Ivona Grgurinović explains why Sunday's 'United Against Fascism' protests across Croatia are just the beginning of a larger movement.

This episode of 'Prvi glas' focuses on the upcoming 'United Against Fascism' protests in Croatia. Host introduces the topic and guest Ivona Grgurinović, an organizer from the initiative. Grgurinović outlines the rationale for the protests, citing specific examples of fascist activity over the past year, including the use of Ustaški salutes at a Thompson concert and by masked groups in Split and Zagreb. She describes the protests as a beginning to expose fascism and mobilize the 'quiet majority' of anti-fascist citizens. The guest clarifies that their work is political in the sense of everyday activism, not party politics, and mentions pro-Palestinian activism as an example. The discussion turns to practical details: the protest is a march from Zagreb's main train station to Ban Jelačić Square, with simultaneous events in Zadar, Rijeka, and Pula. Organization is horizontal, involving about 30 collectives, and funded by donations and a benefit event. Grgurinović addresses potential provocations, stating they rely on police protection. The host asks about the timing, linking it to the International Day of Solidarity with the People of Palestine. The conversation also covers the banned Thompson concert and his threats, with Grgurinović asserting that institutions should handle such matters. The episode concludes with logistical information and a promotional message for the podcast's subscription campaign.
