Croatian Deputy PM resigns after video of shooting from car surfaces, adding to government troubles.
Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Josip Dabro, a leading member of a nationalist hard-right party, resigned on Saturday (January 18, 2025) after a video surfaced of him shooting at random from a moving car.
The incident is the latest to trouble the government of conservative Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, whose health minister, Vili Bros, was dismissed in November to face a corruption probe.
“I hereby submit my irrevocable resignation,” Mr. Dabro posted on Facebook.
The 42-year-old was also agriculture minister in Mr. Plenkovic’s government.
The video, made public by the daily Jutarnji List earlier this week, shows him sitting in the passenger seat of a moving car, singing to loud music and firing a pistol into the dark.
Lights in the distance appear to show an inhabited area.
“I am aware that these circumstances create an additional burden for the government and my party,” he wrote in his resignation statement.
