The National-Radical Camp (Polish: Obóz Narodowo-Radykalny, ONR) is a far-right nationalist non-political movement in Poland associated with the Polish National Movement. It considers itself an ideological descendant[1] of the political movement which existed before World War II, sharing the same name. As of 2012 it is registered as a common-interest association[2] and cooperates with the National Movement electoral alliance.

ONR march in Kraków, July 2007

The ONR attracted publicity in 2005, 2007, and 2008 for unauthorized marches during the anniversary of the anti-Jewish riot in Myślenice from 1936 against the city council allegedly giving preferential treatment to Jewish merchants.[3] In 2005 the group had a couple of hundred members.[4]

The illegal rally held on June 30, 2007, resulted in a court case, in which the ONR leader, Wojciech Mazurkiewicz, was acquitted only because the magistrate warning was issued too late, according to the presiding judge.[5] The 2008 rally led by the same ONR leader was taped by police with the intention of sharing the video with the local prosecutors office according to Lesser Poland Police.[3][6]

The ONR members at 2008 rally in Myślenice made a Roman salute before disbanding. When questioned by reporters at the scene, the ONR leader claimed it is different from the Nazi salute.[7]

The association has also been known as initiators of marches during the National Independence Day of Poland. One of them (in Warsaw), as a co-initiative of several different nationalist movements in 2010, evolved in 2012 into one of the biggest events during the day, which now attracts more diverse community.[8] Since 2012 it has been organized by a registered association,[9] which ONR is still part of.[10]
