After news from Hungary that the First Deputy Prime Minister Radimir Čačić has been sentenced to one year and ten months in prison for a traffic accident with fatal consequences from January 2010, the question arises as to what impact this will have on the stability of the country.
-This development is catastrophic from several aspects: for the Government, this is catastrophic news because Čačić is the only one who had a development concept in mind and because all projects with development potential are personally linked to him, and if he has to go to prison, it is clear that he cannot remain in the Government.- commented political analyst Davor Gjenero on the news that First Deputy Prime Minister Radimir Čačić was sentenced today at the Hungarian court in Kaposvár to one year and ten months in prison for a traffic accident with fatal consequences from January 2010.
Gjenero notes that there is also the question of the impact on HNS: Will Vesna Pusić take over the leadership of the party, will internal party elections be held?
-This news can also bring instability to the party, emphasizes Gjenero, who still believes that no matter how much cumulative damage the departure of the First Deputy Prime Minister to prison brings, it will not topple the Government.
Prime Minister Milanović did not want to comment on the Hungarian court’s decision that Radimir Čačić must go to prison in two months. The question was posed to him by Croatian Labour Party representative Branko Vukšić during the current morning session, and the Prime Minister replied:
-At this moment, unfortunately, I cannot comment on that. The answer would be hypothetical. When I have accurate information, I will have a comment- said the Prime Minister.
