Croatian Parliament in chaos over YouTube videos

Today, the main oposition party in Croatian parliament (SDP - Social Democratic Party) walked out of Parliament after Mr. Ivica Kirina (Interior Minister) accused the SDP of publishing videos about him on YouTube.
The video clips in question were not doctored; they were just showing public appearances of Mr. Kirin with some funny (but not insulting) remarks.
The series of four videos were seen by 500,000 croats so far (we have a population of 4.5 million).
Today, we have a crisis of government because of four video clips published on YouTube.
