The party emerged from a division at the Tenth Party Congress of theBulgarian Social Democratic Workers Party held in 1903 (the other faction forming theBulgarian Social Democratic Workers' Party (Narrow Socialists)). The 'Broad Socialist' faction had appeared inside the pre-split party around 1900, whenYanko Sakazov had started the magazineObshto delo ('Common Action'). The Broad Socialists, analogous to theMensheviks in theRussian Social Democratic Labour Party, argued in favour a broad social base of the party and broad class alliances.

The grouping would function as a leftwing tendency inside the Broad Socialist party for the years to come. (Full article...) Did you know(auto-generated)
