ZAGREB, 15 Dec 2021 - Several dozens gathered in St. Mark's Square in Zagreb on Wednesday morning to rally against COVID vaccines and the draft amendments of the Contagious Diseases Act, which the Croatian parliament is supposed to adopt later in the day.
The protesters rallied outside the government and the parliament to express their opposition against the vaccines against coronavirus.
One of the protesters shouted that she had not got vaccinated against that COVID disease and that she would not allow the immunization of her child with that experimental vaccine.
She also told media outlets and reporters not to label them anti-vaxxers.
"We are not rabbits and we do not want an experimental vaccine. We are here to protest against that," the protester shouted and her message was applauded by other demonstrators.
One in the crowd accused media outlets of twisting their messages.
During the peaceful protest, some of the demonstrators held hands and started praying.
They also had posters with messages appealing to the president to request the constitutionality of the amended law.
