Party of Rights

Moderate and hardline nationalist factions existed during the period and after Starčević's death, the party would embrace anti-Serb, anti-Yugoslav and Republicanist leadership.

In 1929, the party was dissolved after the proclamation of the 6 January Dictatorship and soon after, some members joined the underground organization Ustaše which was led by Ante Pavelić.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the party underwent various changes in membership and policy, as different factions splintered and reconciled over time.

During the 1895 visit of Emperor Franz Joseph to Zagreb, a flag-burning incident happened, that was disavowed by the party leader Fran Folnegović.

However, Ante Starčević disagreed, and he and his followers, notably Eugen Kumičić and Josip Frank (a Jewish convert to Catholicism), formed the first Pure Party of Rights (Croatian: Čista stranka prava).

The next year, in 1909, the Pure Party of Rights itself splintered, as Mile Starčević, Ante Pavelić and others accused Frank of consorting with Pavao Rauch.

In 1913, the Pure Party of Rights was formed by old supporters of Frank, this time led by Aleksandar Horvat [hr].

When the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs proclaimed its unification with Kingdom of Serbia on 1 December 1918, the Party of Rights protested.

[citation needed] In their program from March 1919, members of the party made a plea for Croatian independence based on the right to self-determination of all peoples.

A unified Party of Rights participated in the 1920 Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes Constitutional Assembly election.

[citation needed] The Party of Rights ran standalone in the 1923 Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes parliamentary election.
