In a televised appeal, Andrzej Seweryn conveyed a message from activists associated with Action Democracy, urging French voters to rethink supporting Marine Le Pen’s National Rally. The actor’s live reading included a warning against what he described as “Polish mistakes” and cautioned against backing what he characterized as the far right.
The letter, presented by Seweryn on behalf of Action Democracy, carried a somber tone that drew direct parallels to Poland’s own encounter with what many labeled as the far right. The appeal underscored concerns about political rhetoric and the long shadow such movements cast over social cohesion and policy direction.
As voters faced the second round of France’s parliamentary elections, the message urged a cautious approach, stating that the far right has not shown itself capable of solving shared social challenges. Instead, it warned that a government built on division and hostility tends to prioritize narrow interests and to generate new problems that communities must endure for years to come.

Action Democracy, according to Seweryn, described eight years under the ruling party as a period of far-right authoritarianism that testingly shaped political life. The appeal framed voting as a collective decision and urged broad participation, drawing a parallel to past experiences with governance under similar ideological forces.
That framing prompted the speaker to advocate for a large turnout, reflecting a belief that mass participation could help avoid a return to policies believed to have constrained civil liberties and economic opportunity. The message suggested that choosing a different path was possible, one that would not entrust power to a single party or a narrow faction.
– Seweryn’s remarks were presented as a public, earnest appeal with a sense of urgency about the consequences of political allegiance and the role that civic engagement plays in shaping the country’s future.
Critics argued that the public airing of such positions could expose personal or professional reputations to criticism, especially when the message comes from prominent figures speaking on politically charged topics. The discussion around the speech touched on the broader debate about the responsibilities of public figures when addressing foreign audiences and the potential impact on their own standing.
