The Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), Your Movement (Twój Ruch) and the Greens have formed a coalition that will run in the October general elections.
"This is a coalition of minds, not hearts," said Barbara Nowacka, a co-chairman of Your Movement.
“Regardless of various matters and occurrences, we believe that the Polish right has to be faced head on” commented Leszek Miller, head of the Democratic Left Alliance. “And this can be done in a much more energetic and convincing manner if we go forward in the form of a coalition of various political parties and players,” he added.
Nowacka assured that she hopes the coalition will garner ten or more percent. Coalitions need 8 percent to enter parliament.
The formation is likely to run under "The United Left" name.
