The Suverenisti's ideology is deeply rooted in Croatian patriotism and traditional Christian democratic ethics. At its core is a profound skepticism towards supranational institutions, viewing the state as the ultimate guarantor of the people's freedom and identity. They champion the concept of "national sovereignty" against global influences, advocating for a humanistic vision anchored in stable, traditional family structures and a deep connection to Croatia's history and culture.
The party's agenda centers on safeguarding national borders, promoting a higher birth rate, and bolstering domestic agriculture. It specifically targets conservative rural voters, devout Catholics, and Eurosceptics. Key demands include opposing any further transfer of powers to Brussels, implementing strict measures against illegal immigration, and protecting local resources from foreign investors. The party serves as a political voice for those concerned about cultural erosion and economic dependence.
Strategically, the Suverenisti position themselves as bridge-builders within the right-wing spectrum, yet frequently act as sharp critics of the moderate center. While acknowledging the formal institutions of the rule of law, they demand their reorientation towards national interests. Their relationship with the political system is marked by a permanent tension between parliamentary engagement and populist fundamental criticism of the "globalist elite." They occupy the flank to the right of established conservative forces, actively driving the discourse around national autonomy.
