Grzegorz Michał Braun (born 11 March 1967) is a Polish politician. He has served as a member of the Sejm for Rzeszów[note 1] and as Chairman of the Confederation of the Polish Crown (abbreviated in Polish as KKP) since 2019.[2][3][4][5] He has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) since 2024.[6]

Braun's political career began when he announced his candidacy in the 2015 presidential election. He formed the campaign committee "God Bless You!", but received a minimal percentage of the vote. His political journey continued with participation in discussions on European and Russian relations and his candidacies in various elections including for the mayoral office of Gdańsk and the European Parliament. Despite electoral setbacks, he was elected to the Sejm at the 2019 parliamentary election. He was reelected at the 2023 parliamentary election. Braun's tenure in politics has been marked by controversy, including inflammatory remarks during the COVID-19 pandemic and endorsements of independent nuclear capabilities for Poland.

Braun holds anti-American,[7] anti-Protestant,[8] and anti-LGBT,[9] views, aligning himself with Traditionalist Catholicism and Polish nationalism.[8] While in the Sejm, his activities have been characterised by a series of antisemitic incidents and pro-Russian stances, including referring to Polish Jews as "the enemies of Poland" and participants "in the Satanic cult". In 2023, he invaded a Holocaust lecture, destroyed equipment, and made more derogatory comments about Jews. Later that year he extinguished a Hanukkah menorah in the Sejm, leading to his exclusion from the session.
