Jan Rokita attacks Przemysław Czarnek over Ukraine stance and right‑wing identity

Jan Rokita sharply criticized Przemysław Czarnek, accusing him of abandoning the historic Polish political tradition that supported the independence of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic states from Soviet domination. Rokita argued that Czarnek’s rhetoric contradicts the legacy of the anti‑communist diaspora and the solidarity movement, and he linked the debate to the broader de‑hegemonisation of the Polish right and the waning influence of Jarosław Kaczyński.

Rokita’s comments have sparked a wider discussion about the identity of Poland’s right‑wing parties, their stance on Ukraine, and the political strategy of figures seeking support from nationalist voters.
