Poland Has Officially Banned The Communist Party

The party has existed in the country for more than 20 years.

Poland's Constitutional Tribunal has ruled to ban the activities of the Communist Party RP, recognizing that its program and ideology contradict the provisions of the Polish constitution.

It was reported by RMF24.

The court ruled that the political force should be immediately removed from the official register of parties. This effectively means the termination of its existence and the liquidation of the organization.

In announcing the decision, the judges stressed that given the crimes of the communist regime and the millions of victims of repression, the party's activities are unacceptable in a democratic legal system.

"There is no place in Polish law for a party that glorifies the crimes of the communist regime," the tribunal said.

The ruling is the result of a years-long process. The issue of liquidating the Communist Party of Poland was first initiated back in 2020 at the level of the prosecutor general. In November this year, Polish President Karol Nawrocki resubmitted the relevant request.

The Communist Party of Poland was established in 2002. According to various estimates, its numbers ranged from a few hundred to about a thousand members.

The tribunal's decision puts an end to the history of this force, which has remained marginal throughout the years but has repeatedly attracted attention because of its ideological stance.
