National Democracy also called Endecja (clipping of Narodowa Demokracja) is a Polish democratic nationalist political movement.
History
Partitions
The first national democratic movement arose in the early twentieth century, under Roman Dmowski. It opposed the Polish Socialist Party, in that instead of advocating for a revolution against the partitioning powers, it preferred a gradual change and smooth transition into independence. Therefore, it was against the 1905 Revolution, and even sided with the Imperial Forces in the uprising. With the beginning of WW1, the Endencja supported Russia in return for promised autonomy, with Dmowski even being part of the Duma.
Interwar Poland
In the interwar period, supporter of national democracy, Eligiusz Niewiadomski assassinated the first President of Poland, Gabriel Narutowicz. In 1926, following the elections, the Endencja entered a coalition with the Polish People's Party. However, the elections turned out to be a disaster, as Jozef Pilsudski, former leader of the Polish Socialist Party declared the election null and void, and staged a military coup. He went on to establish an autocracy, under a non-partisan bloc known as Sanation. The National Party became the main opposition against the military junta. Due to this, many of its leaders were arrested. In 1938, following the death of the original founder Roman Dmowski, the party underwent a, albeit informal and the party retained its unity, split. One faction, the more radical one and headed by Jedrzej Giertych, and a more moderate one, with no leader. However, the whole party opposed the Annexation of Zaolsie and proposed military assistance to Czechoslovakia.
WW2 and Communism
Following the invasion of Poland and the collapse of the Second Polish Republic, the National Party created its own resistance movement, the National Armed Forces, which was created in cooperation with the National-Radical Camp "ABC". Eventually, the Endencja left the National Armed Forces and merged with the Home Army. Following the war, the Party relocated to London. It was opposed to Communism and recognised the Polish Republic government-in-exile.
Modern
Following the collapse of the Polish People's Republic, the National Party relocated back to Poland properly. However, its popularity dropped, and although it still exists, it barely has over 0.5% support. The main National Democratic Party in Poland was the League of Polish families, under Roman Giertych, the grandson of Jedrzej. It was strongly eurosceptic and very nationalist. However, Giertych distanced himself from Endencja's heritage, and left politics in 2007, while the League eventually softened and became a National Liberal and pro-european party. The last remaining party (there are still active organisations, although they are usually Far-right, most notably the All-Polish Youth), is the National Movement, led by Krzysztof Bosak. It is part of the Confederation coalition.
Stylistic Notes
If you are drawing in WWI, he will be strongly pro-Russian, but still nationalist. If you are drawing in the interwar period, add a banner or armband with the Polish flag If you are drawing a member of the NSZ, he may be seen shooting everyone.
How to Draw
- Draw a ball.
- Fill the left half white and the right half red.
- Draw a black letter N on the white side.
- Draw a white letter D on the red side.
- Add the eyes.
- (Optional) Draw it upside-down (as a reference to Polandball)
Personality and Behaviour
Natdem is very nationalist. He memorised all of Dmowski's books and likes to be a member of marches. His favourite food is Kielbasa. He was a member of the NSZ, but was captured and sent to POW camps and tried to escape 33 times (a reference to Jedrzej Giertych, who did do so). He is hated by everyone except for PSL to his hate of Pilsudzki, but that does not bother him. He is very religious, and if under arrest he may be seen lying down in a position on a cross for the whole night. If not, he will go to church every day and sing Polish religious songs like "Boże, coś Polskę".
