The Bloc for Croatia (Croatian: Blok za Hrvatsku) is a right-wing nationalist political party in Croatia.
History
After a disagreement between Zlatko Hasanbegović and the president of the Independents for Croatia party, Bruna Esih, over two separate electoral conventions, Hasanbegović left the party.[2] In November 2019, he launched the Bloc for Croatia, stating that he was supported by four-fifths of the members of the Independents for Croatia.[2] By December, the party entered an alliance with two other right-wing parties; Croatian Growth and the Croatian Conservative Party.[4] However, after the formation of the nationalist party Miroslav Škoro Homeland Movement, Bloc for Croatia entered into an agreement with them.
