Protesters greet PM Plenkovic in Petrinja for the anniversary of the 2020 quake
As he was arriving for a memorial service for the victims of the 2020 earthquake in Petrinja on Wednesday, PM Andrej Plenkovic encountered a large group of local residents who expressed their dissatisfaction with the slow reconstruction of the city and the Banija region.
The protest was organized by the Petrinja Spring civil society group, and the PM and his associates were met with shouts and catcalls, with protesters displaying banners calling for a faster reconstruction process.
“Where is our future?”, “We are still here, waiting”, “You can do better”, “Reconstruction has not begun”, “I love Petrinja”, and “We are not satisfied” were messages on some of the banners.
In their statements to the press, citizens expressed resentment at the slow pace of the reconstruction process in the city, heavily damaged by a magnitude 6.2 earthquake a year ago today.
