克罗地亚数万人周六在首都萨格勒布集会，要求政府立即清理中部城镇戈斯皮奇一处遗弃工业遗址上非法倾倒的有害废物1。据报道，被非法倾倒的废物约37,000公吨，自去年2月被发现以来一直未得到处理1。这批废物主要来自意大利、斯洛文尼亚和德国的进口，包含电子设备残骸、塑料、建筑材料和医疗废物1。
此事已引发严重的环境隐忧。土壤检测发现金属浓度升高，地下水中也检出PFAS污染物1。戈斯皮奇镇约有12,000名居民面临潜在风险1。去年2月，有13人因涉及非法倾倒被捕，非法所得至少达400万欧元1。
抗议者要求政府制定明确的清理计划并立即禁止废物进口1。参与集会的Vjekoslav Busic表示，"迄今为止的结果：没有一公斤有害废物从戈斯皮奇被清除"1。另一名抗议者Ivan Rittinger则称，"这不是悲剧。这是犯罪。"1此次集会已引发对保守派总理普连科维奇政府的批评，总理随后指控政治对手为政治目的煽动恐慌1。
Thousands of protesters gathered in Croatia's capital, Zagreb, on Saturday to demand urgent action from the government over an environmental crisis in the central town of Gospinac. 1 The demonstration was sparked by approximately 37,000 tons of illegally dumped hazardous waste that remains untreated at an abandoned industrial site since its discovery in February of the previous year. 1
The waste, which includes electronic waste remnants, plastic, construction materials, and medical waste, was imported primarily from Italy, Slovenia, and Germany. 1 Soil testing at the contamination site has revealed elevated concentrations of metals, while groundwater has been found to contain PFAS pollutants. 1 Gospinac, home to approximately 12,000 residents, faces mounting environmental and health concerns as the cleanup stalls. 1 Investigations into the illegal dumping operation resulted in the arrest of 13 people in February, with authorities uncovering illegal profits of at least 4 million euros. 1
Protesters called for the government to establish a clear cleanup plan and immediately ban waste imports. 1 Activist Vjekoslav Busic stated: "To date, the result has been: not a single kilogram of hazardous waste has been removed from Gospinac." 1 Ivan Rittinger, another protester, declared: "This is not a tragedy. This is a crime." 1 Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic dismissed the concerns, accusing political opponents of stirring up panic for political purposes. 1
