Chjeno-Piast was an unofficial (yet common) name of acoalition ofPolish political parties formed in 1923. It included thePolish People's Party "Piast" and an older coalition 1922Christian Association of National Unity (Chrześcijański Związek Jedności Narodowej). The merger was passed during a meeting in the manor of senator L. Hammerling's fromLanckorona and at times it is referred to asPact of Lanckorona.
The Chjeno-Piast coalition was the political base of two consecutive governments formed byWincenty Witos. The first, formed in May 1923, antagonizedJózef Piłsudski, who resigned his government posts blaming Chjeno-Piast for the assassination ofGabriel Narutowicz. This government was forced to resign in December of that year in the effect ofmassive worker riots inKraków. The second, formed in May 1926, had even less support and was soon overthrown by theMay Coup organized byJózef Piłsudski.
The first part of the name of the coalition (being an abbreviation ofChrześcijańskaJednośćNarodowa) resembles the Polish wordhiena, meaninghyena.
