National Labour Party (Czechoslovakia, 1925)

The National Labour Party (Czech: Národní strana práce) was a minor political party in Czechoslovakia, founded in 1925. It emerged from a split within the Czechoslovak Socialist Party (later renamed the National Socialist Party), representing a more right-leaning, nationalist, and economically liberal faction. The party’s platform advocated for social reforms but within a framework of national unity and a strong state. It generally supported private enterprise while recognizing the need for some state intervention in the economy.

The party's support base was primarily among white-collar workers, small business owners, and some intellectuals. It never achieved significant electoral success and remained a marginal force in Czechoslovak politics throughout its existence.

Key figures associated with the party included Jaroslav Stránský, a prominent journalist and politician who had previously been a leader in the Czechoslovak Socialist Party.

The National Labour Party participated in several coalition governments during the First Republic (1918-1938), though its influence remained limited. The party was dissolved following the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939.
