Context piece
- During a mass protest in central Zagreb attended by tens of thousands, Marko Perković Thompson shared the song “The Arrival of the Croats” on Facebook.
- He accompanied the lyrics with a video from the Hipodrome.
- Thompson did not directly comment on the protest.
As tens of thousands gathered for a mass protest in central Zagreb, Marko Perković Thompson posted a video from the Hipodrome and the lyrics to “The Arrival of the Croats” on Facebook.
The singer did not directly address the protest. The song’s lyrics describe the arrival of Croats in a heroic, sacred homeland and call on listeners to love and defend their land.
The post therefore consisted of the footage and the song lyrics, rather than an explicit statement about the demonstration.
