The term "anti-Polonism" is said to have been used for campaign purposes by political parties such as the League of Polish Families () or the defunct Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland () and organizations such as the Association against Anti-Polonism led by Leszek Bubel, leader of the Polish National Party and a former presidential candidate. Bubel was taken to court by a group of ten Polish intellectuals who filed a lawsuit against him for "violating the public good". Among the signatories were former Foreign Minister Władysław Bartoszewski and filmmaker Kazimierz Kutz.
