Lanckorona Pact

Lanckorona Pact (Template:Lang-pl) was an agreement between Polish center (PSL Piast) and right wing parties (Związek Ludowo-Narodowy and Polskie Stronnictwo Chrześcijańskiej Demokracji) on 17 May 1923 in Warsaw.^[1]

The politicians of those parties agreed to pursue stricter polonization policies and to increase the role of Catholic Church in the state.

The agreement led to the dimission of the government of Wladyslaw Sikorski and creation of the Chjeno-Piast coalition on 28 May, with the new government of Wincenty Witos. Former Polish chief of state, Jozef Pilsudski, also resigned his governmental posts in protest.

Notes

^ Some sources incorrectly state that the Pact was signed in Lanckorona. The name comes from the fact that the Pact was signed in the house of a representative of Lanckorona district - but in Warsaw.
