Summary
Tens of thousands hit the streets in Croatia demanding urgent action after years of illegal hazardous waste dumping—mostly from EU countries—left soil and groundwater poisoned with toxic chemicals. Protesters, furious at Prime Minister Plenkovic’s government for inaction, accuse authorities of enabling an “eco-mafia,” while officials claim cleanup is underway despite no waste removed yet. With PFAS detected and residents reporting suspicious activity since last year, demonstrators chant for a clear plan with deadlines—and a halt to all imports—warning pollution could reach the Adriatic Sea.
