Polish politics is utterly boring nowadays. I can’t force myself to follow it closely. Some of my friends still do, shocked that Tusk did not turned out to be the saviour they hoped for, but as I had very low expectations, there is nothing that would surprise me. Tusk was doing nothing waiting to get […]

I haven’t written a new Meanwhile in Cuckooland for some time. The truth is, not much is happening in politics in Poland, at least compared to the shitshow we are observing across the ocean. But there is also one other thing: we were promised the change, and we just have more of the usual while […]

After a month from inauguration of the new Polish president Karol Nawrocki, contrary to prophecies of doom, on which the ruling Platforma Obywatelska built their whole election campaign, the world has not ended yet. This might be an unpopular opinion in Poland, but this is by large part because PO and PiS are not as […]

Donald Tusk’s party is not taking the defeat in the presidential election well. True, he instantly moved to assert his dominance by calling of the vote of confidence in the parliament, which he won, but it was not enough to ensure his followers he’s capable to bring victory in the oncoming parliamentary election.

It is yet another time when I turned out to be right, but it does not bring me any joy. Donald Tusk’s party’s candidate, Rafał Trzaskowski, lost the presidential elections to his opponent, Karol Nawrocki, an “independent” candidate supported by PiS. Why did that happen, what PO makes of it and what can we expect? […]

A year and a half since Donald Tusk became prime minister of Poland, the last obstacle – as he claims – preventing him from delivering on his election promises has a chance to be removed. Andrzej Duda’s second term as president of the republic draws to an end. And with that – if the right […]

The year 2024 is nearly over. I am not writing as much of my Absurdistan columns because, frankly speaking, Polish politics got really boring and predictable now, at least for the people who, like me, didn’t expect too much from Donald Tusk’s led coalition. But as some of the readers reached out to me to […]

It has been a year since the 2023 elections, which were deemed by many to be the final battle to save democracy in Poland. While PiS had been removed from power though, things are not going as well as some expected, and many Poles are disappointed with the style of government presented by Donald Tusk. […]

As I was preparing for my Finnish test and then had a month long holidays, I decided to give myself a break from the news and the social media (for the most part). But this time it was different – this time I completely fell out of the loop. Why? Related posts: Meanwhile in Cuckooland […]

“Live by the sword, die by the sword”. This old proverb can describe well how PiS’ rein is going to end. As Donald Tusk’s government is not wasting any time in his attempt to bring PiS politicians and activists to justice, one of the investigations is dealing with the embezzlement of the Justice Funds money.
