The parliamentary debate on responsibility for illegally dumped waste turned into a fierce political clash, with the most prominent figure being Miro Bulj from Most, who was criticising HDZ and Možemo. At the centre of his criticisms were Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and the businessman Petar Pripaz. Bulj stated that behind the waste management issues lay connections between politics and the business sector, with HDZ and Možemo linked by the same businessman, Pribić.
Bulj recalled that Pribić had initiated a private lawsuit against him for defamation, a fact confirmed by the documentation of the Parliament's Rules and Immunities Committee. He placed this in the context of his party colleagues, including Zvonimir Trosk and Nikola Grmoj. He stated that Most would not cease from publicly naming individuals they believed were involved in waste-related business. He accused Sandra Benčić and Možemo of not being equally critical towards Pribić, attempting to portray HDZ and Možemo as two politically distinct options, though he claimed they were linked by the same businessman.
Bulsh presented the claim that approximately 1,700 trucks carrying approximately 45,000 tonnes of foreign waste had entered Croatia. He compared the issue to the strict border controls to which citizens are subject when attempting to cross the border with significantly smaller quantities of food or tobacco. He attributed political responsibility for the entire case directly to Andrej Plenković, whom he called the 'head of the waste mafia's tentacle'. He then further criticise Plenković regarding Andrija Mikulić and his previous political rise.
The response to Bulsh's claims came from HDZ's Ivan Katić, who accused Most of presenting untruths and serious allegations without evidence. The debate concluded with parliamentary reprimands. Sandra Benčić responded to Bulsh, stating that she had also been sued by Pribić, thereby dismissing his theory that Možemo was unwilling to publicly critique him. Benčić stated that Plenković was shifting responsibility for the illegal waste to the opposition, and that it was not accurate to say that during his visits to Lika he had not been warned about the issue. She cited previous warnings from the mayor of Gospić, Darko Milinović, and the civil initiative 'Gospić is our home'.
The debate is taking place over a motion by the opposition to recall Prime Minister Andrej Plenković due to cases of illegal waste dumping. The government rejects the accusations, stating that the remediation in Gospić is ongoing, while the opposition demands political and institutional responsibility for the way waste ended up in multiple locations across Croatia. During the day, the debate in the Croatian Parliament saw a sharp rebuke from the opposition, with the political linkage between the Možemo and SDP parties compared to Frankenstein's monster. The representative, Hrvoje Zekan, spoke sharply about the opposition, comparing the political linkage to Frankenstein's monster. Zekan addressed the assembly, stating that the combination of the two parties was akin to a monster. The speaker, Jandrok, interrupted Zekan's speech, issuing a reprimand for the use of the term 'monster', which was deemed inappropriate in the context of the debate.
