The Social Movement (Polish: Ruch Społeczny, RS) was a Christian-democratic political party in Poland.
The party was established in December 1997 by non-party independents affiliated with the Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS) coalition.
The two AWS leaders, Marian Krzaklewski and Jerzy Buzek, joined the party and were its first two chairmen.
After the election, AWS' member Buzek formed a coalition government, which comprised also the liberal Freedom Union and included another RS leading member, Janusz Tomaszewski, among its deputy prime ministers.
In the 2000 presidential election Krzaklewski, as AWS' official candidate, won 15.6% of the vote, but a large chunk of the coalition, especially activists of the more liberal Conservative People's Party, had supported the independent candidate Andrzej Olechowski,[2] who won 17.3% of the vote.
