We believed that at least minimal standards of respect for women in public discourse had been reached, and we especially expected that the newly elected Government, in which the parties previously (as well as us and the public) always reacted violently to the discriminatory and sexist outbursts of HDZ members (the case of \u0160eks against Gordana Sobol; the case of Milinovi\u0107 against Vesna Pusi\u0107, for example), would promote public behavior in which the interlocutors are not belittled and belittled just because they are of the female sex\/gender. Someone&#039;s (permanently present, even) nervousness in dealing with others cannot be any justification in this regard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Ms. Mirela Holy is a doctor of science, an excellent politician and an exceptionally competent Minister of the Environment who fights for true values, and no one should ever address her in the way Radimir \u010ca\u010di\u0107 did. He may think he has the biggest and smartest head in the world privately, but in public he must treat everyone with equal respect. We know that Minister Holy&#039;s head and brains are at least as valuable as his.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We expect your reaction and a public apology from Deputy Prime Minister Radimir \u010ca\u010di\u0107 to Minister Hola and all citizens who were shocked by his inappropriate behavior towards his colleague from the government.<\/p>\n<p>With respect,<\/p>\n<p>Sanja Sarnavka<\/p>\n<p>President of the organization<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VLADA REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE ZORAN MILANOVI\u0106 PREDSJEDNIK VLADE Zagreb, 8. velja\u010de 2012.&nbsp; Po\u0161tovani gospodine predsjedni\u010de Vlade Republike Hrvatske, Unato\u010d posvema\u0161njoj posve\u0107enosti Vas i&nbsp; Va\u0161e Vlade pitanjima prora\u010duna te procjenama mogu\u0107nosti zadr\u017eavanja postoje\u0107eg, iako slabog, financijskog &nbsp;rejtinga, kao i nu\u017enim reformama koje bi nam svima trebale donijeti boljitak, \u017eelimo Vas upozoriti na nu\u017enost Va\u0161eg javnog reagiranja na [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1063,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","slim_seo":{"title":"SMIJE LI POTPREDSJEDNIK VLADE TAKO RAZGOVARATI S JEDNOM MINISTRICOM? - babe.hr","description":"VLADA REPUBLIKE HRVATSKE ZORAN MILANOVI\u0106 PREDSJEDNIK VLADE Zagreb, 8. velja\u010de 2012.&nbsp; Po\u0161tovani gospodine predsjedni\u010de Vlade Republike Hrvatske, Unato\u010d posv"},"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1061"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1062,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1061\/revisions\/1062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/babe.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
