United Beyond Boundaries

United Beyond Boundaries (Polish: Zjednoczeni Ponad Podziałami, ZPP), known as Action of Disappointed Retirees and Pensioners until 2022 (Polish: Akcja Zawiedzionych Emerytów Rencistów, AZER) is a Polish political party founded in 2018. The party was created in February 2018 and formally registered six months later, in August 2018. The leader of the party is Wojciech Kornowski, a prominent member and founder of the nationalist communist organisation Patriotic Union "Grunwald" (Polish: Zjednoczenie Patriotyczne „Grunwald”). Kornowski was briefly the leader of democratic socialist National Party of Retirees and Pensioners in May 2012, but seceded from the party to create his own pensioner-oriented party Pensioners' Party of the Republic of Poland (Polish: Partia Emerytów Rencistów Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej), which then became the Action of Disappointed Retirees and Pensioners in 2018. Since 2022, the party also leads an electoral committee "United Beyond Divisions" (Polish: Zjednoczeni Ponad Podziałami).

The party is described as a "hybrid" of the agrarian socialist and left-wing populist Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland, as well as the democratic socialist National Party of Retirees and Pensioners. The party includes former Self-Defence members such as Zbyszek Witaszek and Janusz Bryczkowski. AZER wants to reform Polish politics and strip currently dominating political parties of political influence, calling them "pseudo-elites" that govern "contrary to the interests of the State and the Nation", and which "must be rid of politics once and for all". The party also wants to represent the interests of disadvantaged social groups and strongly opposes privatization and neoliberalism, denouncing capitalism as the "new feudalism and even economic slavery".
