Falanga (organisation)

At the peak of its development, Falanga had branches in Kraków, Zielona Góra, Bydgoszcz, Olsztyn, Gdańsk, Poznań and Warsaw.

Falanga supports Eurasianism, a geopolitical vision whose core is the alliance of Russia and Western Europe against the United States.

[12] Falanga joined the new, pro-Russian Zmiana party in February 2015,[13] which was founded by former MP and Samoobrona RP spokesman Mateusz Piskorski.

[13][14] Bekier became deputy head of Zmiana,[15] and Krakow Falanga member Michał Prokopowicz became its security expert and regional coordinator for Lesser Poland.

[17] Zmiana leader Mateusz Piskorski was arrested 16 days later by the Internal Security Agency, and was later charged with spying for Russia and China.

[18] Falanga allied itself with the Czech Republic's National Democracy party (ND) on July 4, 2015, participating in a joint conference on Central European issues and an anti-American protest at the US consulate in Krakow.

[19] On August 15 of that year, a delegation from Falanga and Xportal.pl participated in anti-liberal and anti-immigrant demonstrations organized by the National Democracy party in Prague.

The Kraków district court of affirmed the position of the prosecutor's office that the crime was a terrorist one, and found all the accused guilty.

[35][36][37][38] Prokopowicz testified that the terrorist attack was organised and financed by German journalist Manuel Ochsenreiter, whose spokesperson denied the accusation.
