DPMŠ) until February 2021, is a nationalist and right-wing populist political party in Croatia.[8][9] The DP was founded by Croatian singer, former Croatian Democratic Union MP, and 2019–20 presidential election candidate, Miroslav Škoro, on 29 February 2020.

The DP is variously considered conservative, right-wing populist and nationalist. The party competed in the 2020 Croatian parliamentary election in a coalition with several other minor right-wing to far-right parties, including the Croatian Conservative Party, Croatian Growth and Bloc for Croatia.[3]

The party is in favour of the EU and the Schengen Area but was opposed to the Euro. The party is also against abortion and same-sex marriage. During 2022, the party expressed support for Ukraine, but was opposed to allowing military training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Croatia.[19]

History

On 29 February 2020, Miroslav Škoro, a former MP who stood in the recent presidential election, confirmed to the media the formation of a new party, four and a half months before the parliamentary elections.[20] The DP tried to form a broad right-of-centre coalition for the upcoming election. They negotiated with the Bridge of Independent Lists, but no agreement was reached.[21] A coalition was formed with several other parties, including the conservative Croatian Sovereignists coalition, which was established to contest the 2019 European elections, and the newly founded Bloc for Croatia.[22] A coalition agreement was also signed with the Green list, emphasizing "environmental protection and the fight against climate change".[23]

On 20 July 2021, Miroslav Škoro resigned as party president over a dispute over party finances. This was soon followed by disciplinary proceedings against Škoro and his sister Vesna Vučemilović, which is why they decided to leave the party.[24][25]

On 9 October 2021, Mayor of Vukovar, Ivan Penava was elected the new party president.[26]
