Polish far-right leader Braun to face second trial

Grzegorz Braun, a Polish far-right leader, faces trial for anti-Ukrainian, anti-Jewish, anti-LGBT, and anti-EU actions during his presidential campaign. Prosecutors have charged him with theft of flags, criminal defamation, and property destruction. Braun's rhetoric often aligns with Russian propaganda, and he has previously attacked Jewish ceremonies. His party, Confederation of the Polish Crown, remains popular in polls. Braun's immunity was lifted by the European Parliament, allowing these charges to proceed. He is already on trial for other alleged crimes, including vandalism of a Jewish ceremony.
