Incumbent Andrzej Duda came up first with just over 40% – which was much less than PiS hoped for.

Remember that village chief from Tuszów Narodowy, known for his fanatic ultra catholic fixation? If not, look here. And why am I bringing him up again?

I am no longer being told that calling my own country “Absurdistan” is not fair. Probably because everyone sees by now, that it fully deserves this name.

Yet another record transport has arrived in Poland! But for some reason, the government has not decided to make this one into a big propaganda event, as they did with the medical transport from China last week.

If you believe government propaganda in TVP, Poland’s answer to Coronavirus is the best, and everyone in Europe is jealous of how well we can manage the crisis. Even Donald Trump asked us to send some of our experienced doctors to help tackle the pandemic in Chicago. Click HERE to read the previous part of […]
