Paweł Kasprzak – one of the leaders of Citizens of Poland during a demonstration.
The Citizens of Poland (Polish: Obywatele RP, verbatim Citizens of the Republic of Poland, ORP) is an informal civic movement in Poland engaged in pro-democracy actions and anti-fascist movement, opposed to the actions of the government led by the Law and Justice (PiS) party. Citizens of Poland practice non-violent civil disobedience.
Citizens of Poland organize protests against monthly gatherings led by Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the Law and Justice party, ostensibly to commemorate the victims of the Smoleńsk airplane catastrophe, protesting against the claim it was a political assassination promoted during these meetings.[1][2] During one of their demonstrations a Solidarity-era hero Władysław Frasyniuk was accused of assaulting a policeman and later detained.[3][4] ORP were actively engaged in protests against unconstitutional justice reforms in July 2017.[5] They block extreme right-wing rallies and demand delegalization of organizations promoting rasism and xenophobia.[6]
In January 2018 the movement addressed the opposition parties in Poland demanding open primary elections before regional elections of 2018.[7]
The movement established a network of support, ObyPomoc, for those prosecuted for pro-democracy or anti-fascist activities, arranging pro-bono legal aid.[8] They collect and broadcast information on the police actions and cases against pro-democracy or anti-fascist activists.[9]
