Abstract

The purpose of the article is to present the dilemmas of sociopolitical system based on the program concepts of people’s movement parliamentary parties from Central and Eastern Europe. The period of analysis covers first years of the systemic transformation, when people’s movement parties from Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania had their parliamentary representation. The research is based on methodological assumptions of content analysis and comparative method. The categorization key included issues concerning: postulated political system; economic order; main directions of foreign policy. People’s parties stressed the need to build democratic states, based on the tripartite separation of power, including citizens’ civil rights. They opted for a free market economy but permitted state interference, especially in the agricultural sector. In strongly collectivized states the privatization of land was a crucial issue. People’s parties also called for changes in international alliances of their countries.
