Croatian Growth

Croatian Growth (Croatian: Hrvatski rast, acronym Hrast is a Croatian word for Oak tree) or Hrast-Movement for Successful Croatia was a political party in Croatia established in 2012. Its founding was initiated by several conservativeCatholicNGOs, Croatian section of Radio Maria, Croatian Republican Union, Family Party, Christian Democrat politician Ante Ledić, authorHrvoje Hitrec and two candidates in 2010 Presidential elections in Croatia, historianJosip Jurčević and Miroslav Tuđman, son of first Croatian president Franjo Tuđman.^[3] The party maintains contacts with European Christian Political Party.^[4]

In the 2013 European Parliament election, Croatian Growth received 2,55% of votes, which was not enough to gain a seat.

The party participated in the Patriotic Coalition at the 2015 Croatian parliamentary election. In that election, it became possible for candidates to receive preferential votes, and the candidates of Hrast won a total of 8,800 (out of a coalition total of 771,070).^[5]

Ladislav Ilčić served as MP until new 2016 Croatian parliamentary election, when he was replaced by Hrvoje Zekanović, party's vicepresident.

Since April 2018, HRAST is no longer part of the ruling HDZ coalition because of disagreement over the ratification of the Istanbul Convention.

In July 2018, HRAST signed a political cooperation pact with Croatian Conservative Party. In February 2019, they launched political platform called Croatian Sovereignists together with several NGOs and prominent intellectuals for the upcoming 2019 European Parliament election.
