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.

[edit] Ideology

Like most right-wing parties in Croatia, the HČSP claim a legacy descending from Ante Starčević[3][4], and it views the rival Croatian Party of Rights as traitors[5]. Party policy would introduce lustration to the Croatian system, and would also cease collaboration with the ICTY. The party is also opposed to Croatia joining the EU and NATO[6].

Internal policies would include banning abortion and same-sex marriages. Amnesty given to Serbs who participated in the rebellion, as well as the return of Serbs, would be cancelled. [7].

The HČSP celebrate Ustashi anniversaries.[8].

The party also advocates irredentism of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Boka Kotorska, Bač and also Srijem: a Serbian region known as Srem which is recognised by the HČSP as Srijem in its entirety. [9].

[edit] Regional Representation

HČSP is represented in assemblies of Split and Split-Dalmatia County[10].

[edit] 2007 Elections and party's antisemitism

The party announced that it would spend 600,000 kunas for the campaign[11]. 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". [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."[13] After this antisemitic statement, HNS's Goran Beus Richembergh and SDP's Tonino Picula left the studio.

Another antisemitic incident happened when an HČSP member in another debate stated: Whoever doesn't listen to Thompson's music in Croatia is a Jew[14]. These two incidents outraged the Croatian Jewish community.

HČSP members, when referring to the Serbian community in Croatia, derogatively use the term "Chetniks[15][16]."
