chauvinism. Fascist and nationalist groups determine the political scene
and openly incite against minorities. Again, it comes to violent attacks
on Roma, the LGBT community, left subculture, and activists. But
gradually evolved a new anti-fascist movement. It starts is to connect
across borders. In Zagreb, the anti-Fascist group “Alterta” exists since
several years. Activists are from spot report on their work and then
discuss. Speaker*: Activis from the anti-fascist initiative “Alerta”
