The Confederation of the Polish Crown (Polish: Konfederacja Korony Polskiej, KKP), often shortened to The Crown (Korona), is a monarchist and far-right[2] political party in Poland. It is led by Grzegorz Braun.[3]
It has been described as nationalist and traditionalist,[4] and the party advocates for monarchism.[5] The party's goals are to "fight for the good of Poland, secure the sovereignty of the Polish State, defend Poland's Catholic faith, ensure that Polish families are prosperous, and help shape social life based on the principles of Latin civilization."[6]
History
Since its formation, the party has been in a coalition with New Hope and the National Movement called Confederation.[7] Party leader Grzegorz Braun became the party's first member of the Sejm during the 2019 Polish parliamentary election.[8]
Braun was a candidate in the 2020 Confederation presidential primary.[9] He lost to Krzysztof Bosak during the final round of voting and then immediately endorsed his candidacy.[10]
Braun has been described as a far-right politician,[11][12] anti-vaccination activist,[13] and antisemite.[14]
Braun is often accused of pro-Russian rhetoric.[15] In June 2022, Braun and few other members of the party co-signed a pro-Russian declaration stating that the war in Ukraine is a consequence of NATO enlargement, as well as Ukrainian language laws that "discriminated against the Russian minority". The party called for an end to the war through the conclusion of a "compromise between Russia and Ukraine".[1] Then in September 2022, Braun participated in an anti-Ukrainian protest, in which he made the following statement: "Stop the Ukrainianisation of Poland. Stop the de-Polonisation of Poland. It is about making Poland Polish". This statement was later aired by the state-owned Russian television channel Russia-1. In response to backlash, the party doubled down on Braun's statement; Jacek Ćwięka, the personal assistant of Grzegorz Braun, stated: "And this is the success of our action, which the leftists and liberals can only envy us! There is nothing else left for them".[16] Leader Grzegorz Braun Vice-Leaders Roman Fritz Włodzimierz Skalik Secretary Rafał Gawenda Treasurer Kamila Jezierska
