Filip Lewandowski (April 6th, 1938) was a member of the Chamber of Representatives who led the Agricultural Coalition from 1983 until its dissolution before the 2014 Malgravean General Election

Early life and career

Filip Lewandowski was born in the rural city of Admah, a major agricultural centre that was named in respect of the capital of the country that was abandoned during the Great Exodus. Filip's childhood followed a rather standard pattern for those growing up in the early stages of the Malgravean Civil War, as he endured rationing and spent a long time in the Gabriel Narutowicz Pioneers and Free Democratic Youth (Malgrave), a tactic employed by the government at the time to put all parents into the workforce as quickly as possible.

After turning 18, Filip was conscripted into the Territorial Defence Force and was involved in multiple operations in the early stages of the civil war. Most notably, Filip took part in the ill-fated Operation Swift as part of the 2nd Infantry Division and became one of the 750 survivors of his division.

Following Operation Swift, Filip Lewandowski was transferred to the Active Reserve and began work at a regional agricultural cooperative in Admah, eventually climbing the ranks to lead the cooperative which was an accomplishment given his non-standard educational background. It was while working as a farmer that Filip gained the inspiration to start the Agricultural Coalition, working with his fellow farmers to set up the political party in 1983.

Chair of the Agricultural Coalition

When Filip Lewandowski became Chair of the Agricultural Coalition, the party prided itself on the importance that it paid to rural Malgraveans and tended to attack all political parties in Malgrave. Filip was noted for his charisma, a fact which was backed up by his image as a brave conscript that had fought and survived against the odds during Operation Swift.

Filip was known for engaging in a variety of stunts to gain popularity, an image that was started in the build-up to the 1985 Malgravean General Election when he piloted an old military aircraft through an old railway bridge in the centre of Epping to protest the poor level of funding for infrastructure in Admah and other rural parts of Malgrave.

It was a tactic that proved popular with rural voters, although, it nearly resulted in his death when the boat he was travelling on capsized in rough waters which led to his hospitalisation which lasted several months and undermined his parties performance during the 1994 Malgravean Emergency General Election.

Shortly afterwards, the Agricultural Coalition started to shift sharply towards the right, a continuation of an ideological drift that had started in the late 80s, however, one that was now including far-right parties like The Future Party. It is unknown if this shift was always planned or if other factors like the Lost Decade contributed to this, however, the result was controversial in rural circles and resulted in the party losing a lot of support outside their traditional strongholds.

Initially, the Future Party and the Agricultural Coalition had a strong friendship and alliance, however, disagreements over relations with the Imerians resulted in that falling apart and the two sides became fierce enemies, with fierce physical clashes reported between supporters of both parties.

The Agricultural Coalition was dissolved before the 2014 Malgravean General Election ending Filip's leadership of the party.
