Operation of the catholic camp in Celje between 1935 - 1941

Čas od smrti kralja Aleksandra, leta 1935, do začetka druge svetovne vojne v Jugoslaviji, leta 1941, je bil čas postopne demokratizacije političnega življenja, oživela pa so tudi različna društva in organizacije. Te spremembe so se odražale tudi v Celju, kjer se je v tem času organizirala nova vsedržavna stranka JRZ za celjski okraj, katere del je bila tudi vodilna katoliška stranka v Dravski banovini, Koroščeva SLS. Med leti 1935–1941 so v Celju oživela tudi številna katoliška društva in organizacije. V tem času je bilo za Celje značilno pestro politično življenje, predvsem organiziranje nove stranke JRZ, prav tako pa so bili za ta čas značilni katoliški tabori fantov in mož ter zbori in tabori Kmečke zveze. Med leti 1935–1941 so potekale tudi volitve v narodno skupščino, prve so bile leta 1935, druge pa leta 1938. The period from the death of King Alexander in 1935 to the beginning of World War II in Yugoslavia in 1941was the period of gradual democratisation of political life. Many societies and organisations also came to life. These changes were also present in Celje, where a new nationwide political party, Yugoslav Radical Union, for the district of Celje was being organized at that time. The leading “Catholic” party, Slovene People’s party led by Korošec, in Drava Banovina was also a part of it. Between 1935 and 1941 many Catholic societies and organisations came to life. A diverse political life was typical for Celje in this time, especially in organisation of a new political party Yugoslav Radical Union, as well as “Catholic camps of boys and men”, conventions and camps of Farmers’ association. Yugoslav parliamentary elections were held between 1935 and 1941. The first elections were held in 1935 and the second elections in 1938.
