Polish activists to protest potential Palantir military deal

Activists in Poland are organizing a protest at Warsaw’s Constitution Square to demand an independent security assessment of a potential defense agreement with the US-based data analytics company Palantir.

The “Our Data” campaign is calling for the government to suspend the deal until a risk assessment is completed and the findings are debated in parliament. Concerns center on military data security, transparency, and the risk of Poland becoming dependent on a private American corporation.

In December 2024, Poland’s Defense Ministry signed a memorandum of understanding with Palantir, followed by a letter of intent in October 2025 regarding the possible purchase of the Maven Smart System. This AI-powered platform integrates data to assist armed forces with mission planning and operations. While the Digital Affairs Ministry has requested an assessment of operational and legal risks, a response has not yet been received. Palantir has stated that its systems operate exclusively under the customer’s control and that the company has no access to the processed data.
