Zeci de mii de persoane au protestat în Croația din cauza a 37.000 de tone de deșeuri depozitate ilegal în apropierea orașului Gospić

Thousands protested in Croatia demanding urgent action to remove illegally dumped waste near Gospić, fearing health and environmental impacts. The issue arose after 13 arrests related to hazardous waste importation. Despite ongoing investigations, around 37,000 tons of waste remain buried, including electronic and medical waste. Activists call for a concrete cleanup plan and an end to waste imports. Authorities claim tests show no contamination, but experts warn of potential pollution spread due to the region's geography. Protesters emphasized their right to clean air, water, and soil, urging swift government intervention.
