The article describes the activity of Martin Mičura, chairman of the Czechoslovak People's Party in Slovakia, as a member of the National Assembly in the years 1925–1939. Martin Mičura, as a deputy of a pro‑ Czechoslovak party, always tried in his speeches to enable Slovakia to enjoy similar social conditions to those in the more developed Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. He was mostly involved in discussions about the budget for the next year and concentrated on questions and problems which, as a lawyer and an expert with practice in self‑ governing structures, understood best judicial issues and questions of public administration and self‑ government. He did not avoid other social areas and worked to help Slovakia in the economic, social, and cultural areas. His other “favourite” themes were church schools, sole traders and traders, taxes, transport, etc. In the 1930s, he began to comment on such key issues as the huge economic crisis and its consequences, the worsening situation in international politics and the increase in nationalism in connection with the expansion of totalitarian systems, especially Nazi Germany which began to abuse the Germany minority in Czechoslovakia to its advantage. The aim of his speeches in debates on international politics was to protect a democratic and unitary Czechoslovakia which, from the mid 1930s, was in increasing danger from undemocratic, autocratic, and totalitarian systems which gradually destroyed the Versailles Peace Treaty. He worked as a deputy of the Czechoslovak People's Party in Slovakia in various parliamentary committees, notably as chairman of the constitutional and juridical committee in the years 1925–1935.

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.
