Torcida released a banner that the police had banned them from the last game

During a football match between Hajduk and Varazdin in the SuperSport HNL league, the northern stand at Poljud Stadium was largely empty, drawing attention due to the absence of fans from the Torcida group, who typically gather there. The match took place amid heightened police activity related to the arrest and search for individuals involved in court proceedings ahead of a different match involving Hajduk and Ajax. Protests along Split's streets included antisemitic and Nazi slogans, leading the police to file charges against several people for inciting violence and hatred. Following the match, Torcida posted a photo of a message they were unable to display during the game, which had been banned by the police. The message read, 'Freedom of speech in 2026,' accompanied by a statement criticizing the focus on fan chants while ignoring the country's main issues.

Spike threatened to erase Torcida and attacked Penava: "Splite, how could you let yourself do this?" This is the greatest disgrace...

Milivoj Špika, predsjednik 'Bloka umirovljenici zajedno', oštro je kritizirao antisemitske i nacističke povike dijela Torcide u povorci uoči utakmice Hajduka protiv Ajaxa. Špika je prijetio da će tražiti brisanje Torcide iz registra udruga ako takvi incidenti ostaju neriješeni. Također je kritizirao Ivana Penavu, predsjednika Domovinskog pokreta, za branjenje organizatora spornih događaja. Špika je naglasio radikalnu promjenu ponašanja dijela navijača Hajduka, koji su prešli iz tradicionalnog navijanja u ponašanja koja uključuju antisemitizam, nacizam i ustaštvo. Uz to, optužio je institucije i političare za neodgovornost u prevenciji takvih ponašanja.

Bias read (Progressive): The article highlights criticism of authorities focusing on minor issues like fan chants rather than addressing major national problems, suggesting a critique of governance and media priorities. This framing implies a left-leaning perspective by emphasizing social justice concerns and freedom of表达.

This is the banner that the police have forbidden us

The Croatian football fan group Torcida has criticized the media and government for focusing on their chants during a recent match between Hajduk Split and Ajax, which included references to Adolf Hitler and anti-Semitic remarks. They claim that the police prevented them from displaying a banner at their subsequent match against Varazdin in the Croatian league, which stated 'Freedom of Speech in 2026.' The banner criticized the intense media scrutiny they faced after the incident, comparing it to the level of attention given to serious crimes. This comes after widespread criticism of Torcida's behavior during the European competition match.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both the fan group's claims and the context of the controversy without overtly favoring either side. It reports on the fan group's actions and the police's response neutrally, without using biased language or selectively omitting information.
