Primorac, representing the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), was present at the religious service when the young woman began to feel faint. With his medical background—he is a graduate of the Medical Faculty—Primorac promptly attended to the woman, who had been seated on a wall outside the church. He checked her condition by placing one hand on her forehead and the other on the back of her neck to give support. Nearby citizens also contributed by bringing her a bottle of water.
The news of Primorac’s quick response was well received, highlighting a compassionate side in the midst of his campaign activities. Following the incident, once the woman felt better, Primorac engaged with the gathered citizens and announced that he had already collected 60,000 signatures for his candidacy.
This event has taken place amid the larger backdrop of the Croatian presidential race, where Primorac is challenging the current president, Zoran Milanović. Croatian Prime Minister and HDZ leader, Andrej Plenković, has publicly endorsed Primorac, stating that he represents a progressive vision for Croatia.
Overall, the event at the church demonstrated Primorac’s readiness to take action in unexpected situations, providing an additional dimension to his public image as the election campaign progresses.
