Andrej Hlinka (1864-1938)

EN
Andrej Hlinka, the Catholic priest and Slovak patriot, was a key Slovak politician of the first half of the 20th century. He was a founder of the Slovak People's Party. He was persecuted by the Hungarian authorities for his Slovak political activities. He was imprisoned for two years in 1906 and was also suspended from the priesthood by Sander Párvy, the bishop of Spiš. However, the canonical process in Rome cleared Hlinka from all accusations and Párvy had to restore him to his parish in Ružomberok after he left prison. In 1918 Hlinka became a member of the Slovak National Council and advocated the separation of Slovakia from Hungary and its unification with the Czech Lands. In the First Czechoslovak Republic he was permanently elected deputy to the House of Deputies of the Czechoslovak National Assembly. However, Hlinka was not satisfied with the centralist model of Czechoslovakia and advocated Slovak autonomy. He died in August 1938.

The contribution deals with the efforts of introducing the Czechoslovak People‘s Party (CPP) to Slovakia in the period after its close co­‑operation with Hlinka‘s Slovak People‘s Party (SPP), after 26 November 1921. Since that time, CPP has lost significant influence on the formation of Catholic politics in Slovakia and SPP is aware that this could lead to serious competition in its candidacy. For this reason, SPP regarded any stronger internal disagreement as CPP‘s potential arrival in Slovakia. Those were the activities of Jozef Vrabec, Martin Mičura and the Association of Christian Farm Workers and Smallholders, among whom the most prominent figures were Jan Teodor Hanák, and up until 1924 the priest – Ján Vanák. The study deals with the above­‑mentioned attempts, until the moment of the creation of the CPP in Slovakia in 1925, while its aim is to point out to what extent were those efforts were connected with CPP, through an analysis of the periodical press and the available archival sources. It also examines the impact of those events on the perception of CPP and main representatives of the Slovak People‘s Party.
