A political dispute has emerged in Split between Member of Parliament Marijana Puljak and City Councilor Davor Matijević. The conflict arose following Puljak’s comments regarding the National Day to Fight Violence against Women.

Puljak criticized the local ruling majority in Split, arguing that including a councilor who has been legally sanctioned for domestic violence institutionalizes such behavior. She specifically addressed Mayor Tomislav Šuta regarding Matijević’s involvement in the Hotel Zagreb repurposing project. 

Matijević defended his conduct, stating he had previously received a 260 euro fine for using profanity during a text message argument. He accused Puljak of using his private and family life for political purposes.
