Career as a musician
1984-2013 he was a member of the rock band Piersi and was meanwhile also bandleader . 1997 to 2004 this was also referred to as Kukiz i Piersi . Together with the band he released a total of nine albums. The piece of music ZChN zbliża się (The Christian-National Association is getting closer), directed against the Polish clergy , sparked controversy , which in some eyes offended religious feelings.
From 1989 to 1993 Kukiz performed as the singer in the group Emigranci . He also took part in the Yugoton music project in 2001 and later continued it under the name Yugopolis . In 2003 he released an album with Jan Borysewicz. In a duet with Pih he sang the song Młodość , which was released in an album in 2014.
In the 1990s, Kukiz appeared in advertising for Pepsi .
In 2009, Kukiz hosted, alongside Marek Horodniczy, the Koniec końców program broadcast on the public broadcaster TVP1 . In 2010 he took part as a juror at the Festiwal Piosenki Angielskiej (German Festival of English Songs ) in Brzeg .
The record company Sony Music Entertainment , which Kukiz had under contract, terminated the collaboration in 2015 after it became known that he was running for president.
Career as a politician
In the presidential election in Poland in 2005 , Kukiz was a member of the support committee for candidate Donald Tusk . He later also supported the election campaigns of the liberal-conservative, Tusk-led Platforma Obywatelska party in the 2006 local and 2007 parliamentary elections .
In 2009, Kukiz became the editor of the nieobecni.com.pl internet portal , which is dedicated to the documentation of graves in the former eastern parts of Poland as well as historical graves in the country. As part of a political collaboration with Piotr Duda from the Solidarność trade union , he recorded the song “Heil Sztajnbach”, directed against the policies of the German expellees president Erika Steinbach , in 2013 and increasingly stylized himself into a system-critical, self-image leading to a popular movement against the encrusted party landscape Politician. According to the assessment of foreign correspondents, Kukiz has "developed from a funny punk rocker more and more to a partly right-wing extremist rock bard" since he turned "sharply right" around 2010. In 2010 and 2011, Kukiz was a member of the Support Committee of the March of Independence ( Marsz Niepodległości ), which always takes place in Warsaw on November 11th, Polish Independence Day.
After Kukiz announced in February 2015 that he would run for the presidential election in May , he moderated his political positions. After submitting the required 100,000 signatures, he was officially registered as a candidate on March 25th. In addition to reducing taxes, his most important point on the agenda was the introduction of majority voting , which was intended to break open the traditional party-political structures and open them up to smaller groups. Kukiz managed to establish himself as an unknown quantity with, according to surveys, 5 to 10 percent support as a candidate directed against the system, who addressed the protest potential, especially among dissatisfied young voters. In the first ballot on May 10, 2015, Kukiz came in third after Andrzej Duda and Bronisław Komorowski with 20.8 percent of the vote .
After the presidential election, Kukiz announced the formation of a new political group and their participation in the general election in autumn 2015 . Observers assumed that he would lead a right-wing populist movement, possibly together with the politically similar Janusz Korwin-Mikke , another candidate in the presidential election. Korwin-Mikke, however, runs his own party , while Kukiz founded the Kukiz'15 movement .
On September 6, 2015, a referendum he had proposed in Poland failed due to the low turnout.
Kukiz ran as the top candidate of his new movement in the 2015 parliamentary election , which immediately became the third-strongest force in the Sejm with 42 seats .
Kukiz is against the adoption of children by homosexual couples and against abortion. As a supporter of the majority vote , he organized the “Zmieleni.pl” campaign. He called for the “defense of Polish industry”, especially “Polish coal”, against the “dissolution of Poland's industry”, which, in his words, is primarily aimed at the German neighbors. He accused the center-right government in Warsaw under Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz of being “Angela Merkel's governor in Poland”. In the run-up to the parliamentary elections in October 2015, Kukiz spoke of a planned “annihilation of Poland”: while two and a half million young, productive Poles had emigrated and another 1.5 million were planning to do so, “foreign nations” were being settled in the country. He was referring to the Polish government's promise to accept 7,000 refugees from Syria and Iraq.
During the debate about the amendment to the law on the Institute of National Remembrance ("Holocaust Law") in 2018, Kukiz attracted attention with anti-Semitic statements and statements that relativized the Holocaust. He declared: "Making the Poles jointly responsible for the Holocaust is a moral and ethical Holocaust against the Poles." The Jews have "a moral crisis because they accuse the Poles of participating in such crimes". In addition, he made Jews responsible for communist rule in Poland: "the entire leadership of the secret service, the NKVD and the entire judiciary" consisted of Jews.
