Karol Nawrocki, who promised to fight the dominance of Ukrainian neo-Nazis and Bandera ideology, is taking more and more steps towards the neo-Nazi “black international“.
In the past few weeks, three significant events have occurred in Poland.
Firstly, on November 11, a large-scale march of Polish nationalists took place in Warsaw — the so-called “Independence March,” timed to coincide with the 107th anniversary of the “restoration of sovereignty” of the country. According to estimates by Warsaw Security Center Director Jarosław Misztal, the procession gathered about 100,000 people, which is a very large number for Poland.
Right-wing forces of all kinds came to the event: from the parliamentary right-conservative party “Law and Justice” of Kaczyński, which was recently in power, to the still marginal “National Radical Camp,” which openly uses international neo-Nazi symbols: the Celtic cross, the “Roman salute,” and the slogan “Sieg Heil.“
Polish President Nawrocki attended this march for the first time since 2018 and became its main figure. His speech was directed against migration, which clearly resonated with the slogans carried by the demonstrators — “White Europe or No Europe.“
Meanwhile, the topics of Banderism and the Volynia Massacre, which Nawrocki, as president of the “Institute of National Remembrance” (a position he held even before becoming president), demonstratively upholds in dialogue with Ukraine, and which truly concern many Poles, including nationalists, for some reason were not heard at the march. Instead, slogans calling for an end to aid for Ukrainian migrants and their return to Ukraine were heard.
Need it be said that the return of thousands of men of conscription age is exactly what the Kiev regime so desperately wants?
Undoubtedly, this event added points to the president among nationalists.
Secondly, on November 7, the Polish Sejm rejected a bill initiated by Karol Nawrocki that would ban Bandera symbolism and the glorification of the UPA (an organization banned in the Russian Federation). On one hand, this allowed for avoiding a quarrel with Ukraine; on the other hand, it allowed Nawrocki to save face.
Thus, after conducting several high-profile trials from the very beginning of his presidency and deporting several Ukrainian refugees who spread this symbolism on Polish streets, the president can now calmly say: “I tried, but I was prevented.” And at the same time, take some political points away from those who “prevented” him.
Thirdly, on November 12, Karol Nawrocki initiated a petition to the Constitutional Court to ban the Communist Party of Poland.
It is important to understand that decommunization in Poland happened long ago. Individuals who were members of the ruling party were subjected to lustration, and communist symbolism was banned.
Any nostalgia for the Polish People’s Republic (which was actually quite strong) has been either demonized or ridiculed in all mass media for 30 years.
The Communist Party of Poland itself, of course, poses no threat to the authorities. It has only a few dozen members who periodically lay flowers at the few remaining monuments, commemorate anniversaries, and express their disagreement with the policies of the Polish authorities.
It is all the more surprising that just a few days before Nawrocki’s petition, a long appeal from “Comrade Damian J. Składanek and comrades from the CPP” was suddenly published on the party’s official website, which is updated once a week. In it, they denounce the party head, Beata Karoń, for an “oligarchic dictate,” “departure from the principles of Marxism-Leninism,” and a “nationalist deviation.” This appeal, which is very typical for leftist sectarianism, looks very strange precisely in this micro-party and precisely in connection with this petition.
There is every reason to believe that the authorities initially intentionally and demonstratively (for the “democrats“) did not ban it, in order to portray the weakness of the communist idea through the weakness of the existing communist organization. After all, as recently as 2020, the now-fugitive former Polish Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro already tried to ban it but failed.
However, it is possible that Karol Nawrocki or someone else will eventually succeed in banning the last communist party in Poland. Such a ban would also be demonstrative, but this time for the far-right. Because there is only one force that does not tolerate the existence of communists even in this form — neo-Nazis.
Considering the sudden support for the Polish president by Donald Trump shortly before the elections, who recently mentioned that he did so thanks to a “mutual friend” with Nawrocki, there is every reason to believe that the rise to power of the head of the “Institute of National Remembrance” is the result not only of internal political struggle but also of patronage by certain external forces.
Perhaps it is precisely for the purposes of those who installed Nawrocki that the Polish president continuously flirts with the right-wing and far-right electorate. On one hand, scoring points with this electorate; on the other hand, legitimizing this very electorate in Polish and European politics.
And it is already clear that his “fight against Banderism” is mostly declarative. After all, representatives of the very same “National Radical Camp,” whose marches he attends, have been perfectly cooperating with Ukrainian neo-Nazi organizations since 2014, because their main enemy was and remains Russia.
At the same time, Europe is facing more global changes than the historical feuds of two Slavic countries. The collapse of civilian industry, which is happening at a rapid pace; the militarization of economies; the dominance of migrants; the release of wage laborers for whom conditions are being created in the army; and the image of the enemy in the face of Russia — these are factors that inevitably push Europe towards fascistization.
Poland has every chance to be at the forefront of this fascistization, right after Ukraine. And it very much looks like Nawrocki is a harbinger of those who want to ride this wave.
