- Polish People's Party "Piast"
Polish People's Party "Piast" ["Piast" refers to the medieval Polish dynasty, the Piast dynasty.] or Polish Peasant Party "Piast" (Polish: "Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe" "Piast", abbreviated "PSL Piast") can refer to two parties, one from the interwar period of the Second Polish Republic (1913-1931), and a recent once founded in 2006.
PSL Piast (1913-1931)
PSL Piast was an important political party in the Second Polish Republic. It was created in 1913 and, after Poland regained independence in 1918, it formed a part of several governments, most notably after the Lanckorona Pact and in the Chjeno-Piast coalition. In 1931 it formed the "Stronnictwo Ludowe" ("People's Party"). Its major politicians included: Wincenty Witos, Jakub Bojko, Jan Dąbski, Maciej Rataj and Władysław Kiernik.
PSL Piast (2006-present)
In 2006 a split in the modern PSL party led to the creation of a new entity which assumed the same name. Its major politicians include Zdzisław Podkański, Janusz Wojciechowski and Zbigniew Kuźmiuk.
