Resolution No XI / 11 / 2023
XI National gathering of Delegates
Association Committee for Democracy Defence
of 25 June 2023
on taking the position of the Association Committee for the Defence of Democracy on the creation of a single joint list of candidates for democratic opposition in parliamentary elections
§ 1. Acting on the basis of § 27.15 of the Association's Statute, the Committee for the Defence of Democracy, the National Assembly of Delegates takes the position that only the creation of a single joint list of candidates for democratic opposition completely eliminates the hazard of losing to any of the election committees moving separately and to an absolute degree ensures that these committees enter the Sejm of Poland.
Due to the d’Hondt method in the Polish Electoral Order, the creation of a common list will give the best possible electoral result, and thus the best chance to reconstruct the regulation of law in Poland, with all this beneficial social, economical and geopolitical consequences.
We trust that in these most crucial elections in the 3rd Republic of Poland, political leaders and politicians of democratic opposition, in the construction of electoral lists will prove to be wise, as well as liable for the destiny of our homeland – Poland.
§ 2. The resolution shall enter into force on the date of adoption.

DECLARATION OF Polish citizens
of 29 June 2023
The Polish citizens share the position adopted by the XI National Assembly of the CODE Association Delegates on the request to issue a common list of candidates for democratic opposition in the parliamentary elections and will join actions to implement this request.
However, our trust in the wisdom and work of politicians is limited. There is inactive no common list, although the reasons why it is necessary, are long known and recognized by the large majority of voters of all opposition parties. The task of the civilian movement, which wants to uphold democratic values, is to have real control and to have a real impact on their formation. There'll be a time for trust.
We so see the urgent request to meet, discuss and take possible action in favour of a joint list in elections. We have done a lot together for democracy and the regulation of law, and present the request for joint action is peculiarly great. Meet me in the group of movements and organizations that have been tested respective times.
