Confederation of the Polish Crown

Formation (2019–2022) The origin of Korona can be traced to an organization Braun founded in 2015 called Pobudka ( 'wake up call'). A network of Braun's supporters across 41 constituencies, Braun would formally transform his base into KKP in time for the 2019 Sejm election where he would win Constituency no. 23 in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. The party's founding congress would be held on 7 September 2019, where Braun had one of his supporters, Włodzimierz Skalik, installed as the party's vice president (with Braun being president) and general secretary. The party would be officially registered by Polish courts on 24 January 2020. At its formation, the party had been in a coalition with KORWiN, later known as New Hope, and the National Movement called Confederation. Braun was the Korona candidate in the 2020 Confederation presidential primary. He lost to Krzysztof Bosak during the final round of voting and then immediately endorsed his candidacy. Braun has been described as a far-right politician, anti-vaccination activist, and antisemite. Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022–2025) Braun is often accused of pro-Russian rhetoric. In June 2022, Braun and few other members of the party co-signed a pro-Russian declaration stating that the Russian invasion of 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". 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." Expulsion from Confederation (2025–present) Braun would again seek the Confederation nomination in the 2025 presidential election, however, instead of a US-styled primary which the coalition had run in 2019 to determine its candidate, the Council of Leaders (which Braun is a member of) chose to nominate Sławomir Mentzen from New Hope even though Braun had support from Janusz Korwin-Mikke. Despite this Braun would push ahead with his own candidacy stating "I will be a candidate in this election, with God and human help." This is almost exactly what happened on election day, as Nawrocki won 50.89% of the vote in what was described as an upset, with 92.6% of Braun and 87.2% of Mentzen voters that turned out in the second round voting for him. On 4 June 2025, the Confederation of the Polish Crown announced the creation of its own parliamentary circle in the Sejm, composed of Roman Fritz, Włodzimierz Skalik and Sławomir Zawiślak. Fritz and Skalik, elected on the list of Confederation Liberty and Independence in the 2023 election, left their party in March 2025 and joined Braun's party as independent MPs. However, since Braun is a MEP and not an MP of the Polish Sejm, his party fell short of three MPs - a minimum amount of MPs needed to form a parliamentary circle. In June 2025, Zawiślak, an MP of Law and Justice, left his party and defected to Braun, granting the Confederation of the Polish Crown its third MP and thus allowing it to found its own parliamentary circle. Following the party's success in the presidential election, Braun and the KKP began the formation of the "broad fire extinguisher front", concentrating anti-establishment political forces from around the country. ==Views==

Monarchism Despite the party's name, Korona does not seek the restoration of the Kingdom of Poland or any royal dynasty and is therefore not a monarchist political party. Instead the party seeks to "enthrone Christ as King of Poland" as part of the so-called "enthronement movement" which was established by Polish Americans in Chicago which financed "Radio of Christ the King" as the movement's main organ which Braun appears on and the party regularly collaborates with. The network has been heavily criticized for allowing known pedophiles on the air including Piotr Glas. In 2012 the Polish Episcopal Conference rebuffed the movement, saying "thinking that it is enough to call Christ the King of Poland, and everything will change for the better, must be considered illusory, even harmful to the understanding and realization of Christ's salvation in the world." The party had been trying to get Archbishop Andrzej Dzięga to break ranks from the conference and perform an enthronement ceremony himself but he resigned from his position after an internal church investigation into mismanagement in 2024. Catholicism Catholicism has been a key part of the party and Braun's own personal ideology, despite being denounced by the Catholic Church in Poland. Krytyka Polityczna has argued that the KKP has become "an ultra-Catholic ‘old-school’ right-wing group" that embraced Catholic or traditionalist economics over economic libertarianism or free market; it also noted that the party's leadership has become dominated by former Law and Justice members rather than people who used to belong to the Confederation Liberty and Independence (a coalition that the KKP previously belonged to), and thus the KKP of the Polish Crown "much closer to the far-right wing of PiS than to Confederation". Conversely, many Korona members oppose Braun's cooperation with Janusz Korwin-Mikke. Confederation of the Polish Crown argues for a focus on Polish agriculture, stating: "Polish agriculture is like a hen laying golden eggs. It would be very foolish not to take care of them." It proposes to make Poland's food security as one of the strategic directions of state management, terminating 'absurd climate policy', protectionism through limiting food imports, withdrawing from unfavourable EU agreements, and promoting farmers directly selling their produce. The party is described as anti-migrant, and proposes heavy legal restrictions on immigrants in Poland, particularly Ukrainian ones. In 2022, the party submitted a bill to the Sejm in 2022 titled "Stop the Ukrainization of Poland", which aimed to protect Poland from "fragmentation in terms of ethnicity, politics, and even territorial integrity in the face of a mass influx of Ukrainian refugees". The KKP argues that immigration and its effects must be curbed, stating that it leads to consequences such as "cultural distrust", increasing social distance, crime rate increases, and disadvantaging native workers in the local labor market. The party has also spoken against day care service (żłobek), criticizing policies and institutions that pressure or enable women to enter the workforce. Foreign policy The party is considered pro-Russian, anti-Ukraine, anti-Israel, anti-EU and anti-NATO. It argues that Poland should leave NATO and form an alliance with Belarus, Iran, Turkey and China instead, denouncing NATO as "international Zionist cadres" which are "linked to American imperialism". Braun accused Germany of instigating an anti-Polish campaign of shifting the blame for the Holocaust to Poland, arguing that German goal is to establish a "Jewish archipelago-sovereignty" in Poland and turn it into "Judeo-Polonia" supervised by the US army. In the Russo-Ukrainian War, the KKP took an anti-Ukrainian stance, denouncing Ukraine as a "failed state" ruled by the "Banderite regime", demanding a construction of a 3-meter fence on the Polish-Ukrainian border, postulating that no Ukrainian refugees be allowed to enter Poland, and claiming that Ukrainian refugees are part of a plot to replace Poles with Ukrainians. The KKP voted against resolutions "condemning the Russian genocide in Ukraine" and “condemning the illegal referenda held by the Russian authorities in the occupied territories of Ukraine”, opposed expansion of NATO through entrance of Sweden and Finland, and denounced the bill labelling Russia a "terrorism-sponsoring state". It worked with the Alternative for Germany and Flemish Interest to organize protests against EU sanctions on Russia, and organized a nationwide "Stop the Ukrainization of Poland" campaign with other parties in Poland. It has also been described as antisemitic and anti-Israel. It accuses other political parties in Poland of serving the interests of Jews and Israel. Since the Gaza War, KKP has accused Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people, and has called for the expulsion of Israeli ambassador from Poland. Braun interrupted the minute of silence for the Holocaust victims in the European Parliament by repeatedly requesting to pray for the victims of 'Jewish-conducted genocide in Gaza' instead. Braun was criticized by other MEPs - Łukasz Kohut called him a "disgusting creature" and Bert-Jan Ruissen called for the "highest possible sanction" against Braun, while the European Jewish Congress described his behaviour as "vile display of antisemitism in the heart of European democracy." Braun responded to the criticism by stating that "apparently all victims are equal, but some are more equal than others". The KKP does not recognize the existence of Israel, considering it to be an illegal occupier of Palestine and calling for a deportation of Israeli Jews from the region. Minorities The party argues that Banderism, which it described as "brutal cruelty beyond our imagination", is becoming "the standard in our country", referring to the attitudes and behaviors of Ukrainians in Poland. It calls for the need to defend the Polish national identity, claiming that is being destroyed by non-Polish circles. A report by the "Never Again" Association, known as the "Brown Book", alleges that Jews, Muslims, Ukrainian refugees, and LGBT people have been attacked by the representatives of the Confederation of the Polish Crown. == Election results ==
