All-Polish Youth was the least radical of organizations of the National Democracy camp. Nevertheless, some of its members praised Mussolini and his Italian fascism for its hardline stances towards the left and realisation of "national revolution". Part of the members, including Jędrzej Giertych, also praised [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]]'s Germany economical changes, but understood that it is with the contradiction with Polish national interests and changed his views a year after [[Nazi Party|NSDAP]] obtained power in Germany.

Some Members of the All-Polish Youth also praised authoritarian regimes of the Mediterranean, [[António de Oliveira Salazar|Salazar]]'s Portugal and [[Francisco Franco|Franco]]'s Spain.<sup>[''citation needed'']</sup> | All-Polish Youth was the least radical of organizations of the National Democracy camp.

In 2006, the Polish Public Prosecutor's office launched an investigation after a video recording from a private party was leaked to the Polish press. It was considered that All-Polish Youth members including Leokadia Wiącek, a personal assistant of Maciej Giertych (member of the European Parliament), were seen fraternizing with Neo-Nazi skinheads, listening to Neo-Nazi bands, and saluting the swastika. Following the incident, Leokadia Wiącek was expelled from All-Polish Youth, and the League of Polish Families cut ties with the group. As it was later determined, during the private party Leokodia Wącek was not a member of the organisation and the main Polish television channel Telewizja Polska apologized to All-Polish Youth for accusing them of neo-nazi connotations. | In 2006, the Polish Public Prosecutor's office launched an investigation after a video recording from a private party was leaked to the Polish press.
