The police was controlling any person, blocking any group or a person, which was not suitable. Purpose of that was and still is to produce an impression of a free and outspoken protest.
“Leadership” of this sindicates was caught in the past as a collaborators with the well corrupted, clientelistic state regime, which egsisted in Croatia through more then few years, and political parties is just a show, so, name, or a declared political orientation and platform is just a lie.
