“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.

100 days of Donald Tusk’s government has passed and it is going worse than expected for everyone. But especially for PiS of course. When former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro was mocking the new government from the parliament’s rostrum shouting at them “I hope you won’t be such a bunch of ninnies this time”, he probably […]
Meanwhile in Cuckooland 240: Mood in Poland now.

In recent weeks the Polish politics sped up so much, that I am failing to keep track. After initial hiccups with new government trying to take over of the public TV, which was not without issues, everyone expected them to get stuck and to spin the wheels, but no. The pace of the less spectacular, […]

Donald Tusk’s government is slowly gaining momentum. Squeaks coming from PiS side as they are being gradually pulled away from the through are getting louder too. As Donald Tusk wrote on his twitter, it won’t be light, easy and pleasant work. How hard, difficult and unpleasant it might get we saw when TVP had been […]

The time of Mateusz Morawiecki’s two weeks government came quite uneventful on the political front. As it was obvious to everyone, his appointment served only one purpose: to delay Donald Tusk’s appointment. Related posts: Meanwhile in Cuckooland 212 Good News from Cuckooland!

The elections went as predicted. While PiS came out with the highest result as a single party, they have only secured 194 seats in the parliament, which will not allow them to rule even if they teamed up with right-wing Konfederacja which secured 18 places, as the majority required is 231.

This Sunday Poles go to the polls. A cartoon by Bartosz Minkiewicz, depicting a drowning man desperately trying to carst a vote to the ballot box floating nearby accurately depicts the situation. The stakes are height: either Poland will turn back and slowly start crawling back to the light side – the world of european, […]

There is a term in Poland that evades translation. It is “tupolewizm” and it was coined after the results of the investigation into the Smoleńsk plane crash had been published (the real ones, not the smokescreen directed by Antoni Macierewicz). This term is derived from the name of the plane that crashed in Smoleńsk – […]

Elections are drawing closer. It is clear that PiS is afraid of Donald Tusk, who keeps touring Poland, gathering crowds even in smaller towns. PiS keeps throwing all kinds of shit at him, but nothing seems to be working. In just recent weeks I heard about him being Angela Merkel’s lapdog, a Russian agent, involved […]

Apparently, the election campaign in Poland is at full spin already. The opposition march in Warsaw on 4th of September turned out well. The number of participants had been estimated as high as half a million (a friend of mine passed at the end of the march, several kilometers from the finishing line, and while […]
