The Communist Party of Poland (Polish: Komunistyczna Partia Polski , KPP for short) is a communist political party that was founded in 2002, but sees itself in the tradition of the Communist Party of Poland , which existed from 1918 to 1938 .

history

The Communist Party of Poland is a political party founded in July 2002 (registered on October 9, 2002). The current chairman is Krzystof Szwej.

The CPP was founded by functionaries, a significant part of whom came from the League of Polish Communists Proletariat , after the party ban came into force for them.

On July 24, 2005, she signed the electoral agreement with the parties of the extra-parliamentary left: the RPP , the Polish Ecological Party - the Greens , the Polish Labor Party (PPA) and the Polish Socialist Party (PPS) .

In the Polish parliamentary elections in 2005 she ran under the list of the Polish Labor Party together with the Anti-Clerical Progressive Party “RACJA” , the Polish Ecological Party - the Greens and the Polish Socialist Party. The electoral list won 91,266 votes (0.77% support on a national scale). The CPP alone won 2,106 votes, representing 0.02% of support across the country.

The party-supported candidate for the Polish presidential elections in 2005 was supposed to be Prof. Maria Szyszkowska , but her electoral staff did not collect the sufficient number of signatures to make her candidacy possible. That is why they supported the candidacy of Daniel Podrzycki , who ultimately did not take part in the elections due to a death.

The party also supported the PPA in the parliamentary elections in Poland in 2007 .

Political program

The CPP represents a communist program that is based on permanent, Marxist-Leninist foundations, as it says itself, on "radical changes in society, the economy and the political system" (the nationalization of industry and large estates, the replacement of parliamentary ones Democracy through a democracy based on direct election of representatives from among the workforce in the workplace). It demands ideological freedom, equal rights for women and men, especially in the area of ​​employment and the upbringing of children. She rejects Poland's participation in NATO and the European Union .

The CPP describes Josef Stalin as the “Liberator of Nations” and Kim Jong-Il as the “Great Leader”.

Activities of the KPP in the light of Polish law

Article 13 of the Polish Constitution of the Third Polish Republic forbids the existence of political parties and other organizations which, in their programs, refer to totalitarian methods and practices of National Socialism , Fascism and Communism , and also those whose programs or activities are racial and national hatred , presupposes or permits the use of force with the aim of gaining control or influence over the politics of the state or provides for the concealment of structures and membership.

The existence and activity of communist parties in Poland is legal as long as they relate to the communist system ( ideology ) itself, with no totalitarian methods and practices. According to its own statements, today's CPP does not use totalitarian methods to spread the ideology.
