AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoToxic Waste Cleanup Protest: Tens of thousands marched through Zagreb in the “Walk for Lika, Walk for Croatia” rally, demanding urgent action over an illegal hazardous waste dump near Gospić in Lika. Protesters say more than 30,000 tonnes (est. 34,000–37,000) of buried industrial and medical waste—linked to imports from Italy and other EU countries—could threaten soil and drinking water, with prosecutors previously warning of significant health and environmental risk (even as local authorities say drinking water remains safe). They want a clear remediation plan, deadlines, and a temporary ban on further waste imports. Public Health Angle: The dispute centers on concerns about contamination from “forever chemicals” (PFAS) and elevated metals in groundwater and soil, keeping health fears at the heart of the demonstrations. Safety Enforcement: In Zagreb, police seized 15 high-powered e-scooters after a crackdown found riders violating rules on speed and power, alongside helmet and other traffic offences.
