Abstract
Labour Party is a Polish Christian – democratic party which from the moment of its foundation (1937) remained in opposition to the Sanacja government and later contributed to the creation of the Polish government in exile (1939-1945). In consequence, after WWII the Labour Party became one of the most important opposition parties strongly emphasizing the necessity for Polish sovereignty. The programme from 1937 proposed a return to close alliance with France, cooperartion with the League of Nations and finally formation of Central Eastern European Nations Federation. This last idea became the essential aspect of the Labour Party’s foreign policy, which was touched in the National Council (by M. Kwiatkowski, S. Sopicki, Z. Kaczyński, T. Kiełpiński). The idea was continued by the Labour Party which proposed the formation of the Central European Union (‘Programme Deliberations of the Labour Party’) uniting all countries from this region that belong to Latin civilization (the influence of Koneczny’s deliberations).
The Labour Party did not abandon the concept even after 1945 when political conditions changed. The idea, however, was never put into practice. In 1946 the Labour Party was controlled by post communist activists and denied the possibility of independent action including the formulation of postulates associated with foreign policy programmes.
