Flammable Object Thrown at HDZ Party Offices in Bjelovar

ZAGREB, 16 Dec 2021 - A flammable object was thrown at the offices of the HDZ party county branch in Bjelovar on Wednesday, and police are investigating the incident.

The party's county branch said its offices were also broken into and vandalized three days ago, calling on other political parties to condemn the incident and help defuse tension in society, which, "certain stakeholders knowingly incite with their radical rhetoric".

Police said the flammable device thrown at the party offices caused a soot stain on the building's facade.

The incident was condemned by the local Social Liberal Party (HSLS), a coalition partner to the HDZ party at the national level.

Croatian Public Health Institute Angered as Coronavirus Testing Point Egged

September the 24th, 2021 - The Croatian Public Health Institute has expressed its disgust and anger at a coronavirus testing point having its work made harder by vandals armed with rotten eggs.

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has tired almost everyone out. There are some people, however, who just can't resist causing damage to property in some sort of frustrated attempt at their own idea of justice. Egging something is a cheap (often free) and easy way to vandalise something, and it seems that it is no longer only for rebellious teens, although the maturity level in an adult who does do this is likely similar.

The Andrija Stampar Institute in Zagreb was vandalised with the use of pungent rotting eggs at some point last night, and the Croatian Public Health Institute has spoken out about the level of disrespect this shows to those who have been among the most engaged of all during the coronavirus pandemic in Croatia.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, upon arriving to their place of work this morning, which they likely thought would be much like any and every other morning, the employees of the Croatian Public Health Institute (the Dr. Andrija Stampar Institute in the heart of Zagreb), were greeted by an incredible sight at their coronavirus testing point. Namely, unknown vandals had filled up the container from which the tests for the novel virus are carried out with old, rotten eggs.

This information was confirmed to Jutarnji list by Zvonimir Sostar, who was naturally appalled by this act of vandalism.

''The stench caused by the eggs was unbearable, but now everything has been cleaned,'' stated an annoyed Sostar.

It's worth mentioning that there are no security cameras at this coronavirus testing point, so it will be difficult to establish who the perpetrators are, but according to Zvonimir Sostar, cameras will have to be set up after this incident.
