The Polish political party that wants to enthrone Jesus as King of Poland
In short: The Confederation of the Polish Crown is a far-right Polish party built around the personal ideology of its founder, Grzegorz Braun. Known for its ultranationalist and traditionalist stance, the group advocates for the formal enthronement of Jesus Christ as King of Poland while navigating a complex, often controversial, political landscape.
Founded by Grzegorz Braun, the Confederation of the Polish Crown—often called The Crown—originated from his 2015 political initiatives like the Pobudka organization. Officially registered in 2020, the party has evolved from a coalition partner within the broader Confederation movement to an independent entity. Following Braun's expulsion from the Confederation coalition in January 2025, the party successfully formed its own parliamentary circle in the Sejm by June 2025, bolstered by the defection of three MPs, including Law and Justice member Sławomir Zawiślak.
The party's ideology is a blend of extreme traditionalism and economic protectionism. While it rejects monarchist restoration, it promotes the 'enthronement movement,' which seeks to declare Jesus Christ as King of Poland. This religious focus is paired with a staunchly anti-establishment platform that opposes the European Union, NATO, and what it terms 'economic colonialism.' Economically, the party has shifted away from its former libertarian roots toward national-communist and protectionist policies, prioritizing food security and state-issued currency over free-market principles.
The party is frequently defined by its polarizing rhetoric. It maintains a strictly anti-migrant stance, particularly regarding Ukrainian refugees, and has been widely described as antisemitic and pro-Russian. Braun has faced intense criticism for his actions, including interrupting a minute of silence for Holocaust victims in the European Parliament to protest Israel's actions in Gaza. Despite calls for its banning due to alleged constitutional violations, the party has seen its support rise to 10 percent in legislative polling as of September 2026, signaling a persistent, if contentious, influence in Polish politics.
