Speak up about Poland

Oh, shut up. Poland has chose it's way. If that doesn't suit your liberal, marxist agenda, so be it. Democracy is what people want, not what global elites tell them!

I would argue the opposite. It is the previous government of PO that introduced a monolithic and highly ideologized media. What the current government of PiS is doing is restoring the balance and plurality in the media. I also wish the current government all the luck in the introduction of all social reforms it has on the table. Let the Polish families finally feel that a state supports them and not oppresses economically. The previous PO government was very anti-social. It seemed to care only about the well-being of global companies in Poland, not average Poles.

Celebrity Europhile Garton-Ash is a blindly single minded defender of all things EU, that is a German-led neoliberal EU.

How is liberalism working for Germans in Cologne?

Poles are smart, they have suffered and can definitely smell the storm during the calm..

– During the rule of PO-PSL coalition, independent journalists were repeatedly harassed by the security agencies. The staff of, among others, “Gazeta Polska” had their homes searched. In May 2011, at six in the morning, agents of the Internal Security Agency entered the flat of an Internet user who ran a satirical website on Bronis³aw Komorowski.
– Independent journalists were dismissed from their posts as they demanded honest investigation into the Smolensk crash. Tomasz Sakiewicz and Anita Gargas, among others, lost their jobs in the public media. Cezary Gmyz was dismissed from the editorial staff of “Rzeczpospolita” for publishing information indicating that there were traces of TNT found on the wreck of the plane that crashed at Smolensk. Later, the information was confirmed by the prosecutors leading the investigation.
– In June 2014, agents of the Internal Security Agency raided the office of a weekly “Wprost” which revealed stenographic records of conversations held by most important politicians. The agents wanted to confiscate computers and data storage discs belonging to the journalists. The so called tape scandal that erupted a few days earlier, provided evidence, among other things, that state-owned companies subsidized only the media writing in favour of the government. They ignored such indicators as reading of the press. Media houses were pressed not to place their advertisements in the independent press.

It reminds me the politics of Tayyip Erdogan in turkey.A new bad boy in our yard.or maybe a new test to see what is the future?

The polish are copying other monkeys like erdogan and orban. They are just establishing a dictatorship like in turkey and hungary, getting ready to raid the wealth of the country in the name of "the people". Whoever has doubts or questions the "visionary leader" is thrown to jail.

About time for monkey countries to exit EU. First, monkey countries should return all of the money they received from tax payers. And good luck with the dictators you chose. You are stuck with them for good

Poland is a role model for those Europeans who want to retain their identities and culture. Not that I agree with all of their policies (but it´s their country, not mine).
