Christian-Peasant Party



The Christian-Peasant Party (, SLCh) was a center-right agrarian Polish political party functioning in the early-middle 1990s, between 5 April 1991 and 17 May 1992 as the Polish People's Party "Solidarity" (, PSL "S").

History
Initially as Polish People's Party "Solidarity", the party was created in the spring of 1989 as a political branch of Rural Solidarity under Józef Ślisz. During the party's 2nd Extraordinary Congress on 16 May 1992, the party rebranded as the Christian-Peasant Party. In 1992, Artur Balazs, who was a representative of Rural Solidarity at the Round Table Agreement came to power in the party. In the Autumn of 1992, a "rightwing" splinter of SLCh defected to the National Party "Fatherland". On many issues, it closely aligned with the Conservative Party, which it later united with in 1997 to form the Conservative People's Party.

Ideology
SLCh described itself as a center-right post-Solidarity party pledged to Christian and family values. It supported traditional multi-generational household farming, privatization involving a large amount of farmers, which would take control of the agriculture industry. It advocated for agrarian policies and government intervention in the matters of agriculture.
