Savez za promjene (Alliance for change) - President Ivan Pernar, Zagreb, Croatia www.s-p.hr

Alliance for change Program - General information  

Alliance for change is economically progressive party, which means rejecting ideological splits from past times and turning to future. Unlike state control and censure, we represent personal freedom concept which ensures person's right for free thinking and speach. Alliance for change strives for our country (Croatia) to be a prosperity society where people can work, save, invest and create new values, and not to be a society that is forced to live in misery and poverty and therefore depend on state support.

1. Personal rights and freedoms

We believe that all people are born equal and that they are entitled to inalienable rights; among others; right to life, freedom from various forms of torture, slavery, forced or unpaid work, the right to freedom and security, a fair and fast trial, right to self defense, privacy, private property, freedom of conscience, freedom of expression, assembling and associating.

2. Economic freedom

We believe in the individual's right to produce, trade and consume goods and services which came to the property of individual in a legal way, therefore, without using force, fraud or theft. Without economic freedom there is no economic growth or creating new values and jobs. It is undeniable that societies in which economic freedom is higher are richer and have higher living standards and economic growth, less poverty, corruption and political repression.

3. Changing monetary policy

Instead of a restrictive monetary policy and debt inflation we want state to lead an expansionary monetary policy with lower interest rates, as well as state to compensate budget deficit with non-credit money emission from CNB (Croatian National Bank), not with further credit borrowing.

4. Tax cutting

When the government taxes, it takes from our wallets. If the government increases the existing and introduces new taxes on investment, work and production, people will work less, invest less and produce less for the simple reason - they will try to protect the money that they hardly earn. Also the opposite, if the government reduces taxes, people will naturally have more willingness to work, produce and invest. Therefore, the tax rates reduction is essential for our economic growth, creating jobs and increasing standard of living for all of us. We oppose the introduction of property tax, capital gains tax, dividends tax and inheritance tax.

5. Freedom of religion

Every individual has the right to publicly and privately practice their religion, beliefs or religious teachings. While fully accept the right of individual to change religion or to not belong to any religion. Also, we demand separation of religion from state, and we support funding of religious communities by donations of its believers, and not from the state budget.

6. Rejection of a policy that refuses to hear people

Most people are against mandatory payment of RTV (radio/television) subscription fee, forced membership of all businesses in the economic or small business chambers, copyright law which prescribes the payment of tax on all blank CDs, taxi transport monopoly, mild jail sentences for reckless and drunk drivers, they are against violence, corruption and economy crime. There are many unjust laws and regulations which harm society as a whole and which favor small interest - community groups which are often criminal-minded. We reject such policy.

7. Nonviolence and Peace

We oppose the interventionist foreign policy conducted by the political elite. We demand the withdrawal of the Croatian army from all military missions abroad.

8. Protecting the environment

We are looking for consistent enforcement of environmental laws and support severely punishment of those who knowingly and willfully destroy and poison our environment. The energy strategy of our country should be based, to the greatest extent possible, on renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources.

Croatia says NO to EU: http://antieualliance.blog.hr/

1.	According to The Lisbon treaty, which became official on 01.12.2009., EU with 500 million citizens is becoming a federal state in which the member states lose their sovereignty and become provinces. Croatia would, with population of 4.3 million people (1% of the total EU population) became smaller province with miserable voting right.

2.	Only 6 EU Member States (Germany, France, England, Italy, Spain and Poland) represent 70% of the population of the EU, while the remaining 21, the smaller states, have the remaining 30%. It is very clear that almost not a single one decision will be accepted withouth the ruling will of the "six".

3.	EU citizens will be able to move, live, vote and be nominated in all the states of the EU, including in Croatia, which means that EU citizens with higher purchasing power and political power could determine Croatian politics and freely buy what is most attractive and most desirable.

4.	Croatia would not be able to confidently make decisions on asylum for all asylum seekers who enter the EU because, no matter through which border they enter, with the principle of free movement within the EU, they can come to Croatia and settle here permanently when their EU status becomes official.

5.	The European Court of Justice consists of 27 judges, one from each member country. The Trial Chamber consists of 3 judges, but otherwise the decision is made by a majority. Croatian judge would rarely participate in the European Court, and even when he would, he could have better role within 3-member CHamber, because he would be outvoted in all others.

6.	The ruling "six" will have its regular "independent" lawyers. The remaining five lawyers will come from the remaining 21 member states on a rotational basis. So, all members aren't equal. Given that the mandate of independent lawyers lasts 6 years, Croatia would have the right to appoint an "independent" lawyer only every 26 years. If the EU expands to new members, the time lag for appointing will increase.

7.	Since 90% of our media is in the hands of foreigners, the government (HDZ, SDP) is blessing 15-year media silence about all the harmful aspects of Croatian accession to the EU.

8.	Norwegians have said NO to EU on 1994. referendum because they are rich country (gas, fish, fresh water, hydroenergy...) that doesn't want EU to determine how many (quotas) and to who they can sell their products. The slogan "Norway is not for sale" became a buzzword of Norwegian people.

9.	Icelanders are, given the negative experience of Ireland, skeptic toward the EU because they want to protect their own economy (fishing, agriculture, energy, geothermal energy...) and their money - the Iceland Crown, because of Kruna's value their products are more competitive than the products of the countries of EU that have Euro.

10.	Chapter 17., ' The report on the fullfillment of obligations' indicates that Croatian government has betrayed our nation and has given up monetary sovereignty. Government with Jadranka Kosor aboard, instead of full employment and economic growth, agreed that the objective of the CNB (Croatian National Bank) is "to maintain price stability and support the economic policy of the European Union". Few years ago, National Bank was supporting the economic policy of the Republic of Croatia, but now it's main goal is supporting the EU! The decree that said „Croatian Parliament is responsible for the Statute of the Croatian National Bank“, a decree „Croatian National Bank is responsible to the Croatian Parliament“ are all quietly erased.

11.	Since the money is under burden by debt and high taxes, in the EU it comes to an increase in product prices and services (value of money is lower and lower), and paralelly, the rise of prices isn't accompanied by a simultaneous increase in wages. Consequently, having the euro (€) as a currency results in lower purchasing power.

12.	EU members are one by one falling into debt slavery. Few months ago, Greece, Ireland and Portugal, now Spain, who's next?

13.	The EU has a restrictive monetary policy with high taxes, which cause debt inflation and it is obvious that in such model there's no place for the economic growth and greater prosperity, because the interests on loans and taxes eat all profits. Debts are nonpayable because you always need to take a new loan to pay off an existing one.

14.	Currently in Croatia there are about 80,000 businesses and 162,000 citizens under bancrupt and nonliquidity is in it's peak record (5,3 billion €). Entering the EU, the agony in which is our society will only escalate, because Euro will make everything so expensive that our standard of living will fall rapidly down.
