The 58-year-old singer is controversial because of his right radical repertoire. Observers are afraid that even more than 500,000 Thompson followers flow into the Croatian capital, which is 800,000 serious efforts for the city. In the worst case, they are afraid of the collapse of traffic, public safety and the lack of space in medical institutions.
Not everyone who arrives at the concert is right, radical fans. Many young Croats do not want to miss such an “event” and travel to Zagreb.
But the frame is installed. And therefore, not only the slogans of the Croatian fascists from the Second World War are expected, but also an attack on disagreements. The Croatian police and security forces are looking forward to mixed feelings.
Democratic Zagreb
Since Zagreb celebrates the left -handed green, its mayor Tomislav Tomashevich is committed to democracy and sees himself in the tradition of the “bourgeois” of Zagrebs. It is part of the Left Green Alliance of the Croatian Party (“we can”), which means the rule of law, against nationalism and autocracy.
Even the opposition in the city is only a small mass of chauvinistic rights. Permovich, on the other hand, changed from the defender of the patriotic state of the 1990s, when Serbian troops occupied a third of Croatia for a tough nationalist. The nickname Thompson, which is the name of his group at the same time, received a hint of a brand pistol, which he used in the brand of the same name.
He voluntarily volunteered in 1991, but only the last and worst weapon in his unit was appointed to him. Since then, his comrades opened him out of this weapon and gave him a nickname.
His song Boyna Chavavolv This has become famous, the song is still considered an unofficial anthem of Croatian soldiers during the Croatian War. Kavoloval is the name of the village from which the singer comes, and what he defended from the Serbian fighter. Permovich uses Ustasa’s greeting “for a ready -made house!” In his appearance as an entry into his greatest hit.
Fans from rural regions
His experience began after the war in 1995. In patriotic songs, he sings the glorious history of the Croatian kings of the Middle Ages. Even if after the 11th century there was no independent Croatia, the country was governed from Hungary.
But Thompson wants to see it in the other way, like many Croats. Thus, the Bosnian kings turn into Croatian. The story is within the framework of mythologized historiography, which emphasizes and invented the size of the nation.
It also applies to the so -called Croatian areas in Bosnia and Herzegovin. Big Croatia already exists in songs in Thompson. This is how he serves the feelings that many people want to share in Croatia, especially in low education and rural areas.
Fans wear fascist symbols
Fans of the group appeared in black clothing since the 2000s and demonstrate the symbols of the fascist movement of Ustash in the Second World War. They were jointly responsible for the persecution, torture and mass killings of Serbs, Jews, Roma and anti -fascist Croats.
Hitler’s salute is shown for more and more concerts. Permovich distance from fans in 2007, who came to a concert with Ustascha symbols on their clothes. His group could not introduce the rules of clothing, but they should rather carry the symbols of the Croatian war for independence than the symbols of Ostash, he said.
But now he no longer sees so tense. He sang the song of Ustash, in which the Serbs, Jews and Gypsies were killed in the Jasenovak concentration camp. News portal Mr. Index On the other hand, he sees his singing along as proven.
