Democratic Left Association

The Democratic Left Association (Polish: Stowarzyszenie Lewicy Demokratycznej) is a Polish political association created by former New Left members who left the The Left coalition and parliamentary group after a conflict with the coalition's leadership. The association was formed with intention to continue the legacy of the Democratic Left Alliance, while maintaining close ties with New Left's biggest ideological rivals — the Labour Union.[3] Jerzy Teichert, a former local government activist and a former member of SLD was selected as a president of the association, while Robert Kwiatkowski, a member of the Sejm elected on the list of The Left, became vice-president.
