A political party as an organized representation of the peasant movement is called a peasant party . Depending on the regional tradition and political lines of conflict, peasant parties are more inclined to social reform, socialist or national populist demands. In the 1920s, peasant parties in Europe were both catalysts for the political integration of the rural population and for autocratic changes in individual states.

background

The parties of the so-called “Green International” ( Werner Conze ) had their roots in agrarian (semi) feudal societies. They not only stood for peasant day-to-day or particular interests , but their land reform objectives harbored social-revolutionary potential. In their rhetoric , they were often anti-modern, anti-urban, anti-Semitic and anti-intellectual, some of them still today. In this respect, farmer parties often influenced the culture of the respective societies in the sense of petty-bourgeois ideas and resentments.

Immediately after the Second World War , the peasant parties in the states occupied by the Soviet Union grew into large mass movements in some cases (see e.g. the Hungarian FKGP ). This is to be regarded as the population's response to the impending establishment of socialist regimes in the states occupied by the Soviet Union: The broad population now fully subscribed to the social demands of the rural population, but took a clear position against the communist parties.

After the collapse of the People's Republics in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, peasant parties tried to build on their old successes. In general, however, this did not succeed or only in exceptional cases. While in individual states movements and parties with populist rhetoric were able to tie in with parts of the old cleavage structures in a problematic manner, other groups in the farmer's political spectrum approached the Christian Democratic parties . A specialty is the development in Latvia : Here the Latvian “Farmers' Association” LZS and the Green Party LZP entered into a civil-ecological alliance (under the name ZZS ) and were very successful in elections.
