Polish Labour Party - August 80

The Polish Labour Party - August 80 (Polish: Polska Partia Pracy-Sierpień 80, PPP) was a minor left-wing[2] to far-left[3] political party in Poland, describing itself as socialist.

It was created on 11 November 2001 as the Alternative – Labour Party (Alternatywa – Partia Pracy) and acquired its new name of Polish Labour Party (Polska Partia Pracy) in 2004, before adding the suffix -August 80 (Sierpień 80) on 20 November 2009.

It was opposed to Polish involvement in the European Union and supported increased cooperation with Poland's eastern neighbours, free education and health care, free (state funded) contraception and abortions, recognition of same-sex civil unions, the withdrawal of Polish troops from Iraq, the elimination of conscription and the introduction of a professional military, and the introduction of a 35-hour working week.

The PPP also advocated a withdrawal from the concordat between the Polish state and the Catholic Church.
