manifestowa

Manifestowa is a Polish political party founded in 2015 by Robert Biedroń, a former member of the Law and Justice party. The party's name is a portmanteau of "manifest" and "nowa," meaning "new" in Polish. Manifestowa is known for its progressive stance on social issues, including LGBTQ+ rights, women's rights, and environmental protection. The party also advocates for a more decentralized and participatory form of democracy, emphasizing direct democracy and local self-governance.

Manifestowa has been described as a centrist to center-left party, with a focus on social justice and human rights. The party has gained significant support among younger voters and those disillusioned with the traditional political parties in Poland. However, it has also faced criticism for its perceived lack of clear economic policies and its relatively small electoral base.

In the 2019 Polish parliamentary election, Manifestowa won 1.6% of the vote, failing to secure any seats in the Sejm. The party has since focused on building its grassroots support and expanding its influence through local and regional elections. Despite its relatively small size, Manifestowa has been influential in shaping the political discourse in Poland, particularly on issues related to social justice and human rights.
