Croatian Pure Party of Rights (Croatian: Hrvatska čista stranka prava, HČSP) is a far-right wing political party in Croatia. It was founded in 1992 as a followers of one of historical Croatian Party of Rights fraction movements from late 19th and early 20th century - frankovci.
As of the 2003 elections, it is non-parliamentary party as it did not win enough votes (required 5%) to enter the Croatian Parliament.
Ideology
Like most rightist parties in Croatia, HČSP claims legacy to Ante Starčević[3][4] and sees rival Croatian Party of Rights as traitors[5]. The party wants to introduce lustration in Croatia and stop cooperation with ICTY as well as accession process to the EU and NATO[6]. HČSP wants to make abortion illegal, calls for ban on same-sex marriages, abolish amnesty given to Serbs that participated in the rebellion and stop the return of Serb refugees[7].
Ustashi anniversaries are celebrated by HČSP[8].
Party advocates irredentism of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Boka Kotorska, Srijem and Bač[9].
Regional Representation
HČSP is represented in assemblies of Split and Split-Dalmatia County[10].
2007 Elections and party's antisemitism
The party announced that it will spend 600 000 kunas for the campaign[11]. The youngest person competing on 2007 elections, Kristina Posavec, comes from HČSP and she says that she chose it because "it is against EU, NATO and gay marriages". [12]
On one of the election debates, party leader Josip Miljak stated that "profit of Croatian oil company serves to Jew capital and Croatia is left only with the pollution."[1] After this antisemitic statement HNS's Goran Beus Richembergh and SDP's Tonino Picula left the studio.
Another antisemitic incident happened when HČSP member in another debate stated: Who doesn't listen Thompson's music in Croatia is a Jew. [2]. This two incidents outraged Croatian Jew community.
