Political program
editParty's political program was focused on stimulating economic growth and employment, especially of the young, educated and talented people who are waiting for their chance on the Employment Exchange, and demography, which is crucial for the existence of the Croatian people. Party's program also placed emphasis on anti-corruption measures, considering it is high time to abolish the unjust rule of a handful of privileged individuals whose particular interests are placed ahead of the common good.[6]
