history

The SLS is the legal successor to the Catholic People's Party, founded in 1892 ( Slovenian Katoliška narodna stranka ). In fact, however, the initiative to found a party came about at the agricultural conference of the socialist youth organization ZSMS on February 29, 1988. On May 12, 1988, the Slovenian Farmers' Union ( Slovenska kmečka zveza , SKZ) and its youth organization were founded in Ljubljana . The former worked within the Socialist Alliance, the youth organization worked within the ZSMS. In 1990 the movement was transformed into a party. It has had its current name since 1992. In 2000 she took on the Slovenski krščanski Demokratie ( Slovenian Christian Democrats , SKD).

In the Kingdom of Yugoslavia , the Slovene People's Party was considered pro-Yugoslav and advocating Serbian centralism, as Yugoslavia offered a safe protective shield against the territorial demands of fascist Italy . The party's political leader during this period was Anton Korošec .
