Summary/Abstract: In May 1899, the People’s Liberal (Stambolovist) Party holds its first congress. The congress longs three days and in it take place representatives of the local organizations, the elected in the 10th Common People’s Assembly representatives — Stambolovists and the Central Bureau. The representative forum considers questions of extraordinary importance for the party. The carried out discussions and the taken decisions show typical tendencies in the organizational construction within the party relationships and politics. Because of the unprincipled position of the congress, imposed by the main leadership and confirming the junction with the Liberal Party (practically nullified only two months after), this important fact from the history of the party is quite consciously and purposefully concealed by its members. Because of this, the problem is not enough discussed in the literature, which provokes the writing of the present article.
