Real Europe Movement
Real Europe Movement – Europa Christi (RPE) is a Polish right-wing political party led by Mirosław Piotrowski. It was founded in November 2018 and formally registered on 12 February 2019. The party split from Law and Justice and is based in Lublin. Since 31 March 2023, it has cooperated with Confederation Liberty and Independence.
RPE’s platform centers on Christian values. It opposes abortion, euthanasia, and LGBT ideology, while promoting strong families and a Europe of Nations with fewer EU rules. It supports protecting the Polish countryside and environment, and wants to limit the influence of large foreign retailers. The party opposes a European army and favors the NATO alliance with the United States.
In the European Parliament, RPE is aligned with the European Conservatives and Reformists. In 2022, its leader signed a declaration blaming Ukraine and NATO for the conflict. The party has had limited electoral impact: in 2019 it planned to run in the European Parliament but withdrew; it fielded three Senate candidates in Poland’s 2019 elections who together received about 0.2% of the national vote. Piotrowski ran for president in 2020 and finished with about 0.1%. In 2023, the party joined Confederation’s lists, and in 2024 Piotrowski ran on a Confederation list in the Lublin district for the European Parliament but did not win a seat.
