Central Anti-corruption Bureau (CBA) […]

Not only priests are being molested now (a local priest from Warsaw demands that his neighbours change their WiFi network name from Lucifer to something acceptable for a Christian neighbourhood – apparently he never heard about Saint Lucifer of Cagliari), but, to a surprise of […]

How time flies! It’s mid-July already! It’s July already?!?! pic.twitter.com/pm7fDC7mNS — Calvin and Hobbes (@Calvinn_Hobbes) 1 lipca 2018 And even if there is nothing major happening in Polish politics, after the dust from European Elections settled down, it does not mean, that there weren’t any significant events taking place.

As I am trying whenever possible to make my own mind on the various political topics, I try avoid enclosing myself in my social bubble and aim to follow closely the whole political spectrum in Poland. And so when I was browsing what the extreme right has to offer for the oncoming EU elections, I […]
