There is One Poland (

anti-COVID-19 restriction movement started in 2021 by the mayor of Siemianowice Śląskie, Rafał Piech.[4] The party calls itself "the true right" and promotes climate change denial, the New World Order conspiracy theory, and opposes COVID-19 vaccines, calling the COVID-19 pandemic a "medical experiment".[1][3]

Main proposals of the party include protecting traditional money and currency as one of the provisions of the

social security and vaccinations optional only, and construction of new coal mines and a gradual increase in coal mining.[2] It was one of the seven nationwide committees for the 2023 Polish parliamentary election.[5]

History

The PJJ social movement has its origins in protests against the restrictions during

PiS club), former MP Jan Łopuszański (President of Porozumienie Polskie), Zbigniew Hałat (former Deputy Minister of Health and Chief Sanitary Inspector), journalist Jan Pospieszalski and social activists Karolina Elbanowska and Tomasz Elbanowski.[6] In early 2022, the PJJ association and foundation was established, but later put into liquidation. Later, in December 2022, a narrower group applied for registration of the political party, with Rafał Piech as chairman, Piotr Klein as 1st vice-chairman, Krzysztof Olszewski as 2nd vice-chairman and Jarosław Mirończuk as secretary. The court entered the party in the register of political parties on 9 February 2023.[7] In June of the same year, a programme congress was held in Warsaw.[8]

Republican Party).[9]

In 2023, the party ran a radically right-wing campaign - its program included a demand that family gardens be sold with a 99 percent discount for Polish nationals; the year 1989 was described as "the time when the fourth partition of Poland began", and Poland was described as a colony of the "Western capital". PJJ heavily emphasized its slogan "God, family, homeland" and strongly attacked environmental proposals, arguing that Poland should continue to bet heavily on coal. The party denounced

Law and Justice and Confederation, as the party took votes exclusively from these parties.[11]

Program

There is One Poland uses the slogan "God, Family, Homeland". The party's ideological tenets are based on the defence of national and social conservative values. The party focuses on four areas: policies for entrepreneurs, agriculture, energy and the rights of disabled people. Among other things, it proposes a voluntary Social Security program for entrepreneurs for a period of three years and making health contributions dependent on income. In agriculture, the party supports deregulation and the extension of free market principles for local food producers, as well as the promotion of Polish food and appropriate labelling. In energy, it advocates the preservation of coal-based and geothermal energy. The party also wants to see an increase in the nursing allowance and benefit, and for carers of disabled people to be able to work. It stresses that Polish membership in the European Union must be conditional, and maintained only if it brings beneficial cooperation.[12]

Calling itself "the true right", the party brings together conservative voters and "orphans of PiS", former PiS voters now disillusioned with the party. There is One Poland closely identifies with

New World Order conspiracy theory, stating that it has to be stopped and replaced with what the party calls "Divine World Order" (Polish: Boży Porządek Świata).[2]
