MP Hrvoje Zekanovic of the ultra-conservative Hrast party announced at a news conference in the Croatian parliament on Wednesday that he and two other members of a conservative association would attend the United Nations’ migration conference on December 10-11 in the Moroccan city of Marrakech to protest against the global pact on migrations.

Zekanovic, who holds the Hrast party’s only seat in Croatia’s 151-seat Parliament, said that he is opposed to the agreement because it was never discussed in Parliament, and that President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic’s position on it was not clear either.

Grabar-Kitarovic had initially supported the Marrakech agreement, but later backed out from going to the December conference. The Foreign Ministry and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, on the other hand, support the agreement.

He added that once in Marrakech, his group would hold news conferences and attend street protests, linking up with likeminded groups from other countries.

“We couldn’t speak about it in the cabinet, in parliament and before a parliamentary committee, we have been silenced.

Zekanovic is travelling to Marrakesh to say that we Croats, like our neighbours Hungarians, Italians, Czechs, Slovaks, our friends from the US, Japan, and many other countries, are against the Marrakech agreement, and that we will do all in our power to ensure that this agreement, even if adopted by Croatia, is not applied,” Zeljko Sacic of the ultra-conservative association Hrvatski Bedem said.

He said that the agreement would only put additional financial obligations on Croatia, which is already in a great demographic, social, economic, and financial crisis, and that the adoption of the Marrakech agreement could result in an “irreparable national disaster.”

“We will do all we can to raise awareness of the Croatian people, in spite of the current ruling elite, to show what a great danger this globalist idea is to us,” Sacic said.

In July this year, all 193 UN member nations, except the US, said they supported the agreement. However, Hungary led by anti-immigrant Prime Minister Viktor Orban later backed out, and was joined by Austria, who cited sovereignty concerns. Australia, Israel, Poland, and the Czech Republic also said they would not support the agreement.
