"It is interesting that many media condemned the action of the member of parliament, accusing him of political populism, or ridiculed his performance: “Bulj played the sheriff again” or: “Bulj lined up bathers at the spring of Cetina.” Those who object to the member of parliament actually resemble the wolf from Aesop’s Fables, who accuses the lamb of muddying his water even though he is drinking downstream.

One in Cetina

Interestingly, the same media, at the same time, supported protests against the construction of a mini-hydroelectric plant at the source of the Una River. Vrelo Una is located only 50 kilometers north of Veliki vril and is also protected as a hydrological monument of nature. The same (justified) demands for the protection of the source of the river Una by environmental associations, led by the songs of Darko Rundek, were enthusiastically presented to the public as the last straw of salvation.

In other words, media perception and presentation of environmental protection depends on the pedigree of self-proclaimed nature guardians. If MP Miro Bulj protects the source of the river, it is a masquerade, if singer Mile Kekin and actor Rade Šerbedžija do the same, it is a green action with pure intentions. Bathers (and ditch diggers) at the source of Una are an ecological incident, and partygoers at the source of Cetina, well, they are a naughty tourist attraction."

The double criteria of the Croatian media (or the media operating in Croatia) do not surprise anyone in Croatia, but the fact that they are very often disgusting – they are.

  1. Hrvatski mediji su smeće, ali postoje jasne razlike između dvije situacije. Bulj je kao čelnik jedne jedinicie lokalne samouprave (Sinj) došao u drugu (Civljane) i glumio da ima nekakve ovlasti. Čak je i zabio nekakvu tablu “Zabranjeno plivanje” što je nezakonito jer je postavljanje takvih znakova u domeni jedinice lokalne samouprave i regulira se odlukama nadležnih tijela (Komunalac). Ono što je rađeno na Uni je bila građansko-politička akcija u formi prosvjeda na što svako ima pravo. Da je Bulj došao na vrelo Cetine sa Mostovcima, sa transparentima i letcima to bi bila potpuno drugačija situacija od onoga što se dogodilo. Što se tiče medija, naravno da su pristrani, ali tu nema pomoći, vlasnička struktura određuje stavove medija.
