Centre for Poland
Political party in Poland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Centre for Poland (Polish: Centrum dla Polski) is a Polish conservative[3][4] political party. It was formed on 2 May 2022 by the former Civic Platform MPs and the local government activists affiliated with the Polish Coalition. The goal of the group is to unify the conservative wing of the Coalition and to attract young conservative voters.[5] In the summer of 2024, Hubert Cichocki, senator Kazimierz Michał Ujazdowski, and Marek Tokarczyk and Jacek Wojnicki, among others, left the party. They resumed (in cooperation with Aleksander and Katarzyna Hall) the activities of the think tank "Centrum Dobrego Państwa".
