Lanckorona Pact

Lanckorona Pact

Lanckorona Pact ( _pl. Pakt lanckoroński) was an agreement between Polish center (PSL Piast) and right wing parties (primarily Związek Ludowo-Narodowy and Polskie Stronnictwo Chrześcijańskiej Demokracji and several smaller parties, known as the Christian Union of National Unity alliance or "Chjena") on 17 May 1923 in Warsaw. [Some sources incorrectly state that the Pact was signed in Lanckorona. The name comes from the fact that the Pact was signed in the house of a representative of Lanckorona district - but in Warsaw.]

The politicians of those parties agreed to pursue stricter polonization policies and to increase the role of Catholic Church in the state. [Wapiński 1980, 228.]

The agreement led to the dimission of the government of Władysław Sikorski and creation of the Chjeno-Piast coalition on 28 May, with the new government of Wincenty Witos. Former Polish chief of state, Józef Piłsudski, also resigned his governmental posts in protest.
