Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski (NOP) (National Rebirth of Poland) is a minor nationalist political party in Poland (reaching 0.6% of the popular vote in regional elections as of 2006). It is a member of European National Front and a co-founder of International Third Position.

History and politics

The NOP registered as a political party in 1992. It claims to be the reincarnation of National Radical Camp, the pre-war nationalist youth organisation, which was banned in 1934[1].

NOP publishes magazine Szczerbiec (the name of the Polish royal coronation sword), which lists neofascists Derek Holland and Roberto Fiore among the members of its editorial board[1], Młodzież Narodowa (National Youth), Myśl (The Thought), and Biuletyn NOP. The publishing house was closed after 1989 and the collapse of the Communist regime.

In 2001 NOP membership in Poland was estimated at 500.

In 2001 NOP tried to enter parliamentary politics for the first time. Newly created NOP front organization the New Forces Alliance (Sojusz Nowych Sil) joined nationalist electoral bloc Alternative Social Movement (Ruch Spoleczny Alternatywa, RSA).

In the 2005 Polish parliamentary elections, the NOP received 0.06% of the vote, but about 1,5 % in districts where they started to elections. Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).).


NOP started (as first in Poland) spreading pre-Second Vatican Council teaching of the Catholic Church. "Szczerbiec" published lot of traditional Catholic articles and NOP supported in 90`s Society of St. Pius X in Poland.

Big influence on NOPs views have G. K. Chesterton, Thomas Aquinas, few Popes - mainly Pope Pius V, Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius X, and Polish philosophers or politicians like Feliks Koneczny, Roman Dmowski and a lot of the others...

The party also expressed support for the bombing of Israel at the time of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, with a poster image stating, "Bomby na Izrael - Już czas !!!" ("Bombs against Israel - it's about time!!!")[2]. On August 13, 2006, NOP leader Adam Gmurczyk published a declaration on behalf of the NOP Executive Council titled Izrael musi zostać zniszczony! (Israel must be destroyed!), calling for the international military takeover of Israel, and offering to put administrative control of Jerusalem in the hands of Pope Benedict XVI, and his successors.[3]

The NOP protests against abortion, conducting a campaign called Zakaz Pedałowania (Forbid Homosexuality).[4] On 17 May, 2006 in Toruń NOP organized a counter-demonstration against LGBT rights supporters public meeting. NOP members chanted slogans, including "gas the queers" (pedały do gazu), "there will be a baton for each queer face" (znajdzie się kij na pedalski ryj).[5] · [6]

Party program

The official NOP's program includes[7]:

  • Interest of the whole (Polish) nation is always before everything - social class, religion beliefs, skin color or politic views.
  • Minimal government bureaucracy.
  • It wants to end conscription and to introduce a voluntary army.
  • The party is pro-life and thus opposes euthanasia and abortion.
  • It is against same-sex marriage and LGBT adoption.
  • Strong opposition to EU and NATO.
  • Decommunization and Lustration.
  • It postulates a return of capital punishment (for murderers, rapists, pedophiles, trade of narcotics, organized crime and for acting against the state of Poland) also big penalties for anything against moral acting such as corruption.
  • It is against any form of socialism and liberalism on the moral and economic way of life.
  • National Rebirth of Poland says that the party's ideology can't fit in any form of left-wing and right-wing so it calls itself the "Third Position movement".
