Forum Demokratyczne Unii Wolności — powstanie, krytyka działalności i upadek inicjatywy (9 października–11 grudnia 1994 r.)

Abstrakt

 

Freedom Union, a political formation which was created from the connection of the Democratic Union and the Liberal-Democratic Congress in spring 1994, was accused of being the continuation of DU’s idea and the difference between DU and FU was a regulation in the party’s statute which banned creating political factions. Conflicts among the members of the connected groups took place already during the first convention of the party. It turned out then, that there must be a place for various views on various themes in the party. The members were accused of switching to either left or right side of the political scene, for example through crypto-factions creation — Polish Liberal Group. As a result, party activists put forward a proposal to create Democratic Forum which main aim was to strengthen FU position on the political arena and to unify actions of the union members.
