European Coalition (Poland)


The European Coalition was a short-lived political alliance and electoral list in Poland. It was established in 2019 by a group of former prime ministers and former foreign ministers, including Jerzy Buzek, Ewa Kopacz, Grzegorz Schetyna and Radosław Sikorski. They declared the will to construct "one broad list in European Parliament election, the aim of which would be to restore Poland's strong position in the European Union". The Coalition is to be pro-European and centrist.
Parties included in the coalition are the Democratic Left Alliance, The Greens, Now!, Civic Platform, Modern, Democratic Party, Polish People's Party, Union of European Democrats, Social Democracy of Poland, Liberty and Equality, League of Polish Families and Feminist Initiative.
The Coalition also gained the support from Barbara Nowacka and her movement, the Poland Initiative and civic organisation Committee for the Defence of Democracy.
The Coalition came in second place in the 2019 European Parliament election with 38.5% of the vote, returning 22 MEPs.
The disappointing results led the agrarian Polish People's Party to opt out of the coalition and set up the Polish Coalition instead, which should not include leftist parties.
