Human Shield (Croatian: ?ivi zid, literally translated as "Living Wall")[4] is a populist[5]political party in Croatia, formed out of an anti-eviction group of the same name.[1] Also known as Human Blockade, the group opposes foreclosures by occupying property and forming a "human shield", hence the name. The party was founded on 2 June 2011.[6]

The party grew out of the organization that operated until 2014 as the Alliance for Change (Croatian: Savez za promjene).[7] The organization formed into a party ahead of the 2014-15 presidential election, supporting the candidacy of Ivan Vilibor Sin?i?.

The party refuses to be characterized as being left or right and claims adherence to humanist values.[8]

Principles

The party believes that the current monetary system is unfair and unsustainable because it is based on money as debt, i.e. all the money in circulation comes as a loan with an interest rate that never went into circulation (only principal did), which is, according to the party, the cause of many evictions in Croatia.

The party stands for:[8]

  • non-credit money (the state must have the power of making money, and not the private banks)
  • audit and prosecution of the 1990s process of privatization and ownership transformation
  • legal prohibitions of permanent evictions and confiscation of the only real estate in which the defendant lives alone or with his family
  • revival of Croatian agriculture
  • thorough reform of the judiciary and public administration
  • lustration of the corrupt staff
  • free health care and education
  • lower taxes
  • termination of the Constitutional Court
  • abolition of the compulsory HRT subscription
  • personal freedoms
  • withdrawal from NATO, proclamation of military neutrality and withdrawal of Croatian soldiers from all military missions abroad
  • thorough reform of the European Union so it would become "a true European dream - unifying the continent on equal and social grounds"
  • opposition to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
  • full ban on Genetically modified organism (GMO) products
  • full legalization of marijuana
  • animal and environmental protection
  • recognition of the State of Palestine
  • full secularization
