Polish Peasant Party

The Polish Peasant Party (PSL) was a political organization in Poland, primarily representing rural farmers and agricultural interests. Founded in 1895, it aimed to promote the rights, landownership, and welfare of peasants and rural communities. The party advocated for land reforms, social justice, and policies supporting agriculture’s development. Throughout its history, PSL played a significant role in Polish politics, often aligning with other parties to influence government decisions, especially during periods of rebuilding Poland’s independence and following changes in governance. Its focus remained on strengthening rural economies and ensuring farmers’ voices were heard in policymaking.
