Prosecutors reject applications to ban Polish radical nationalist group ONR

Jan 19, 2022

Prosecutors have, after a four-year investigation, rejected requests to ban National Radical Camp (ONR), one of Poland’s leading far-right groups. They found that there was no evidence of gross or persistent violations of the law by the organisation.

Since 2017, four applications for the group to be delegalised have been submitted, including by the former mayors of Warsaw and Gdańsk, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz and Paweł Adamowicz. The annual nationalist Independence March, co-organised by ONR, takes place in the capital each year, despite city authorities wanting it banned.

Gronkiewicz-Waltz submitted examples of court cases in which members of ONR had been convicted for inciting racial hatred and xenophobia, as well as promoting fascism, which are not only crimes but also violate Poland’s constitution.
