Qualitative Info

In Poland, there is Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski – NOP (National Rebirth of Poland) – the officially registered nationalist and national-revolutionary political party. NOP is promoting violent forms of neofascism and anti-semitism, including the Holocaust denial and racism. A considerable number of government bodies, nongovernmental organizations, academic institutions and individual experts worldwide, e.g. the United States Department of State and the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), claimed NOP to be an anti-semitic organisation.
Next, there is Obóz Narodowo Radykalny – ONR (National Radical Camp), which is a Polish extreme right, anti-semitic, anti-communist and nationalist political movement.
Another group is Młodzież Wszechpolska (All-Polish Youth) which has been widely condemned as homophobic by various organisations, e.g. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch or the UN.
Finally, there is also Polska Partia Narodowa (Polish National Party), a nationalist and ultra-conservative political party led by Leszek Bubel, registered officially in 2004, and famous for its anti-semitic discourse. The party mostly expresses anti-semitism but also opposes emigrants and new cultures in Poland.
