Ruch Narodowy (German: National Movement , RN for short ) is a right-wing extremist political organization in Poland founded in 2012 . In the parliamentary elections in Poland in 2015 , she supported the movement Kukiz'15 of Paweł Kukiz and moved for the first time with five deputies in the Polish Sejm . In the 2019 parliamentary election , the RN joined the KORWiN party as Konfederacja and again achieved five seats.
Origin and profile
The National Movement was formed on November 11, 2012 - the anniversary of Poland's independence - initially as an alliance of various nationalist groups. Among the most important are the right - wing extremist All - Polish youth , the national radical camp and the so-called soldiers' association . These had already worked together from 2010 onwards in the so-called “independence march”. The most important spokesman was Robert Winnicki from the All-Polish Youth. He stated that Ruch Narodowy should become a force "that leftists, liberals and fagots will fear". A former MP from Prawo i Sprawiedliwość , Artur Zawisza , has also joined the National Movement and was elected co-chair at the first Ruch Narodowy Congress in June 2013.
She herself refers to the illegal fascist movement Falanga that was active in Poland in the 1930s and the national-democratic politician Roman Dmowski . She also regards the Catholic-nationalist and anti-communist Narodowe Siły Zbrojne (“National Armed Forces”), who fought against both Germany and the Soviet Union in World War II, as a role model. She calls for the nationalization of the energy supply, education, health and finance, the exit from the European Union and the conversion of Poland into a "Christian religious state". The current political system in Poland associates the movement with communism, lack of freedom and heteronomy.
At the beginning of 2014, Andreas Kahrs and Eva Spanka described Ruch Narodowy in an article for the magazine Eastern Europe as “one of the most dynamic right-wing extremist movements in Europe”.
Until the 2014 European elections , in which it received only 1.4% of the vote, the National Movement only appeared as an electoral alliance of oppositional right-wing extremist parties. Only then did the transformation into a unified party take place . Winnicki was elected party chairman.
Because the chances of getting into the parliamentary elections in 2015 were very slim, the RN supported the then new and up-and-coming right-wing populist movement Kukiz'15 of the rock musician Paweł Kukiz . She made her nationwide party infrastructure available to him and was allowed to run for it on his list. As a result, five seats were taken and three more by people very close to RN. Ruch Narodowy forms its own faction with the Kukiz movement.
Ruch Narodowy cooperates internationally with the right-wing extremist and anti-Semitic Hungarian party Jobbik .
