From day to day Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 continues to lie, believing that when a lie is told a hundred times it will become the truth. It won\u2019t. In an attempt to defend what cannot be defended \u2013 i.e. the election of Ivan Turudi\u0107 to the post of State Attorney-General \u2013 denies facts, violates laws, accuses others and is contrary to common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start with the facts that Plenkovi\u0107 denies, and on account of which Turudi\u0107 should never have even been nominated, let alone elected State Attorney-General because he is a man who doesn\u2019t even fulfil minimum conditions for the post. Turudi\u0107 is a person with no morals, a proven liar, a political junkie dependent on the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), minion of the underworld. As president of the Zagreb County Court, he secretly met with a man being investigated by that same court. As a judge he socialized and corresponded with a suspect of the Office for Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime (USKOK), disclosed information to her and negotiated concessions. He lied to the Croatian Parliament. And he has certainly done a lot more that is immoral, suspect and harmful to the state. What has already been mentioned is sufficient for him to be disqualified from the public call for the post of State Attorney-General. Plenkovi\u0107 knows all of this, he can hear and read, yet does nothing but persist in the dangerous intention to install such an obscure individual at the helm of the State Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In doing so, Plenkovi\u0107 is consciously violating laws that, with reason, prescribe that the person to be nominated and elected to the State Attorney\u2019s Office must have a background check. And they should, clearly, in order to prevent an immoral liar and partner of criminals such as the one Plenkovi\u0107 is nominating for this important post. The Law on the State Attorney\u2019s Council, the Law on the State Attorney\u2019s Office and the Law on Background Checks are clear and only Plenkovi\u0107 reads these laws as he wishes, and in fact violates them. Already in the first step, in the Public call of the State Attorney\u2019s Council it is clearly stated that a candidate that wants to be State Attorney-General but does not come from the State Attorney-General structure must attach a handwritten consent for a background check. Turudi\u0107 does not come from the State Attorney-General structure, therefore this refers to him as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why did Turudi\u0107 have to give a handwritten consent for a background check? In order for the background check to be carried out in a lawful manner. The State Attorney\u2019s Council has confirmed this now. After claiming for days that he requested a background check, Plenkovi\u0107 is presently affirming that he has no legal powers to request a background check for Ivan Turudi\u0107. The phony goes so far as to delete traces and evidence of his lies from the Government\u2019s official website, thinking that by deleting his claim that he requested a background check (which he did not), he made his second lie \u2013 that he cannot request a background check for Turudi\u0107 (which he can) \u2013 credible and accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Prime Minister of the Government that nominates the State Attorney-General to the Croatian Parliament, Plenkovi\u0107 not only can, is authorized \u2013 in accordance with the Law on Background Checks \u2013 but is obliged to request a background check for a candidate who himself, and we again stress, has given a handwritten consent to have a background check. It\u2019s very important to know consequently we underline: every background check is done for a specific office or post, and the content of the background check is adapted to it! Which means that a background check for a judge is not the same as a background check for the state attorney-general. Evidently a flawed and questionable background check for Turudi\u0107 as a judge in 2019, therefore it cannot substitute a background check for Turudi\u0107 as a candidate for State Attorney-General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is however clear why Plenkovi\u0107 did not want to request a background check now: because he wanted at all costs to hide the facts and information about Turudi\u0107, his late night sessions with Zdravko Mami\u0107, and especially his close encounters of a special kind with Josipa Rimac. A new background check would reveal that Turudi\u0107 never stopped socializing with the political and criminal underground, it would reveal all he has done after 2019. Because that new background check, by law, would have to be seen and read by the President of the Republic too so it would not be possible that important information about Turudi\u0107\u2019s socializing with persons under investigation would disappear from the background check. And all of that would be a serious security risk for Plenkovi\u0107 to nominate him and the Croatian Parliament to elect him State Attorney-General. By acting contrary to law, by avoiding his legal obligations to do a background check of his candidate for State Attorney-General, Plenkovi\u0107 has made the election of State Attorney-General illegal and, for that reason, Turudi\u0107 cannot assume the office of State Attorney-General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of withdrawing his unlawful attack on the State Attorney-General\u2019s Office \u2013 after receiving new information on Turudi\u0107 from the President of the Republic and the media that undoubtedly present a security risk for his election \u2013 Plenkovi\u0107 further sinks into the political mire and defends himself by attacking others, just like thieves always do, Plenkovi\u0107 now yells \u2013 catch a thief. Then he singles out the president of the Supreme Court because before being elected to that post a background check was not done. It is absurd to compare these two cases for a number of reasons. There is absolutely no similarity between Dobroni\u0107 and Turudi\u0107. Judge Dobroni\u0107 must not be put in the same sentence at all with, let\u2019s not forget, a person such as Turudi\u0107 without morals, a proven liar, a political junkie dependent on the HDZ and minion of the underworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, every judge does his job and makes his decisions based on documents that are always available to the prosecution and the defense alike, and judicial decisions are subject to the oversight of higher courts, including the European Court. The State Attorney-General is not accountable to anyone for his decisions, outside of the State Attorney\u2019s Office there is no oversight of the decisions made, as for example a decision as to who and why someone will be prosecuted and processed or, even more important, who and why someone will not be prosecuted and processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Out of obvious fear, Plenkovi\u0107 is hysterically also attacking the State Attorney\u2019s Office, the Office for Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime (USKOK), the State Attorney’s Council and all institutions that are stating facts and acting in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And here we come to the key question: what is Plenkovi\u0107 hiding? Besides hiding the truth that Turudi\u0107 is a person without any morals, a proven liar, a political junkie dependent on the HDZ and minion of the underworld, with the election of Turudi\u0107 Plenkovi\u0107 wants to conceal facts that could result in his criminal prosecution! Fearing his own prosecution is evidently the reason for such a hasty, defective, pre-election and unprecedented operation of a party\u2019s occupation of the State Attorney\u2019s Office. Ivan Turudi\u0107 has proven up to now that he is prepared to socialize with criminals. There is no doubt that he is prepared to protect them too. Already in his initial appearances, the new anointee of Plenkovi\u0107 attacked the European Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office which, let\u2019s remind you, launched investigations against two of Plenkovi\u0107\u2019s ministers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this reason Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 is bringing to the State Attorney\u2019s Office a man who is willing to stop any possibility of an investigation concerning AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 is wrong to think that the appointment of Turudi\u0107 is ad acta because uncovering crime and corruption is not and cannot be ad acta, given that other state institutions and ultimately citizens also have a say in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
