The Constitutional Court's decision to abolish the Health Education Curriculum has divided parliamentary parties - some support the decision while others claim that the ruling refers to a procedural error in introducing the curriculum which will be corrected. Croatian National People's Party (HNS) MP Igor Kolman said it was "sorrowful that such a quality programme was abolished with such a shabby excuse".
Kolman is convinced that with this decision the Constitutional Court has confirmed that it is a political body and he rejected the constitutional court judges' explanation that the state should have aligned lesson contents with the freedom of parents to choose their children's education.
Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) President Tomislav Karamarko said he welcomed the court's ruling and hoped that everyone would negate this incorrect approach and rape of parents and children, excusing himself for the harsh word he used.
Social Democratic Party (SDP) MP Rajko Ostojic, however, said the court had put the curriculum out of force but only temporarily due to an error in procedure.
Dragutin Lesar of the Labour Party said that it was "obvious that the government and Sabor in future would have to take more care with procedures as well as listening to and respecting the will of citizens be they organised or not".
