Poland’s Communist Party declared unlawful by constitutional court
December 4, 2025



The Constitutional Tribunal (TK) has ruled that the Communist Party of Poland (KPP) violates the country’s constitution. That should lead to the KPP being outlawed, though the TK itself faces questions over its own legality, which complicates the situation.

“There is no place in the Polish legal system for a party that glorifies criminals and communist regimes responsible for the deaths of millions of human beings, including our compatriots, Polish citizens,” said Constitutional Tribunal (TK) judge Krystyna Pawłowicz in the justification for the ruling.

The decision comes almost exactly five years after Poland’s former justice minister and prosecutor general, Zbigniew Ziobro, submitted a request to the TK to have the KPP outlawed. Last month, the current president, Karol Nawrocki, also filed his own such application.

The KPP was established in 2002 and claims to be the successor to the Communist Party that existed in Poland before World War Two, rather than the Soviet-backed Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR) that ruled Poland after the war until 1989. The KPP has no elected representative and very little public visibility.

That's the way to do it -- from the nation that was seminal in propogating the downfall of Euro-communism in the late 1980's.

What I say next is going to grate on many here, but I'm sayin' it anyway:
Some parties, some "speech" MUST be outlawed, if the rest of our "speech" -- and our very society, cultural and economic systems -- are to remain free.

There are limits ... to everything... that must be enforced.

Apply what I have posted above to islam.
Does that change anything?

Sorry if you didn't like this post.

Any party whose platform is hostile to a nation's liberties and existence must be banned.

That's a very slippery slope to head down.

Well said!!

No Communist Party has ever made a country better.

* And in Poland's case, it's a back-door for Russian spying & dirty tricks.

Good riddance.

America's mistake is that we did not ban the communists 80 years ago when we had a chance.

A lot of slopes are communists.

Uh huh.  And who gets to decide which political parties to ban because we don’t like what they have to say?

Should Israel allow a Nazi Party to run for election to the Knesset?

Yes, this is a serious question.

Why or why not?
