American Organization Responds to Persecution of Romanowski. Investigation Launched!

Judicial Watch has launched an investigation into the persecution I have faced at the hands of the Tusk regime, announced PiS MP Marcin Romanowski, who has been granted political asylum in Hungary.

As stated in the politician’s post, “Judicial Watch is an American conservative non-governmental organization that defends freedom of speech and fights against political persecution.”

“It is an organization that for years has defended against the aggression of the globalist, left-wing, and liberal establishment, which targets conservative and Christian circles. In recent years, it has supported Donald Trump in the face of attempts to exclude him from public life,” Romanowski emphasized.

The politician also recalled a statement made by Chris Farrell, Director of Investigations and Research at Judicial Watch, who, referring to Romanowski’s case, “called on the public to take a stand against actions aimed at curbing freedom of speech—and to do so as quickly as possible, before it is too late.”

“He stated that Judicial Watch has launched its own investigation into the matter, concluding that it fits into a broader pattern of silencing conservative voices that defend national sovereignty, democratic self-governance, and traditional values across Europe,” Romanowski noted.

Farrell warned that “tactics aimed at silencing critical voices risk establishing a soft authoritarian regime.”

Romanowski Granted Asylum in Hungary

PiS MP Marcin Romanowski traveled to Budapest, where he was granted political asylum. Hungarian authorities concluded that under the current political circumstances, Romanowski would not be afforded a fair trial in Poland.

At the same time, Interpol refused to issue a Red Notice against him, meaning he has not been placed on the list of particularly wanted individuals. The organization also decided to delete all data submitted by the Polish side in the case, effectively closing the matter at the Interpol level. At present, the Polish government can only pursue him via the European Arrest Warrant mechanism, which operates within the European Union.

Giertych, Lis and Sienkiewicz have shown no restraint in their comments after Karol Nawrocki’s visit to Washington and meeting with Donald Trump.

Giertych, Lis and Sienkiewicz have shown no restraint in their comments after Karol Nawrocki’s visit to Washington and meeting with Donald Trump. The aim of the onslaught appears obvious. “Their true intention is to wreck the Polish‑American alliance in favor of a Russian‑German hegemony in Europe,” said Jarosław Olechowski, head of publishers at TV Republika.

In the White House, presidential hopeful and Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) president Dr Karol Nawrocki met with U.S. President Donald Trump. The meeting was confirmed by the White House itself, which posted photos of Nawrocki and Trump in the Oval Office on social media. As the American president’s guest, Nawrocki also held a series of talks with top Republican officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

Even before the Nawrocki‑Trump encounter was confirmed, politicians linked to the ruling camp tried every possible way to belittle the Polish candidate’s U.S. visit. Mainstream outlets added their own inglorious “brick,” seeking to marginalize Nawrocki’s trip.

When the White House finally released the photos and Nawrocki spoke openly about the meetings in Washington, the governing coalition lost its earlier line of argument and turned its fire on… the United States.

Sienkiewicz: “Trump is wrecking the world”

KO MEP Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz first accused Karol Nawrocki of “fawning over Trump” and “informing on his own country,” then called the visit “an act of despair.”

“PiS is entirely Trumpist, blindly ignoring the fact that the whole world has a problem with Trump, that Trump is actually wrecking the world. Yet they snuggle up to him. It didn’t surprise me… not to mention that Poles are increasingly distrustful of America’s conduct,” — Sienkiewicz said.

KO MP Roman Giertych labeled the meeting “an attempt to influence the Polish elections,” comparing it to late‑18th‑century free elections “when Russia meddled in choosing the king.”

“A state created 250 years ago from English colonies, acting in the interest of a state created 500 years ago from Mongol colonies, is trying to impose its choice of president on a nation that for over 1,000 years has fought to choose its own rulers,” — Giertych added, tagging his post #ColonialTreatment.

Lis: “A pimp meets a rapist”

Journalist Tomasz Lis also launched an offensive, firing off several incendiary posts.

ENG: “A meeting between a pimp and a rapist really does create opportunities for new ‘perspectives’ in Polish‑American relations.
ENG: In the past it was the communists who travelled to Moscow, convinced that the Kremlin’s blessing would help them fight for power in Warsaw. Now the communists from PiS are going to Washington—to the Kremlin’s agent.
ENG: Putin, with the help of his agent, wants to sway Poland’s election. Get the hell out!

Goal: Undermine ties with the U.S.

It is hard to miss the fact that—pursuing narrow political interests—the leading provocateurs of the 13 December camp are trying to strike at Poland’s key ally.

“Their real intention is to destroy the Polish‑American alliance in the interest of Russian‑German hegemony in Europe,” — Jarosław Olechowski reiterated.

Polish National Flag Day

Polish National Flag Day
niepodlegla.gov.pl

2nd May the day of the flag of the Republic of Poland is celebrated, as well as the celebration of the Day of Polonia and Poles Abroad. On 20 February 2004, the Polish Parliament adopted an amendment to the law on the emblem, colours and anthem of the Republic of Poland, which since then became the day of the Polish National Flag Day.

The holiday date was chosen for two reasons. On 2 May 1945, the First Polish Army put a flag on the Berlin Victory Column and the Reichstag in Berlin. The second is that the communist authorities abolished the celebration of the 3 Maj Constitution Day and the flags had to be removed.

 

“The holiday was set in the form of other countries, especially the United States, where it was first established to commemorate the adoption of the first American flag of 1777,” Andrzej Bełowski explained in 2018.

 

Although the Polish flag is made up of two horizontal bands – white and red – it is no longer easy to specify the shades of these colours. “The Act of 31 January 1980 on the emblem, colours and anthem of the Republic of Poland and State stamps” reveals that colours are presented in the form of trichromatic coordinates. This means that the white is not a pure snow-white, and the red colour is crimson or a dark red.

 

National colours are also of symbolic importance. As Andrzej Bebłowski pointed out, “white colour symbolizes gentleness, friendship, prosperity and red colour blood, i.e., the struggle for sovereignty, the fight for independence.” During World War II, the white and red colours were also a symbol of the nation’s infirmity and will to win, and they gave hope for freedom.

 

There are two types of Polish state flag. The first is a white/red rectangle. The second flag is with the emblem of the Republic of Poland on the white strip. According to the law in force, flags with emblem can only be used by the official national agencies abroad, by civil airports and aircraft, by port masters as well as by Polish sea ships as a flag.

“One word that describes my brother is bravery.” A Special Campaign Spot by Karol Nawrocki

Karol Nawrocki’s campaign team has released a new promotional video about the civic candidate for President of the Republic of Poland. This time, those closest to the President of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) speak about him.

“We were — in our Polish Pope — our whole family was in love and joyful. We knew what it meant for Poland. Karol was named after Karol Wojtyła,” 

says Karol Nawrocki’s mother in the video released on Thursday.

The recording presents the presidential candidate through the eyes of his loved ones. From it, we learn what the family of the IPN president values in him, as well as details about the historian’s childhood.

“I think about it with bliss when I go back to the 1990s. It was a happy childhood, free from any major problems. It was also modest because we lived modestly. A working-class district of Gdańsk… My family home — I would say it was a traditional home,” 

the historian recounts in the video.

Below is the video featuring the President of the IPN.

Celebrating 104 Years since the Third Silesian Uprising: Poland’s Triumph in Upper Silesia

“The miracle over Odra gave Poland Silesia” 101th Anniversary of the Third Silesian Uprising
wikipedia.org

Today marks a significant milestone in Polish history as we commemorate the 104th anniversary of the Third Silesian Uprising, a pivotal moment that reshaped the landscape of Upper Silesia. The uprising, which erupted on the fateful night of May 2 to 3 in 1921, culminated in a two-month-long battle resulting in a significant territorial gain for Poland, including the acquisition of vital industrial assets such as mines and smelters. It wasn’t until the summer of 1922 that the Polish Army officially assumed control of the newly acquired territory.

Origins of the Third Uprising: Prelude to Conflict in Silesia

The roots of the Third Uprising trace back to the failure of the First Uprising in August 1919, which prompted Allied intervention to curb German aggression against the Polish population in Silesia. By October of the same year, German troops were compelled to withdraw from the region under Allied pressure.

Anticipating further unrest, Polish authorities took preemptive measures as early as March 1921, reinforcing border garrisons and clandestinely transferring arms to Upper Silesia. Meanwhile, Germany expanded the Selbstschutz, a paramilitary organization, in response to the escalating tensions. The intervention of the French army played a crucial role, disbanding some of the Selbstschutz’s aspiring troops. Amidst diplomatic manoeuvres, intelligence received by the Polish Command on the weakening standing of Poland in the Internally Plebiscite Commission heightened the sense of urgency.

As April drew to a close, Upper Silesia was gripped by another wave of strikes, exacerbating social tensions. Against this backdrop, political and military leaders convened in Bytom, where the decision to launch the uprising was made under the leadership of Wojciech Korfanty.

Turning Tides: The Course of the Third Uprising

The uprising commenced on May 2nd with a general strike led by Polish miners and workers. Lieutenant Colonel Maciej Miłżyński, also known as Nowina-Doliwa, conveyed the decision to launch the uprising to Warsaw. Korfanty, declaring himself the movement’s dictator, vowed victory over German oppression.

The uprising unfolded with the insurgents seizing control of communication networks and destroying bridges along the Upper Silesian border. Tragically, many soldiers involved in these operations perished in skirmishes or fell victim to German reprisals.

By mid-June, the Allied army extended its occupation, leading to a more balanced distribution of forces. On June 16th, the Polish Command declared a cessation of hostilities, signalling a pivotal moment in the conflict.

The culmination came on July 16th, 1922, with the signing of the Upper Silesia Act of Accession in Katowice, symbolizing Poland’s definitive control over the region.

Legacy of Triumph: Celebrating the Outcome of the Third Uprising

The outcome of the battle for Silesia was met with widespread celebration and embraced by the majority of the population. During commemorations, resolutions were passed ensuring the return of the remaining parts of Upper Silesia to Poland in the future.

Reflecting on this historic victory, Wojciech Korfanty remarked, “The miracle over the Vistula saved Poland from loss, the miracle over the Oder gave Silesia to Poland. These miracles were not wrought by dictators or foreign powers but by the spirit of our nation, its solidarity, citizenship, and sense of responsibility.”

Washington Isn’t Blind to Poland: Nawrocki Reveals What U.S. Officials Are Asking About

“Security issues dominated the discussions, but so did the rule of law and the current situation in Poland. The White House and members of Congress are receiving reports that there is, in fact, an attempt to censor certain media outlets that are independent of the government. The questions I was asked reflected a belief that such things are occurring—that the elections in Poland are unfair due to media censorship, that the rule of law is being violated, and that actions are taking place which should not occur in a democratic state, such as the withdrawal of public funding. There was an effort to confirm from an independent candidate that this is not merely an attempt to impose a political narrative,” said Dr. Karol Nawrocki, candidate for President of the Republic of Poland, who is currently visiting the United States, in an interview with TV Republika.

At the White House, the presidential candidate and president of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), Dr. Karol Nawrocki, met with the President of the United States, Donald Trump. As Trump’s guest, Nawrocki also held many talks at the White House with key Republican officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson.

In a conversation with Karol Nawrocki, Michał Rachoń recalled that during a joint visit of the Polish President and Prime Minister to the U.S., Mike Johnson refused to meet with Donald Tusk, reminding the public of Tusk’s past criticisms of half of the American political class.

“I have always adhered to the principle, in various international roles representing Poland over many years, that one should not speak ill of Poland. Today, many people ask about the irresponsible gestures and words of Donald Tusk. I was asked whether it was fake news that Tusk mimicked pointing a gun at Donald Trump’s back and claimed Trump was a Soviet agent. I had already criticized such political recklessness in Poland, and today I realized that it did not go unnoticed among congressmen, advisors, and ministers close to Donald Trump. These gestures complicate U.S.-Poland relations. Outside our country, we should seek a unified voice and conduct visits that confer seriousness on the Polish state. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Tusk’s behaviour has further consequences, and they are not good for Poland,”

Nawrocki stated.

NATO Relations Are Crucial

Speaking about his vision for transatlantic policy, especially in the context of trade tensions, the presidential candidate said, “We are, and should remain, part of the EU. However, attempts to build an alternative to NATO—such as what is happening within the EU—or efforts at EU centralization coming from Brussels, raise many questions both in Poland and abroad.”

“For us, the alliance with the United States, grounded in shared values over centuries and now having a practical dimension—10,000 U.S. Army troops stationed in Poland and the building of our security architecture—is crucial. We must primarily arm ourselves. We will not build security without the strong conviction that we need a powerful military with good equipment, but we also will not achieve it without strong international relationships. NATO ties are key for Poland. Economically, we need American investment, especially in the field of new technologies, so that we do not miss the moment of technological breakthrough,”

Nawrocki added.

He confirmed that the issue of nuclear energy for Poland also came up during the discussions.

“The U.S. Is Aware of What Is Happening in Poland”

“Security issues dominated the discussions, but so did the rule of law and the current developments in Poland. The White House and members of Congress are receiving reports of efforts to censor some media outlets that are independent of the ruling authorities,” emphasized the Polish presidential candidate.

He stressed that the conversations included discussion of attacks on the media, including TV Republika.

“There were specific questions from people who are aware of the situation surrounding Polish media. Questions were raised about the unlawful withdrawal of public funding from the Law and Justice party—there were at least several such inquiries. These questions conveyed a belief that such things are happening: that elections in Poland are unfair due to media censorship, that the rule of law is being broken, and that actions incompatible with a democratic state are taking place, such as the confiscation of subsidies. This was an attempt to confirm, from an independent candidate, that this is not just the imposition of a political narrative,”

Nawrocki noted.

He pointed out that the use of state institutions to fight the political opposition was also discussed.

“What particularly surprised me was that my interlocutors provided specific examples of what is happening in Poland, trying to ask whether these were issues that the Polish public was also concerned about. The [case of Barbara Skrzypek -ed.] came up,”

he added.

Day of Polish Communities and Poles Living Abroad
twitter.com/PamiecNarodow

Today, on May 2nd, 2025, we celebrate the Day of Polonia and Poles Abroad. This day is dedicated to the millions of Poles who have left their homeland and have settled in different parts of the world. It is a day to recognize their contributions to their adopted countries and their continuing ties to Poland.

Polish diaspora is a large and diverse community, with significant populations in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and the United Kingdom. They have made valuable contributions to their new countries, enriching their cultures with the Polish language, customs, and traditions. They have also kept alive the Polish culture and traditions, preserving their heritage and passing it on to future generations.

The Day of Polonia and Poles Abroad is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity and resilience of the Polish community around the world. It is a reminder of the importance of maintaining strong ties with Poland and of the enduring bonds that connect Poles wherever they may be. Let us take this day to honor the achievements of the Polish diaspora and to reaffirm our commitment to supporting their continued success and growth.

Bodnar’s Prosecutors Pursue Football Fans Over Banner About Trzaskowski. Strong Comment from Jaki

Bodnar’s prosecution has just initiated a special criminal proceeding — meaning they want to imprison football fans. For what? For criticizing Rafał Trzaskowski. An outrageous scandal — how dare anyone criticize him? – mocked MEP Patryk Jaki in response to the news reported by the Niezalezna portal. The politician emphasized that if the vice-Tusk becomes president [Trzaskowski – ed.], there will be “as much freedom in Poland as in Muslim countries.”

Bodnar’s Prosecutors Target Fans Over Anti-Trzaskowski Banner

The prosecution is conducting proceedings against Legia Warsaw supporters in connection with banners that appeared in the stadium in April. These banners contained slogans aimed at the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, and Dr. Gizela Jagielska, a physician involved in a case that led to the death of a child during advanced pregnancy.

According to investigators, the case may involve defamation and insult of the Deputy Chairman of the Civic Platform (PO) and the controversial doctor. The banners displayed at the stadium included the following slogans: “Jagielska = Mengele” and “Rafałek ordered the removal of crosses. Now he pretends to be Catholic – do you know a more hypocritical politician?”

Jaki: “All that’s missing now is for ‘Rainbow Rafał’ to become President of Poland…”

The report was commented on via social media by Law and Justice (PiS) MEP Patryk Jaki.

“Bodnar’s prosecution has just launched a special criminal case — that is, they want to imprison fans. For what? For criticizing Rafał Trzaskowski. An outrageous scandal — how could one criticize him? Specifically, for the banner: ‘Rafałek ordered the removal of crosses, and now pretends to be Catholic. Can you imagine a more hypocritical politician?’”

said the politician in a recorded statement.

Jaki further stated, “Now all that’s missing is for ‘Rainbow Rafałek’ to become president of Poland, sign a hate speech law, and then you’ll have the kind of freedom you find in Muslim countries.”

MP Sebastian Kaleta also pointed out that Bodnar’s team is “pursuing a case that should be a private prosecution matter, meaning the public prosecutor’s office should not be involved at all.”

“An extraordinary scandal — Bodnar’s prosecutors are mere waiters for Tusk and Trzaskowski. They want to crush any criticism of the ruling camp. They are truly terrified of Trzaskowski’s defeat and the spectre of accountability…”

he remarked.

Nawrocki after Talks at the White House: “Members of Congress Are Fully Aware of the Breaches of Rule of Law in Poland”

“I came away from these meetings and discussions with the impression that members of Congress and secretaries are fully aware of what is happening in Poland, particularly in regard to the judiciary and the erosion of the rule of law in the Polish state,” said Karol Nawrocki, civic candidate for the presidency, during a press conference where he spoke about the course of the talks he had participated in at the White House.

Karol Nawrocki at the White House

Karol Nawrocki made an unannounced visit to the White House today. The civic candidate for President of Poland attended a meeting hosted by President Donald Trump with officials on the occasion of the U.S. National Day of Prayer. He also took part in discussions with secretaries and members of Congress.

Commenting on how the meetings unfolded, Member of Parliament Adam Bielan said:

“Karol Nawrocki spent over five hours at the White House, and we will soon return for further meetings. During this time, the chairman met with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Jim Jordan—Chairman of the Judiciary Committee—as well as several members of Congress who have long been friends of Poland. He also participated in the ceremonies marking the National Day of Prayer,”

the politician reported.

“I am very grateful to the White House for the invitation”

Nawrocki also spoke about the meetings he attended.

“I am very grateful to the White House for the invitation to this event, as well as for this series of very meaningful conversations. Poland now needs a president who can ensure strong Polish-American relations. The current Polish government, led by Donald Tusk, has brought these relations into a difficult situation, which was echoed during my visit to the White House. This visit was an opportunity to present my platform and vision for foreign policy as a candidate for the office of President of Poland. Above all, it allowed me to share my views on international relations, Poland’s role, and the nature of Polish-American ties with many important individuals, including secretaries. I took full advantage of this opportunity,”

he said.

He added that “on the agenda of these meetings were also discussions on what is, from the perspective of a future president, most important for us today—namely, military and defence relations.”

“There are 10,000 American soldiers stationed in Poland. What matters most is that we build the potential of our Armed Forces. We will only be strong once we have strengthened our military capabilities, fulfilled our American defence contracts, and built an army of at least 300,000 soldiers. In the architecture of Polish national security, the relationship with the United States and a strong Poland within NATO are of utmost importance. Hence, part of our discussions focused on the presence of U.S. forces and the situation in the European Union,”

he emphasized.

Nawrocki also stated that one of the topics raised during the meetings was investment in new technologies.

“I also brought up the fact that Poland has been placed in the second tier of countries eligible to receive microchip technologies, a decision that Poles do not understand. I asked members of Congress and secretaries whether this should be reconsidered. We are a key U.S. ally and, in the realm of technology, investment, and national development plans, we would like to be included in the top tier of partner countries,”

he declared.

Rule of Law Violations in Poland

The civic presidential candidate, supported by the Law and Justice (PiS) party, also stated that members of Congress and secretaries are aware of legal violations by the “13 December coalition” government in Poland.

“I came away from these meetings and discussions with the impression that members of Congress and secretaries are fully aware of what is happening in Poland, particularly in regard to the judiciary and the erosion of the rule of law in the Polish state,”

he said.
