Tens of thousands marched in Zagreb demanding the urgent removal of more than 30,000 tonnes of illegally dumped hazardous waste near Gospic. Protesters accused Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic’s government of delay and concealment, while officials’ assurances of no contamination conflict with findings of elevated metals and PFAS in the area.
