Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Josip Dabro, a leading member of a nationalist hard-right party, resigned on Saturday after a video surfaced of him shooting at random from a moving car.
The incident is the latest to trouble the government of conservative Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, whose health minister, Vili Bros, was dismissed in November to face a corruption probe.
“I hereby submit my irrevocable resignation,” Dabro posted on social media.
The 42-year-old was also agriculture minister in Plenkovic’s government.
The video, made public by the daily Jutarnji List earlier this week, shows him sitting in the passenger seat of a moving car, singing to loud music and firing a pistol into the dark.
Lights in the distance appear to show an inhabited area.
