Beloved Varaždin
Why did Pero love his city so much?
Pero Magdić did his internship in Varaždin in 1890. He was not born from Varaždin, but he especially loved that city after that. Thus, after starting his independent business, in 1898 he requested the citizenship of the Free and Royal City of Varaždin, at that time.
By obtaining citizenship, he was enabled to participate in elections and work in the City Council.
Thus, as a rightist, he worked against the regime of Ban Khuen-Héderváry. He supported the Rijeka resolution, but also the foundation of the Croatian-Serbian coalition.
