Ignacy Ewaryst Daszyński [iɡˈnat͡sɨ daˈʂɨɲskʲi] (26 October 1866, Zbaraż – 31 October 1936) was a Polish socialist politician, journalist and Prime Minister of the first Polish government, the Second Polish Republic, created in Lublin in 1918.
In October 1892 he co-founded the Polish Social Democratic Party (Polish abbreviation: PPSD), a precursor to the Polish Socialist Party (PPS). He was elected to the Austrian Parliament in 1897 and remained there until 1918. From 1903, he took part in several congresses and gatherings of the International Socialist Party, frequently emphasizing the independence and reunification of all territories of Poland as a part integral of the Polish socialist program. Then, in 1912, Daszyński began his long collaboration with future Marshal and Chief of State Józef Pilsudski. He was also appointed chief editor of the Socialist newspaper Naprzód ("Forward") in Kraków.
Following World War I, Daszyński co-founded the Polish National Committee, and for a few days, he served as head of the provisional government formed in the city of Lublin on November 7, 1918. He was elected on January 26, 1919 to the Polish Sejm and was constantly re-elected in 1922, 1928 and finally in 1930. From July 1920 to January 1921, he served as the deputy prime minister in the Government of National Unity led by politician and diplomat Wincenty Witos.
Although he strongly supported Józef Piłsudski during the May 1926 Coup, he later joined the center-left opposition. From 1928 to 1930, he was the third Marshal of the Sejm. He often refused to allow a parliament sitting or session when Piłsudski, accompanied by a strong armed escort and a cavalry unit, entered the chamber where the politicians and envoys gathered. Daszyński ended his political career in 1930 when Piłsudski dissolved parliament.
