In recent years, Croatian pop star Severina has made her political stance more apparent, aligning with liberal-left ideals. During a recent concert, she indirectly targeted right-wing singer Marko Perković 'Thompson' by discussing patriotism and faith in a critique of his more nationalistic approach. Severina emphasized that her concerts embody true patriotism, unity, and authenticity, in stark contrast to what she perceives as divisiveness and lies from the right.

Severina's message at her concerts highlighted inclusivity, stating that true patriotism means singing together rather than fostering conflict. She insists that there is no nationalism present at her performances, which are designed to unite rather than divide Croatians. From her perspective, faith is a personal and beloved aspect of her identity, which she expresses musically, separate from any commercial motives.

Her comments reflect a broader cultural debate in Croatia over nationalism, identity, and political expression in the arts. As Severina continues to engage in political commentary through her musical platform, her stance raises questions about the role of artists in political discourse and the potential impact of their influence on public sentiment in the current socio-political climate of Croatia.
