Socialist Party of Croatia
- Socialist Party of Croatia
Socialist Party of Croatia (Croatian: Socijalistička stranka Hrvatske or "Socijalistički savez Hrvatske - Savez socijalista Hrvatske" SSH) is now defunct left-wing political party in Croatia.
Before the arrival of multi-party democracy to Croatia, SSH existed as Socialist League of Working People of Croatia ( _hr. Socijalistički savez radnog naroda Hrvatske, SSRNH), mass-umbrella organisation for all political organisations other than Croatian Communist Party. Before 1990 parliamentary elections, SSRNH rebranded itself into SSH, just like Communists rebranded themselves into Social Democratic Party of Croatia. At the election, two parties acted as a bloc and ultimately lost.
While SDP continued to exist as nominally strongest opposition in Parliament, SSH, after losing its reason for existence, began to slowly fade away.
It was briefly reinvigorated when prominent Zagreb attorney Silvije Degen began its leader and ran as relatively successful candidate during 1992 presidential elections.
SSH should not be mistaken for Socialist Party of Croatia - Left Alternative (Croatian: Socijalistička partija Hrvatske), which had been formed by people around Stipe Šuvar, at the time a dissident of Socialist Labour Party of Croatia.
Their successors are Social Democratic Action of Croatia, formed in 1994.
