The Key of Croatia (Croatian: Ključ Hrvatske) was a populist political party in Croatia.
Until the party changed its name on 21 May 2022, it was known as Human Shield (Croatian: Živi zid, lit. 'Living Wall') and was formed out of an anti-eviction group of the same name. The group opposed foreclosures by occupying property and forming a "human shield", hence the name.[8][9][2][10][11]
The party was founded on 2 June 2011 as the Alliance for Change (Croatian: Savez za promjene).[12] and operated under that name until it became Human Shield in 2014 ahead of the 2014–15 presidential election, supporting the candidacy of Ivan Vilibor Sinčić.
The party refused to be characterized as being left or right and claimed adherence to humanist values.[13]
On February 3, 2024, the party merged with the Let's Change Croatia party and the independent list of Mislav Kolakušić into the Law and Justice. The party's previous president, Ivan Vilibor Sinčić, became the vice president of the newly formed option.
