Polish external security in the political concepts of League of Polish Families and National Movement

Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the assumptions and objectives of Po-land’s external security policy in the political concepts of the Liga Polskich Rodzin (the League of Polish Families) and Ruch Narodowy (the National Movement). These are two parties of the national camp, which during the Third Republic of Po-land introduced their representatives to the parliament: LPR independently, while RN from the lists of Kukiz’15 and Konfederacja electoral committees. Both parties, thanks to their presence in the parliament, tried to change the reality by formulating and presenting to the citizens their vision of Polish politics from the point of view of national values. One of the elements of this vision was the concept of external security. LPR and RN considered the most important political principle for Poland to be guided by the national interest and the realization of certain postulates arising from this assumption. The article analyses the main and detailed goals that both parties set for themselves, the opportunities and threats that could facilitate or hinder their realization and the methods they used to achieve their aims. The article uses a testimonial analysis of political thought and a comparative method.
