The Union of Communists of Croatia ( Serbo-Croatian Savez komunista Hrvatske / Савез комуниста Хрватске , SKH / СКХ) was part of the Union of Communists of Yugoslavia , the ruling party in the former Yugoslavia .
history
It was founded in 1937 in Samobor as the Communist Party of Croatia (KPH) and changed its name to the Union of Communists of Croatia (BdKK) in 1952 .
The party leadership was formed by the Central Committee, which was chaired by the President of the Central Committee of the Socialist Republic of Croatia . The policy of this organization was decided at congresses.
In the second half of the 1960s, following the conviction of Aleksandar Ranković, the party leadership decided on reforms. Savka Dabčević-Kučar and Miko Tripalo , who were later to be among the leaders in the Croatian Spring in 1971, also belonged to the management team at that time .
On December 10, 1989, 20 political parties began collecting signatures for a petition calling for democratic elections to be held. On the same day, the party approved early elections. In January 1990 the delegation of the BKK left the 14th Congress of the Union of Communists of Yugoslavia. With this, the BdKK de facto ceases to be part of the BdKJ.
With the democratic changes, the party name also changed: in the years 1990-1992 to Party of Democratic Changes (Croatian: Stranka demokratskih promjena ), since 1993 Social Democratic Party of Croatia (Socijaldemokratska partija Hrvatske) .
