratic process.
Overall, Milinović’s post reflects a sentiment of frustration and disbelief at the Constitutional Court’s decision regarding Zoran Milanović. He raises concerns about the implications for democracy and political integrity in Croatia.
