Human Shield president Ivan Vilibor Sincic on Thursday told those gloating that this opposition party was over that it was not and that it would come out even stronger, and he also presented the party's new MPs - Damjan Vucelic and Snjezana Sabolek.

Speaking to the press, Sincic commented on the recent departure of Ivan Pernar and Branimir Bunjac from the party, saying “the truth will be known in a very short time.”

Sincic said he was willing to forget the ugly words and insults against the party, its members and himself. “As someone who has been in politics eight years and is the party’s president, I must guard Human Shield’s honour.”

He said the party would continue to work because citizens wanted it to. He called on everyone wishing to join the party to do so, and presented Vucelic and Sabolek as the members who will replace him and his wife Vladimira Palfi Sincic in parliament.

Recently Sincic said that he would become one of the 12 Croatian MEPs, after his party won only one seat in the EP election on 26 May. A decision on who is entitled to fill that seat seemed to be the main bone of contention between him and the party’s two MPs, Pernar and Bunjac, who left Human Shield in the meantime.
