Poland 2050

Szymon Hołownia's Poland 2050 (, PL2050) is a centrist political party in Poland. It was founded as a social movement in 2020, shortly after that year's presidential election, and was officially registered as a political party in April 2021. In the years prior to the 2023 Polish parliamentary election eight MPs defected to Poland 2050 in the Sejm, and after its first national electoral test the party finished in third place and is expected to form part of the incoming Polish government. It is ideologically supportive of environmentalist policies and Christian democratic principles, and it also combines some elements of liberalism, social democracy, conservatism, and patriotism. History The first indication that Szymon Hołownia planned to establish a social movement appeared in February 2020, when he led a campaign for the 2020 presidential election. Hołownia officially announced the formation of a new movement on 30 June 2020, two days after the first round of elections, in which he was placed 3rd with a result of less than 14% of votes. The organisation was registered on 24 August 2020, and five days later it was officially introduced. According to Szymon Hołownia, 20,000 people joined the movement.
