The Polish Left (Polish: Polska Lewica) is a political term for the left-wing political party in Poland.
Former Prime Minister Leszek Miller announced the formation of the Polish Left on September 20, 2007. In his announcement, Miller said that the new party would be a "true leftist" alternative to the Left and Democrats political parties.
The Polish Left party was formed when the Prime Minister and many other members of parliament withdrew from the Democratic Left Alliance, which Miller had headed for many years. His departure from the DLA also served as a public protest against the policies of party leaders, regarded by the protesters as not liberal enough.
Miller was the leader of the Polish Left party (2001-2004).[1] Other prominent members are the former Secretary General of the DLA, Marek Dyduch, and former Sejm Member Krzysztof Jagiełło.
