Konfederacja (Kon) is a Polish political alliance on the right to far-right spectrum, combining radical economic liberalism with a deeply conservative, nationalist worldview. The party openly criticizes the established system and rejects Poland's deep integration into the EU.

Values and Worldview

The foundation of Konfederacja is built upon a tense symbiosis of libertarian individualism and a Catholic-nationalist collective identity. While one faction views the state as a threat to personal freedom, the other sees it as a shield for traditional Christian values and national sovereignty. Its conception of the individual oscillates between the self-reliance of the free entrepreneur and the citizen's duty to the nation. They are united in their rejection of modern, secular liberalism and a strong welfare state.

Policy Priorities

The political agenda of Konfederacja focuses on radical deregulation: massive tax cuts, the abolition of social benefits, and a lean state are top priorities. Concurrently, the party pursues a restrictive social policy, opposing abortion and fighting against LGBTQ+ rights. Its primary target demographics include young men, small business owners, and EU-skeptic nationalists. In foreign policy, it advocates a "Poland First" strategy, critically questioning international obligations and viewing Brussels as an illegitimate actor within the Polish legal system.

Role in the Political System

Within Poland's political system, Konfederacja operates as an anti-establishment force. It positions itself not only against the liberal center but often to the right of established conservative parties. Its relationship with the rule of law is characterized by a strong emphasis on national sovereignty.
