Stanisław Andrzej Michalkiewicz (born 8 November 1947 in Lublin) is a Polish right-wing political commentator, lawyer, former politician, opposition activist in the communist Polish People's Republic, and book author. Michalkiewicz is known for making anti-Semitic comments involving the Holocaust.
Career
Michalkiewicz graduated in 1969 from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University with a law degree. In 1972 he completed postgraduate studies at the University of Warsaw. In 1987 he co-founded Ruch Polityki Realnej which subsequently transformed into the Real Politics Union. Following the collapse of Communism, between 1991 and 1993, he served as a judge at the State Tribunal of the Republic of Poland. He served as the Chairman (1997-1999) and Vice-Chairman (2004 to 18 April 2005) of Real Politics Union.
Michalkiewicz is the author of political columns and articles published in newspapers and magazines such as Najwyższy Czas!, Powściągliwość i Praca, Nasza Polska, Nasz Dziennik, Gazeta Polska, Dziennik Polski, Niezależna Gazeta Polska, Goniec and others. He has published several sociopolitical books. His feature articles are transmitted by Polskie Radio Program I (Polish Radio One), Radio Maryja and TV channel Telewizja Trwam.
On 27 March 2006 speaking on Radio Maryja, he made anti-Semitic remarks when he said that "Jews are trying to force a ransom from our government which they covertly call restitution". Michalkiewicz also said the country was being "humiliated" by Jews "at the site of the former death camp Auschwitz" and in April, 2006, was reported in Gazeta Wyborcza as stating that "men from Judea ... are trying to surprise us from behind", and referring to the World Jewish Congress as "a main firm in the Holocaust Industry". Michalkiewicz responded by calling Gazeta Wyborcza "an unusual example of the Jewish fifth column in Poland" and "a Jewish newspaper for Poles". He was investigated by prosecutors for "publicly insulting members of the population due to their nationality". However, in September 2006 prosecutors dropped the charges as while Michalkiewicz belittled the facts of the Holocaust he was not criminally culpable for denying Nazi crimes. Following the Michalkiewicz affair, the Vatican expressed its deep concern and urged Polish bishops to take action to keep the station under control.
In 2018, Michalkiewicz caused outrage when he equated a rape survivor with a whore. The woman, who had been raped when she was 13 years old, won a 1 million złoty verdict against the religious order of the perpetrator priest Roman Behrendt who was also sentenced to eight years in jail. The rape victim later sued Michalkiewicz for defamation, and won a 150,000 złoty verdict against him.
In 2019, Polish Australians and Jewish Australian community leaders protested Michalkiewicz's invitation to Australia by the Nasza Polonia group, due to his provocative statements on Jews and the Holocaust.
