Wątki ekologiczne w programach polskich środowisk politycznych w kampaniach wyborczych w latach 2015 i 2019

The article structures the research problems related to ecological issues in the electoral programs of political parties and circles. The author tries to answer the question of where ecology ends and where the ideological approach to environmental protection known as ecologism begins. He also tries to determine whether ecologism is right-wing or left-wing in nature. The essence of the article is an analysis of the election programs of 2015 and 2019 in relation to the content of environmental protection. For the purpose of analysis, the author used the technique of desk research and discourse analysis by applying keyword-based retrieval.As a result of the analysis, the author came to the conclusion that Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform) and Koalicja Obywatelska (Civic Coalition) did not talk about healthy food and organic farms. This problem was most often raised by Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law and Justice), and then by Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe (Polish People’s Party) and Nowoczesna (Modern Party). Platforma Obywatelska and Koalicja Obywatelska also did not comment on the care of state forest resources or the issue of GMOs. In 2015, PiS, Kukiz’15, and Zjednoczona Lewica (United Left), which included Partia Zielonych (Green Party), expressed their opposition to the latter issue. On the other hand, in 2019 the Left did not raise the issue of GMOs. The only group that raised this issue in the above-mentioned elections was PiS.
