Croatian Pure Party of Rights (Croatian: Hrvatska čista stranka prava or HČSP) is a parliamentary far right political party in Croatia founded in 1992. The party claims to be an ideological descendant of the same-named right-wing historical party which was active in the early 20th century and which advocated the right to self-determination for Croatia at the time when the country was part of Austria-Hungary and Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

In the Croatian parliamentary election, 2011, a coalition consisted of Croatian Party of Rights dr. Ante Starčević and Croatian Pure Party of Rights won one parliamentary seat, held by Ruža Tomašić from HSP-AS.[1]

History

The original HČSP was founded in 1904 by the Kvaternik and other factions of the Croatian Party of Rights (HSP), calling on the tradition of one of the Frankovci, a historical right-wing fraction movement of the Party of Rights from late 19th and early 20th century. Like most right-wing parties in Croatia, the HČSP claim a legacy descending from Ante Starčević.[2][3]

It was reconstituted in 1992 after Socialist-era suppression was no longer an issue.

Ideology

Party policy would introduce lustration to the Croatian system, and would also cease cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The party opposes Croatia joining the EU and NATO membership.[2]

Internal policies would include banning abortion and not allowing same-sex marriages. Amnesty given to Serbs who participated in the rebellion, as well as the return of Serbs, would be cancelled.[4]

The party also opposes Italian irredentism.[5]

Regional Representation

HČSP contested local elections in Split and Split-Dalmatia County.[6]

2007 election and accusations of antisemitism

The party announced that it would spend 600,000 kuna for the campaign.[4] The youngest person competing in the 2007 elections, Kristina Posavec stated she has chosen to be on HČSP list because "it is against EU, NATO and gay marriages". [7]

In one of the election debates, party leader Josip Miljak stated that the "profit of INA goes to Hungary, to MOL, to the Jewish capital, while we are left only with the pollution." After this statement, HNS's Goran Beus Richembergh and SDP's Tonino Picula left the TV studio in protest.[8]

The Party was involved in a violent opposition to Zagreb Pride demonstrations, with some of the protesters raising hands in Roman salute.[9]
