The Democratic-Social Movement (Polish: Ruch Demokratyczno-Społeczny, RDS) was a political party in Poland.

History

The RDS was established on 20 April 1991 by Zbigniew Bujak as a breakaway from the Citizens' Movement for Democratic Action.[1] It went on to receive 0.5% of the vote and win one seat in the Sejm in the October 1991 parliamentary elections.[2]

In June 1992 the party merged with the Polish Social Democratic Union, Labour Solidarity and some members of the Polish Socialist Party to form Labour United.[3]
