The Communist Party of Poland (Polish Komunistyczna partia Polski, KPP short ) is a communist political party that was founded in 2002, but sees itself in the tradition of the existing 1918 and 1938, Communist Party of Poland.
History
The Communist Party of Poland is a political party that was founded in July 2002 ( registered on October 9, 2002). The current chairman is Krzysztof Szwej (predecessor: Józef Łachut ).
The CPP was founded by officials who came into a significant part of the Union of Polish communist proletariat after the party ban for these came into force.
On July 24, 2005, she wrote the election agreement with the parties to the extra-parliamentary left: the RPP, the Polish Ecological Party - the Green Party, the Polish Party of Labour (PPA ) and the Polish Socialist Party (PPS).
In the Polish Parliament Elections in 2005 she ran as part of the connection list of the Polish Party of Labour together with the anti- clerical party of progress " Račja ", the Polish Ecological Party - the Green Party and the Polish Socialist Party. The electoral list won 91 266 votes (0.77 % support on a national scale ). The KPP alone, however, won 2106 votes or 0.02 % of support across the country.
Supported by the party's candidate for the Polish presidential elections in 2005 should be Prof. Maria Szyszkowska, but her election staff had not collected the sufficient number of signatures, which would have allowed her candidacy. That is why you supported the candidacy of Daniel Podrzycki who ultimately did not participate in the elections because of a death.
Also in the parliamentary elections in Poland in 2007 the party supported the PPA.
Policy program
The CPP represents a communist program, which is based on permanent, Marxist- Leninist principles, as she says, to " radical transformations of society, the economy and the political system " ( the nationalization of industry and the large estates, replacing the parliamentary democracy a democracy that is based on direct election of representatives, who comes from the workforces of workplaces ). It calls ideological freedom, equality of women and men, particularly in the area of employment and education of children. It rejects Poland's participation in NATO and the European Union.
The KPP glorified Josef Stalin as jako " liberator of nations," and Kim Jong- Il as the " Great Leader ".
Activity of the CPP in the light of Polish law
