(JEWISH GROUP) 'Poland is for Poles, not Jews': Polish MP's speech outside Auschwitz stirs outrage

“Jews want to be super-humans in Poland, entitled to a better status, and the Polish police dance to their tune,” far-right Polish MP Grzegorz Braun said outside the Auschwitz concentration camp.

Braun, the head of the Confederation of the Polish Crown party, made the comments on Saturday amid news of the Polish government’s plans to adopt a resolution combating antisemitism.

In October, a draft resolution of the Council of Ministers on the adoption of the National Strategy for Counteracting Antisemitism and Supporting Jewish Life for 2025-2030 was published on the website of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.

“Poland is for Poles. Other nations have their own countries, including the Jews,” Braun continued, adding that promoting Jewish life in Poland was like “inviting Hannibal Lecter to move in next door”.

He went on to promise that his party “will scatter the International Auschwitz Council to the four winds” if it gains influence in government. He said that under his governance, the council would have no basis in law or budget.

How refreshing. An anti-Semite who doesn't pretend to be something else. In your face, not behind your back.

KKP leaders frequently accuse their political opponents of serving the interests of Jews and Israel. Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, party representatives have intensified their attacks on Israel and Jews, repeatedly accusing Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians, and have called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Poland.

Their stance is believed to stem from widespread antisemitism that still exists among broad segments of the Polish population.


Hard to tell if this party is far left or far right. The difference is the ultra-nationalism mainly.
