A dispute with the law in Croatia took the debate to an unexpected level.

What happened? Croatia will appoint the new head of the Supreme Court, but the decision has sparked controversy between President Zoran Milanovic and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic. The president announced the law professor as his candidate for the Supreme Court, but she was rejected by parliament. On Thursday, Croatian Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic made a third public appeal to the Supreme Court.

But what does this have to do with swimwear? Prompted by the controversy, the president labeled the speaker of parliament a "common, muscle-free harasser."

It was these words of the president that generated a direct viral response from Jandrokovic on social media.

"Since Clown Milanovic accused me of being a muscleless bully and since I'm in favor of an argumentative debate, I'm attaching evidence," he said. "I'm not a bully and judge the muscles yourself," he added.

The photo was widely circulated in Croatia and many social media users commented that the country's politics had dropped to an unexpected level.

Marijana Puljak, an MP from the liberal Pametno party, also posted a 1996 photo on Facebook. The image shows the rounded belly of the pregnancy. "We do not have muscles, but the stomach of someone with a child and someone who drinks beer," she said.
