Jurassic-Silesian Association European Home (Polish: Jurajsko-Śląskie Stowarzyszenie Dom Europejski, JŚSDE) is a minor Silesian regionalist political association in Poland.

History

[edit]

It was registered on 28 April 2006,[3] and participated in the 2014 Polish local elections under the name National Electoral Committee Siewierz Gmina - Our Home (Polish: KWW Gmina Siewierz - Nasz Dom),[8] where it won three seats in the municipal council of Siewierz.[9] On 5 August 2019, together with Silesians Together the JŚSDE became a part of the Polish Coalition led by the Polish People's Party.[7] It participated in the 2019 Polish parliamentary election as part of the coalition.[10] Its main goal is "building a self-governing, open and tolerant European civil society" in Silesia.[2]

Along with Silesians Together, it is a left-leaning Silesian political association. The main focus of the JŚSDE is environmentalism, and green initiatives taken on local level. It also stresses the importane of preserving the Silesian language; together with Silesians Together, the organization declared: "We are going to the Polish Parliament so that the Silesian language does not die, but even more so that it develops, so that people can manage to speak Silesian."[5] As part of the Polish Coalition, some of the coalition's policies JŚSDE supports are tax-free pensions, free vaccinations for children, lower social insurance payments for entrepreneurs, safe green energy, and recognition of the Silesian language as a regional language in Poland, and introduction of it in Silesian schools.[7]

The Jurassic-Silesian Association European Home is also strongly regionalist and held conferences such as ‘Modern local government - a guarantee for regional development’. It postulates modernization and empowerment of local governments in Poland, and proposes giving them power to launch public-private partnerships, in which local governments could legally oblige local businesses to carry out public tasks, such as infrastructure expansion and maintenance.[4] It supports the European Union and European integration and postulates development of local cultures and education within the EU, campaigning with slogans such as ‘All roads lead to Silesia’.[6]
