The Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government (BBWR) was a Polish nationalist political alliance which was active from November 1927 to October 1935 as the "party of power" under the military strongman Jozef Pilsudski. The party was founded by Walery Slawek at the directive of Pilsudski, and it incorporated deputies from parties such as the Polish Socialist Party, Polish People's Party "Piast", and smaller parties (including minority-based parties). The BBWR movement was rivals with the right-wing National Democracy movement, and it had influential left- and right-wings; one of the movement's main goals, however, was to attract the country's conservative and business circles. The BBWR supported increasing the power of the presidency over the parliament, the creation of public works programs to address unemployment, educational reform, and the curbing of opposition activities. After Pilsudski's death on 12 May 1935, the BBWR was dissolved, and Edward Smigly-Rydz founded the far-right Camp of National Unity (OZN) in February 1937 to unify the right-wing of Pilsudski's Sanation movement; Slawek, Ignacy Moscicki, Janusz Jedrzejewicz, and other leading members of the BBWR's left-wing refused to join the OZN, and Sanation's left-wing lost its influence as Smigly-Rydz's anti-Semitic right-wing came to dominate Poland.
