The Koalicja Obywatelska (KO) is a liberal-conservative political alliance in Poland. As a pro-European, center-right force, it combines liberal economic approaches with a strong commitment to rule of law principles and the country's Western integration.

Values and Ideology

The foundation of the KO is built upon the vision of a modern, democratic Poland, firmly anchored within the structures of the European Union and NATO. Its worldview is shaped by a commitment to civil liberties, a social market economy, and the separation of church and state. At its core, the KO is driven by the conviction that Poland's prosperity is inextricably linked to upholding the separation of powers and fostering close cooperation with Western partners. It views the state as a service provider that protects and promotes individual development.

Political Priorities

The KO's agenda focuses on fostering economic growth through deregulation, strengthening judicial independence, and implementing progressive environmental policies. It advocates for efficient public administration and the modernization of national infrastructure. Its target audience primarily includes urban populations, the educated middle class, entrepreneurs, and young professionals. The party champions the restoration of European legal standards to unlock crucial EU funds and positions itself socio-politically as a moderate-liberal alternative to conservative-nationalist forces.

Role in the Political System

Strategically, the KO acts as a guarantor of parliamentary democracy and a staunch defender of constitutional principles. Its relationship with state institutions is defined by the goal of reversing political interference in the judiciary and media. Within Poland's political system, it functions as the primary counterweight to national conservatism. Its role is that of a system-preserving force, aiming to ensure the stability of the rule of law and Poland's geopolitical security through international networking and pragmatic governance.
