Croatian Party of Rights

Croatian Party of Rights Dr. Ante Starčević (Croatian: Hrvatska stranka prava dr. Ante Starčević) is a right-wing nationalist political party in Croatia.

It was founded in 2009 by Ruža Tomašić and others as a splinter party from the Croatian Party of Rights. It is named after Ante Starčević (1823–1896). In 2011, they reported a membership of 20,000. They had limited electoral success in local elections, such as winning three seats in Vukovar city council in 2011.

In 2011, Croatian Party of Rights Dr. Ante Starčević signed a pre-election coalition agreement with far right Croatian Pure Party of Rights. In the Croatian parliamentary election, 2011, their coalition won one parliamentary seat.

In late 2012, the party made a permanent coalition with the centre-right Croatian Democratic Union. This coalition won the Croatian European Parliament election in 2013 and party president Ruža Tomašić was the highest ranking candidate on the winning list by preferential vote. The party joined the European Conservatives and Reformists.

On 3 November 2014, the party's founder and first president, Ruža Tomašić, left the party.
