## Resource

Tens of thousands flooded Zagreb’s streets in outrage as Croatia grapples with a toxic waste scandal that’s turned into a national crisis—illegal dumping sites, confirmed PFAS contamination, and a government under fire. Since February, authorities uncovered a €4 million smuggling ring, but months later, not a single kilogram has been removed from Gospic, sparking accusations of criminal negligence. Residents demand immediate cleanup, halted imports, and accountability—while Prime Minister Plenkovic deflects blame, experts warn pollution could soon reach the Adriatic.
