Overview
- Justice Minister and Prosecutor General Waldemar Zurek condemned Grzegorz Braun's remarks as harmful to Poland's standing and said he would initiate legal steps.
- Braun told reporters outside the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial that "Poland is for the Poles" and claimed Jews seek "special treatment" as "super-humans."
- He attacked a 2025–2030 government plan to counter antisemitism and support Jewish life, which officials say is expected to reach cabinet approval by December.
- Braun asserted the former camp grounds are "effectively extraterritorial" and threatened to strip the International Auschwitz Council of authority and funding if his party gained power.
- Jewish groups, including the European Jewish Association, criticized the speech, while coverage noted Braun's prior incidents such as extinguishing a Hanukkah menorah and denying Auschwitz gas chambers, as well as his recent fourth-place presidential finish.
