Movement of Workers and Peasants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Movement of Workers and Peasants (Serbian: Покрет Радника и Сељака, romanized: Pokret radnika i seljaka, PRS) was a left-wing political party in Serbia. It was founded in October 2011 by Zoran Dragišić and appears to have become inactive following the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election.
Dragišić had previously been the leader of a small party called the Independent Social Democrats (Nezavisni Socijaldemokrata, NSD), which had merged into the newly formed Social Democratic Party of Serbia (Socijaldemokratska partija Srbije, SDPS) in 2009.[1][2] He later became disappointed with the SDPS's direction and left the party to form a new organization.
He was chosen as the leader of the Movement of Workers and Peasants at the party's founding convention in October 2011. At the time, he indicated that the party's purpose would be to "give the state back to the people" and noted that it was supported by a number of worker organizations, including Serbia's Union of Raspberry Producers, the Farmers' Association, and the Pig Breeders of Srem and Mačva.[3]
