Communist Party of Poland returns to register

The decision was based on a judgment of the illegally operating so-called "Constitutional Tribunal." The Party said that the judgment has not been published, so it cannot serve as a legal basis for banning a political party. Legal action was taken to completely invalidate the judgment. The KPP operates legally and remains a registered political party.

In another initiative to support KPP, 124 intellectuals, trade union, political and social activists from France signed an appeal against the delegalization of the Communist Party of Poland by the so-called "Constitutional Tribunal" in Poland.

The petition was delivered to the Polish Ambassador to France. The signatories of the appeal point out the unconstitutionality of the ban and its false foundations, including the ahistorical equation of communism with fascism. The letter stated, among other things:

"Although the Constitution of the Republic of Poland does not provide for a ban on the activity of political parties for ideological reasons, but only for the use of methods deemed 'undemocratic', the decision to ban the KPP was made under the pretext that its ideology is contrary to the 'Constitution of the Republic of Poland' as well as to 'fundamental human values ​​and traditions of European and Christian civilization".

"We assure the KPP activists of our full solidarity and demand that this decision not be implemented and then repealed, because it violates the freedom of speech and contradicts the 'political pluralism' that the Polish state has been proud of since 1989," the signatories of the letter emphasized.
