Remember Przemysław Czarnek, Education Minister to be, one of the main heroes of the last chapter of this series? Remember, how he announced that he has been infected with COVID-19? Well, there is an update to this story. Just before he has found out, he had been visiting his granny in the hospital. Of course, […]

In a response to the letter of 50 ambassadors, who urged Poland to stop discriminating LBGT people, prime minister Morawiecki explained to the world what the truth is. And the truth is, you know, that for LGBT people Poland is a paradise, and they are respected far more than in any other countries. They can […]

Hallelujah! The ruling coalition has been saved. Kaczyński and his two side-kicks finally signed a deal. Alas, we, the public, were not informed about what that deal is really about, but who cares. Our job is just to vote, preferably for them. And then leave politics to the grown-ups. What we do know is that […]

So it’s final. The elections were, apparently, valid. Yeah, there were 20 000 protests or so, but the PiS appointed judges from the Highest Court were rejecting them en masse. For example, 4086 complaints about TVP bias against Trzaskowski were rejected on formal grounds. Apparently complainers were unable to explain how TVP bias could influence […]

When the government promised new fire engines for the parishes that have the highest turnout in the presidential elections, everyone wondered what would happen if the biggest turnout would happen in the places that voted for the opposition candidates. And now we have a chance to watch that, as in Podkarpackie voivodship, traditionally known for […]
