The party wants to focus primarily on agricultural problems, and represents the interests of farmers and the countryside at large.

[13] The party wants to continue the legacy of the Samoobrona's late leader Andrzej Lepper and presents a strongly left-wing stance, portraying itself as "the true left, the one that stands on the side of ordinary people".

[2] Filipek is a left-wing[8] politician formerly associated with agrarian socialist[15] Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland (Polish: Samoobrona Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej).

[2] The party established connections with agrarian trade unions, as well as organisations formed by other former Samoobrona members, such as a family farms association founded by Wacław Klukowski.

Crop failure combined with the African swine fever virus render farming completely unprofitable in Poland, causing radical and anti-government sentiment in the countryside.

[22] The party wished to mimick the campaign style of Samoobrona, with one media outlet stating that Filipek "has made himself into a Lepper".

[7] Samoobrona and PCh members fielded on SLD lists explained their decision by affirming their left-wing views and sympathy towards the Democratic Left Alliance.

It was established in September on the initiative of 42 farmers from several Polish provinces, and was entered in the register of labour associating by the Warsaw district court on 25 October.

The meeting resulted in a list of demands being presented which consisted of protectionist measures that would protect Polish agriculture from falling prices and the overflow of Ukrainian grain.

Proposals included a Polish-Ukrainian agreement that would impose quotas on the amount of Ukrainian commodities entering Poland.

Closely cooperating with agrarian trade unions and formerly Samoobrona-associated organisations, the party aspires to appeal to the left-wing rural electorate.

[7] Peasants' Party aspires to be "the real left", combining left-wing politics with agrarian issues and stanting "on the side of ordinary people".

[9] The party's leader, Krzysztof Filipek, argues that the PO-PSL (2007-2015) greatly neglected the needs of the workers and farmers; at the same time, he believes that the PiS government (2015-2023) was marked by social improvements that nevertheless failed to address the rural and agrarian issues.
