Braun nationalist campaign expands with radical normalizatio

Overview

In June 2026, Grzegorz Braun organized a rally and family picnic in Zamość under the Confederation Crown of Poland banner, mixing political speeches with displays of military equipment, robot and drone demos, and children’s activities. Protesters chanted anti‑EU slogans and attacked perceived “ukrainisation”. A month later, Braun gave an interview demanding the removal of “extraterritorial enclaves” such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and the POLIN museum, dubbing EU institutional shuffling a “eu-kolkhoz”. The interview reignited debate over a consecration ceremony he staged in Switzerland, with commentators questioning whether he had been excommunicated. On 4 July 2026, Braun reiterated his call to eliminate foreign jurisdiction in Poland, naming the aforementioned sites as “foreign aircraft carriers”. He defended his stance against accusations of excommunication, noting that his voter base is diverse and not confined to devout Catholics. U.S. officials warned that Braun’s far-right party should not join any future Polish government, citing concerns over extremist rhetoric and Holocaust memory. Poland’s ruling Law and Justice party rebuked the comments as interference. On 25 July 2026, the Warsaw District Court rejected Braun’s request to add his surname to his party name, Konfederacja Korony Polskiej, a move he argued would boost vote share. At the end of July, Braun presented a “radical normalization” programme, arguing that decisions affecting Poland must be made in Warsaw to avert threats like mass migration, EU climate policy, and rising energy costs. In August 2026, he expanded his platform to include radical economic reforms, proposing the liquidation of PIT and CIT taxes and the phasing out of ZUS to liberate entrepreneurship, while calling for the repatriation of Poles and the blocking of mass migration.
