Months ago, I raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants draining social services and generally causing chaos all over Springfield, Ohio. Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country. Where is our border czar?” he wrote.
Those reports are largely based on social media postings that were picked up by national figures including Charlie Kirk and Elon Musk over the weekend.
ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Wielding hammers, Croatian war veterans on Monday tore down signs written in the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet that were put up on official buildings to boost minority rights in the new EU nation.
Dozens of angry veterans pushed away police guarding the state buildings in Vukovar, an eastern town on the Danube that was heavily damaged by the Serb-led Yugoslav army during Croatia's 1991 war for independence. Thousands were killed in the conflict.
Vukovar has a sizable Serb minority and having official signs in both the Croatian Latin alphabet and Serbian Cyrillic are in line with the country's law on minority rights. Vukovar war veterans, however, say the Cyrillic signs insult Croatian war victims.
Police said that several people were detained and four policemen were slightly injured during the skirmishes with the demonstrators.
Croatian state TV reported that about 300 people gathered later on Monday demanding the release of the detained protesters.
Croatia's president and the government condemned the sign destruction as "chauvinist violence."
Croatia became the European Union's 28th member in July. But about two decades after the war, ethnic tensions between Croats and Serbs are still simmering, particularly in Vukovar.
