The Polish People's Union (Polish: Polskie Zjednoczenie Ludowe, PZL) was a political party in Poland.
History
[edit]The party was established in Congress Poland in 1917 as the "United Party", but was renamed PZL in 1918 after several members defected to the Polish People's Party "Piast".[1] The party contested the January 1919 elections to elect the first Sejm of the Second Polish Republic. It received 3.8% of the vote, winning 35 seats.[2]
However, it split in August 1919, with some members joining National People's Union and others joining Polish People's Party "Wyzwolenie".[3]
