Čapková, Adéla ; Doubek, Vratislav (advisor) ; Borbélyová, Dominika (referee)
The focus of the bachelor thesis will be on the issue of national minorities and related issues discussed in the pre-election rhetoric of Czechoslovak political parties at the time of the First Republic. In particular, it will analyze campaigns before the parliamentary elections with special emphasis on the 1925 and 1935 elections, in which question of national minorities emerged most clearly. The 1925 elections were important in the minority issue, mainly because of the current issue of enforcing the language law in the context of strengthening the positions of German activism. In the 1930's, on the other hand, the influence of negative national extremist movements intensified as well as the conflict with the Sudeten German Party. The work will focus on the Republican and Communist Party campaigns at their national and regional level. Apart from the secondary historical and political literature, the author will be based mainly on periodical press and party programs. Keywords: elections, election campaign, minority issue, First Czechoslovak Republic, political parties
