Sammanfattning

This chapter questions the widely held assumption in scholarly literature that there is no right-wing populism in Croatia. It does so by exploring the ways in which an appeal to “the people” is used by the organization “On Behalf of the Family” (OBF) in its heterosexist marriage referendum action and subsequent referendum initiatives. Applying qualitative discourse analysis to OBF’s political discourse, the chapter identifies a systematic construction of the vertical antagonism between “the people” regarded both as demos and bounded community, and political representatives positioned both “on top” and “outside”. Based on this ambiguity, the chapter further reveals the close interplay of vertical and horizontal antagonisms as one of the key features of OBF’s populist repertoire, allowing OBF to utilize inclusionary populism in its exclusionary campaigns.
