When Blisty wanted to write about PiS backing down and submitting to the European Tribunal of Justice ruling last week, I advised caution.

Finally, the truth about the vaccines is out! A strange uniformed organization, a bit of crossover between Slavic Rodnovery, Neo-Nazis and paramilitary anti-Semitic organization, calling themselves “Bydgoskie Bractwo Rodaków – Bydgoszcz Camaraderie of the Countrymen” organized a “March for freedom and health” in their city.

Apart from hunters, the State Forests are mentioned frequently in this series. This peculiar organisation is an unusual mix between a state institution tasked with managing the public property (that is, the forest) on behalf of the nation and a company making money from exploiting it.

The never-ending series about Daniel Obajtek (see previous chapters of that series), a “wonderful manager” and one of Kaczyński’s favourites, who turns out to have a lot of shady deals left and right, and by now looks like the king of crooks – if we believe independent media and the opposition – follows the Alfred […]

A government VIP vehicle, that, according to witnesses, was driving through Warsaw well over the speed limit, had smashed into a small Škoda. Its driver was unconscious and has been taken to the hospital and his car is […]
