Woman removes rainbow flags in Zagreb; passerby intervenes

An incident in the heart of Zagreb saw a woman attempting to remove rainbow flags from flagpoles in King Tomislav Square, an act captured on video and shared by a reader.

The footage shows the woman moving from one flagpole to another, taking down the flags that symbolize the LGBTIQ+ community. At one point, a man approaches her, attempting to dissuade her from her actions and audibly telling her, "Don't touch that!"

The confrontation occurred on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. Rainbow flags had been displayed in several locations throughout the city center in observance of the day.

Despite the passerby's intervention, the woman reportedly ignored him and continued her actions, managing to remove at least two flags before leaving the square. The article also includes commentary from social media users discussing the significance of such displays for the queer community and questioning why they provoke negative reactions.
