Thompson’s Spectacle Shakes Croatia: Concerts, Political Backing, and Controversies!
Zagreb and Sinj are buzzing these days with the presence of Marko Perković Thompson, a man who never fails to stir up a storm of emotions and reactions across Croatia. His concert at the Zagreb Hippodrome became the biggest musical event in the country, drawing thousands of fans. But it wasn’t just about music and celebration – there were controversies, political messages, and questions about where Thompson could actually win if he ran for mayor.
Where Would Thompson Win?
We asked people on the streets of Zagreb where they think Thompson could win a mayoral election. Answers were interesting and divided. Some said Knin or Vukovar, cities known for strong patriotism, while others were sure he wouldn’t stand a chance in Zagreb. “I definitely wouldn’t vote for him,” said one young man, while another woman said Thompson is a good musician but shouldn’t get involved in politics.
The Hippodrome Spectacle and Aftermath
The concert was a technical spectacle – one of the largest stages ever set up in Croatia, with numerous additional lighting, sound, and protective elements. Dismantling the stage and cleaning the Hippodrome took days, with dozens of workers and heavy machinery involved to restore the area. Organizers announced a new big concert, this time at the Dalmatian Hippodrome in Sinj, scheduled for August 4th, which is already generating huge interest from fans across Croatia and abroad.
Political Support and Controversies
Prime Minister Andrej Plenković attended the concert’s dress rehearsal in Zagreb with his children, sparking further public reactions. Police isolated several cases related to illegal symbols and public order violations during and after the concert, but Interior Minister Davor Božinović praised the organization and peaceful gathering of a large crowd.
Sinj Prepares for the Biggest Gathering in History
Sinj’s mayor, Miro Bulj, announced that the concert in Sinj will be the largest gathering in the city’s and the entire Cetina region’s history. Ticket sales are in full swing, with most tickets already sold out. Bulj emphasized that the entire Sinj area will be a fan zone, and the traditional events of the Days of Alka and the Feast of the Assumption will take place simultaneously, further increasing attendance. Safety and organization are priorities, and equipment from the Zagreb concert will be transported to Sinj.
What Do People Say?
Public opinions are split. Some praise Thompson as a patriot and top musician, while others see him as a controversial figure who shouldn’t enter politics. Still, the fact remains that his concert at the Hippodrome attracted tens of thousands, showing his popularity and influence.
Conclusion
Thompson is not just a musician – he’s a phenomenon that sparks passion, controversy, and political debate. His concerts in Zagreb and Sinj are not just musical events but social and political spectacles raising questions about identity, patriotism, and the role of such figures in Croatia’s public life.
So, what do you think? Could Thompson win an election? Or is it better if he stays just a music star? Drop a comment and keep the fiery debate going!
