Change (party)

Common card · No. 436514

Change (Polish: Zmiana) is an unregistered left-wing political party in Poland. The party was founded on 21 February 2015 by Mateusz Piskorski, a former vice-president and spokesman of Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland. The party calls for rapprochement between Poland and Russia, and supports Russia in the Russo-Ukrainian War. In 2016, Piskorski was arrested on charges of espionage for Russia, Iraq and China. Piskorski was later released in 2019 on bail. Zmiana calls for a Polish exit from NATO, the abolition of capitalism, and establishment of an economy based on socialist and communist ideals. Zmiana officially has never been registered as a political party because it was refused a registration by a court. It is commonly accused of being a "Russian fifth column" by Polish right-leaning politicians and the press.
