POLITIČKO DJELOVANJE STJEPANA RADIĆA U KRALJEVINI SHS

Stjepan Radić jedan je od najpoznatijih hrvatskih političara 20. stoljeća. Osnivač je hrvatske pučke seljačke stranke. Nakon prvog svjetskog rata suprotstavljao se bezuvjetnom ujedinjenju s Kraljevinom Srbijom. Želeći naglasiti neprihvaćanje monarhizma, borbu za republikanizam i Hrvatsku Seljačku Republiku, mjenja naziv stranke u Hrvatska republikanska seljačka stranka. 1925. suočen sa optužbama vladajućeg režima za komunizam te vrlo izglednom dugogodišnjom robijom mjenja političku taktiku te priznaje monarhiju i postaje ministrom prosvjete u Kraljevini SHS. Međutim vrlo brzo vraća se u oporbu te sklapa dogovor s Pribićevićem o odruženju HSS i SDS u seljačko-demokratsku koaliciju. 20.6.1928. u Narodnoj skupštini u Beogradu zastupnik radikalne stranke Puniša Račić ispalio je hice zastupnike seljačke stranke, koji su smrtno ranili Stjepana Radića, na mjestu ubili narodne zastupnike Pavla Radića i Đuru Basaričeka, te teško ranili Ivana Pernara i Ivana Granđu. Već se tada šaptalo da je taj zločin bio organiziran i da mu je stvarni rukovodilac bio kralj Aleksandar. Ubrzo nakon toga kralj uvodi šestosiječanjsku diktaturu.Stjepan Radić was a Croatian politician and the founder of the Croatian People's Peasant Party.
