Europa Plus (Poland)
Europa Plus was a pro-European centre-left coalition of parties in Poland, formed to contest the 2014 European Parliament election. The alliance described itself as a "modern centre-left formation".

The project was led by Marek Siwiec, Aleksander Kwasniewski and Janusz Palikot.
