ONR (National Radical Camp)

ONR is an extremist nationalist Polish group.

Ideologically, the ONR stands in the positions of radical Polish nationalism and Catholic clericalism. For 2022, it uses the slogan Polska dla Polaków, understandable and without translation. The camp, along with the conservative Christian All-Polish Youth, acts as the organizer of the nationalist marches on Independence Day on November 11.

History

2022: Proposal to join Ukraine's three regions to Poland

On a platform with petitions change.org in December 2022, a proposal appeared to hold referendums in Ternopol, Lviv and Volyn in order to transfer these lands to Poland.

An English-language appeal to Polish President Andrzej Duda demanding "to make Poland great again" was published on behalf of the National Radical Camp (ONR).

1993: Revival and state registration

In modern history, the camp not only revived in 1993, but also successfully passed state registration, and not too persistent attempts to ban ONR ended in nothing.

1934: Creation of the organization and its prohibition

The ONR was organized in 1934 by activists of the Camp of Greater Poland. They, unlike their associates, advocated the overthrow of the then government and were "fascinated by Hitler," and especially by the way he seized power in Germany.

The group was banned a few months after its founding: activists mainly used the method of political violence in their activities (including anti-Semitic pogroms and attacks on demonstrations of the left), which the government could not accept at that time.
