Bartulica addressed the lengthy coalition agreement in other countries, such as Germany’s 177-page agreement. He acknowledged that reaching an agreement will take time and cannot be done quickly. Bartulica also expressed that he does not expect the new government to be voted on Friday as the process will take longer due to the constitution of Parliament.
When asked about potential changes in the coalition agreement, Bartulica stated that he couldn’t answer hypothetical questions but emphasized that he would vote according to his conscience. He also addressed Prime Minister Andrej Plenković’s statement about not having an investigation into the pandemic, asserting that transparency in government is essential.
Bartulica welcomed Plenković’s statement on gender ideology and hoped that his proposals, like amending the Law on State Registries, would be considered in the future. He also mentioned the initiative for a museum on totalitarian regimes and expressed optimism for ongoing negotiations with the HDZ.
In response to claims about being an American spy, Bartulica dismissed them and raised concerns about his safety. He also discussed the funding of “Novosti,” emphasizing the importance of public criticism and transparency in a liberal democracy.
Bartulica urged for clarity and dignity in negotiations with the HDZ while highlighting citizens’ need to know what’s going on. He emphasized following through on promises made to the public while maintaining transparency throughout negotiations.
