The Polish Green Party (Partia Zieloni), founded in 2003, for over a decade and a half failed to gain parliamentary representation. Only recently, thanks to its effective repositioning in the party system and transitioning from the left-wing to the grand centre-right coalition,听the party won its first three seats in the 2019 parliamentary election. Additionally, from 2020, as a result of an affiliation change by one left-wing Polish MEP, there is also a representative of Poland in the Green Group in the European Parliament. 顿谤听碍飞颈补迟办辞飞蝉办补听will present the profile of the Green Party in Poland,听including the ideological stance, organization and participation in elections, with a focus on explaining the path that led to the party鈥檚 electoral success. Finally, she will听demonstrate the potential of the听strategy of political repositioning which was made possible as a result of changes听in the Polish party system following the process of de-democratization.
