Gradually, Tripalo rose to enough prominence to join second generation of top Communist officials in Yugoslavia. They were, under tacit blessing of Josip Broz Tito, supposed to introduce various economic and political reforms in late 1960s. Tripalo, together with Savka Dabčević-Kučar, became one of the leaders of Croatian Communist Party.

In 1970 Tripalo and Savka introduced new Party platform that demanded more autonomy for Croatia within Yugoslavia. Croatia (Hrvatska ˈxȓvatska officially the Republic of Croatia ( Republika Hrvatska) is a southern Central European country at the crossroads between The platform was promoted through mass ralies, soon becoming a popular movement, later called Croatian Spring. The Croatian Spring (Hrvatsko proljeće also called masovni pokret or MASPOK, for "mass movement" was a political movement from the early 1970s that called Savka and Tripalo became the most popular politicians in Croatia at the time.

New policy was opposed by more conservative elements of the Party and Yugoslav People's Army and also created a lot of ethnic tensions in parts of Croatia with large Serb minority. The Yugoslav People's Army (JNA YPA ( Serbo-Croatian, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian: Jugoslavenska Narodna Armija or Jugoslovenska That, and Croatian students making even more radical demands, finally led Tito to openly turn against Savka and Tripalo at Karađorđevo Party conference in December 1971. Savka and Tripalo were quickly removed from their Party position and, ultimately, from public life.

In 1989, with an arrival of multi-party democracy in Croatia, Tripalo re-emerged in Croatian politics as one of the top opposition figures. He published a book called Croatian Spring, claiming that the movement, previously known as Maspok, was inspired by Prague Spring and extinguished in the same manner. The Prague Spring ( Czech: Pražské jaro, Slovak: Pražská jar) was a period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia during

Tripalo and Savka believed themselves to be the obvious leaders of Croatian opposition, although they refused to form their own party. Instead, they initiated creation of Coalition of People's Accord - a broad alliance of mostly moderate nationalist parties - whom they led during 1990 parliamentary elections. Coalition of People's Accord (Croatian Koalicija narodnog sporazuma, KNS was the bloc of mostly moderate Nationalist parties formed on the eve of first multi-party First free multi-party elections for Croatian Parliament were held between April 22 and May 7 1990. Their hopes were soon extinguished due to electoral law favouring only two strongest parties, one of them being Croatian Communist Party, recently rebranded into Social Democratic Party of Croatia. League of Communists of Croatia (Savez komunista Hrvatske SKH was the Croatian branch of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (SKJ The Social Democratic Party of Croatia (Socijaldemokratska partija Hrvatske is the main Social democratic political party in Croatia.

Few months later, in Autumn of 1990, Tripalo and Savka finally initiated creation of their own party that would later become Croatian People's Party. The Croatian People's Party – Liberal Democrats (Hrvatska narodna stranka – Liberalni Demokrati HNS is a liberal party in Croatia.

In next few years, Tripalo, always in the shadow of more charismatic and more popular Savka, was begin to distance himself from his long-term political partner. This became apparent after 1992 and Savka's failure at parliamentary and presidential elections, events that coincided with the rise of hardline nationalist faction within HDZ. The second free multi-party elections for Croatian Parliament were held on August 2nd 1992 in conjunction with the 1992 presidential election. First Presidential elections under new 1990 Constitution of the republic of Croatia, held 1992 by popular vote Tripalo, unlike Savka, was increasingly troubled by the prospect of Croatia shifting to the far and even more by the prospects of HNS not being opposed to certain tendencies associated with far right. In 1994 he left HNS and joined newly formed left-wing party called Social Democratic Action of Croatia (ASH). Social Democratic Action of Croatia (Akcija socijaldemokrata Hrvatske ASH is a left-wing political party in Croatia The party failed to make much of an impact on 1995 parliamentary elections. Elections for the Chamber of Representatives of the Croatian Parliament were held on October 29 1995.

Tripalo, faced with deteriorating health, died few years later.
