Croatian ultra-nationalist mega-gig exposes divided society
Croatian nationalist singer Thompson's mega-gig in Zagreb highlights deep societal divisions over historical interpretations and symbolism. The controversial chant "Za dom, spremni" used at the concert, linked to a Nazi-era group, has sparked outrage among opposition parties and human rights organizations. While some defend it as a symbol of freedom, others view it as a fascist slogan, reflecting ongoing tensions over Croatia's past and nationalist sentiments in the country.
