Centre Agreement – Polish Union

The Centre Agreement – Polish Union (Polish: Porozumienie Centrum – Zjednoczenie Polskie, PC-ZP) was a Christian-democratic electoral alliance in Poland. It united the Centre Agreement (PC), Third Republic Movement (RTR), Christian-Democratic Labour Faction (ChDSP), Party of Fidelity to the Republic (SWR-KSN) (a Confederation of Independent Poland splinter)[2] and Regional Agreement RdR.[3]
History
The PC-ZP coalition was founded on 19 June 1993 during failed negotiations with the Movement for the Republic (RdR), which later formed its own coalition, the Coalition for the Republic (KdR). The two coalitions competed for the same group of voters, and remained divided largely due to "personal issues", such as foreseen allocation of cabinet positions, candidate placement on electoral lists and personal rivalry between PC leader Jarosław Kaczyński and RdR leader Jan Olszewski. It also failed, like KdR, to unite the Polish People's Party – Peasants' Agreement (PSL-PL) under its flag.
The coalition ran a similar campaign to that of KdR, being in support of lustration and in opposition to the neocommunist party (Democratic Left Alliance, SLD) and liberal parties (Democratic Union, UD, Liberal Democratic Congress, KLD).
In the 1993 Polish parliamentary election, the only election the coalition contested in, it registered as a party, and thus only needed 5% of valid votes to pass the electoral threshold (as opposed to 8% needed for registered coalitions), which it failed to cross regardless, gathering only 4.42% of valid votes.
