Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Resigns After Video Shows Reckless Gunfire

Josip Dabro stepped down following public backlash over a video of him firing a pistol from a moving car, intensifying scrutiny on the nationalist-led government.

Josip Dabro, Croatia's Deputy Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister, resigned after a video surfaced showing him firing a pistol from a car window during a nighttime drive.
The video, which shows Dabro laughing while shooting into a populated area, was widely criticized as irresponsible and dangerous.
Dabro belongs to the nationalist Homeland Movement party, a coalition partner in the current government led by Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
The incident has further damaged the credibility of Plenković's government, which recently suffered a significant electoral defeat in the presidential race.
Dabro announced his resignation on Facebook, stating that he did not want his actions to distract from the government's priorities or reforms.
