The Polish National Party (Polish: Polska Partia Narodowa) is a fringe nationalist and ultra-conservative political party in Poland led by Leszek Bubel. Its motto is: "I am Polish, therefore I have Polish obligations", as quoted after the Polish politician and statesman Roman Dmowski whose ideas are used by the starting point for its ideology.
History and leadership
The leader of the party during the 1990s was Boleslaw Tejkowski.[1] Both the party and Tejkowski were notorious for their virulent nationalist and antisemitic propaganda.[1] The party was registered on March 22, 2004. In 2004 the party participated in the European Parliament elections and took the last 21st place with 0.04% votes. In the 2005 elections for the Polish Senate and Sejm, the party received 34,127 votes or 0.29% of the total.[2][3] In Presidential elections of the same year, Leszek Bubel received 18,828 votes, or 0.13%[4] The party did not compete in the 2007 Parliamentary elections nor in the 2009 European Parliament elections.

The Bubel Band
At the beginning of 2008 chairman of the party Leszek Bubel appeared on YouTube with the song "Longinus Zerwimycka".[5] The song made fun of Jews in Poland and told them to go to the United States. The act provoked numerous protests. Despite the protests Bubel released another offensive video clip: "Bzykający Rabin"[6] ("Buzzing Rabbi"). The word "bzykać" in Polish slang means to engage in sex. The PPN website's 2008 domain name "donaldtusk.net" was described by Bubel himself as a bad joke.[7] Until now Bubel band released six albums:
- Longinus Zerwimycka (2008)
- Polskie elity (2008)
- W hołdzie Narodowym Siłom Zbrojnym (2009)
- Żołnierze Wyklęci (2010)
