Fourth Polish Republic


Fourth Polish Republic, a plan for moral revolution and political change put forth in 1997 by the Polish conservative philosopher Rafał Matyja in the magazine "Nowe Państwo". "Fourth Republic" was a political slogan used by the right-leaning Law and Justice party in the 2005 Polish parliamentary election.
According to PiS, the current Third Polish Republic is a post-communist creation whose very foundations must be changed to create a truly democratic state free of its past.
“IV RP”, along with its derivate, “V RP”, has also been used by the critics to satirize the concept of unnecessary constitutional changes made for arbitrary reasons.
