They compared activities of parties, on the one hand, and of NGOs and social movements, on the other; presented transformations of the right-wing and left-wing parties during the decade; analyzed women’s participation in Polish party politics and the problem of party leadership’s attitudes towards Polish "reason of the state".

The party's founding members and leadership are mostly from the ranks of the defunct party Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS), which held the government between 1997 and 2001, and other conservative to centrist groups, with some coming from he more liberal Freedom Union (UW).
Although nominally led by Janusz Steinhoff, formerly minister of economic affairs in the government of Jerzy Buzek, the main figurehead of the party is its honorary chairman and presidential candidate, senator Zbigniew Religa.

 POLAND'S ELECTIONS:
Lech Kaczynski – The Head of the Capital Is Ready to Head the State
(32-34%)
The twin brother of Jaroslav Kaczynski (the leader of the "Law and Justice" (Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc - PiS) party that won in the last parliamentary elections on September, 25, 2005), he was born in Warsaw, on June, 18, 1949.
Polish patriotism does not allow him to agree to the creation of a certain "uniform European commonness" and, therefore, he insists on the federal division within the Union, granting considerable authority to national governments, including carrying out of an independent foreign policy.
It was under his initiative that the City council of Warsaw accepted in March, 2005, the decision on renaming one of the squares of the Polish capital to the name of the former Chechen President, Johar Dudaev, who was killed by the Russians in 1995.

 POLAND'S ELECTIONS
Kaczynski Brothers: Movie Stars That Turned Politicians
Polish patriotism does not let the brothers agree to the creation of a sort of " sole European community", and, that's why they insist on a federal system type union providing many rights to national governments – including the right of conducting independent foreign policy.
The answer of the Polish opposition, including PiS, became the condemnation of this attempt to pretend that Germany's population was the victim of WWII.
Taking into consideration that both parties are the most amenable partners for a future coalition, it can be stated today that a community of opinions and permanency will characterize the foreign policy of the future Polish government.

 Poland Chooses--What's at Stake
If some members of his Centrum, or Center Alliance (which is a misnomer), or allies even further to the right begin to ask questions about the real or imaginary Jewish origins of the "Warsaw set" backing Mazowiecki, he will do nothing to lose the votes this may bring him.
Polish workers deeply resent the patronizing proclivities of the intelligentsia and the decade-long carping about Walesa's idiosyncratic speech habits.
For such a revival one must look to a resurrection of the alliance that was glimpsed ten years ago between workers rediscovering their power and large sections of the intelligentsia joining them in a common search for mastery over society and their own lives.

I think that Mo?cicki decided to enter Polish politics and give up his brilliant career as a scientist in Switzerland not for the fulfillment of his own ambitions but because he had a sense of higher calling and the need to do it for his country.
My experience of party life obliges me to say that I am not fit for it—that there are different interests inside one party, and its resolutions do not always match my vision of Poland and the way I want to act.
I still think that the Polish nation should have an opportunity to express its view on the constitution and the future of the EU in a referendum.

By devising curricula, training teachers, and assisting local governments in education policy-making, Strzemieczny's team of 50 educators nationwide is helping students and teachers in a young democracy learn the value of social responsibility and involvement in public life.
The problem was and still is compounded by the Polish education system, which has traditionally used teachers to feed students information without engaging them in discourse.
The center, which Strzemieczny calls the "biggest innovative attempt in Polish schools," grew out of a project started in 1991, when he was director of teacher training at the National Ministry of Education.
