New Democracy – Yes
Polish political party
New Democracy – Yes (Polish: Nowa Demokracja TAK, ND–T) is a progressive political movement in Poland formed by Marek Materek, the president of Starachowice formerly associated with the Civic Platform and Polish People's Party. The party campaigns on breaking the Polish political "duopoly" of the United Right and Civic Coalition and wishes to appeal to undecided voters and those who would not vote otherwise. The party focuses on reforming and decentralising the Polish administration while supporting regional movements and autonomy proposals, and is composed of local mayors and regional activists. The party is highly critical of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party for causing the Polish constitutional crisis, and wishes to restore "the real dimension of democracy" in Poland.
The party mainly campaigns and appeals to local politicians such as mayors, councillors and city mayors, as well as regional activists, promising local and welfare reform. Alongside local activists, the party mainly unites politicians formerly associated with left-wing parties such as the Democratic Left Alliance and Your Movement. The party has a left-wing political outlook and aligns with the opposition parties such as Civic Platform and Poland 2050, and the leader of the party offered a joint anti-PiS list for the Polish Senate. In June 2023, the party entered a coalition with the agrarian socialist movement AGROunion. The new coalition focuses on issues such as welfare reform, construction of rental housing, free public transport, reduction of food prices, and empowering Polish regions. On 16 September 2023, the coalition of New Democracy – Yes and AGROunia officially ended as AGROunia joined the Civic Coalition.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “New Democracy – Yes” as polish political party. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as polish political party. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q121305898. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2050 and 2023.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
