It seems that the divisions between PiS and its side-kick coalition parties deepen. When the early elections for the mayor of Rzeszów have been announced, Zbigniew Ziobro’s party put up his own candidate. Marcin Warchoł, the deputy justice minister, has been recommended to a surprise of everyone by the outgoing left-wing mayor. He quickly began […]

It seems that Mateusz Morawiecki is a bit washed down and his replacement is being prepared. Therefore Orlen CEO and trusted man of Kaczyński, Daniel Obajtek was (I guess, ironically, as this is the man responsible for taking over independent local media) named “Man of Freedom 2020” by the pro-PiS weekly “Sieci”. In a cringe-worthy […]

Another week, another attack on the PiS politician phone. This time it’s Marek Suski, and the hacker complained on his behalf about a woman who “sexually molested him”, publishing her sexy photos and a link to much more explicit material.

Some say, that the rule of PiS is good only for members of PiS, who can get good jobs or obtain some lucrative contract. The case of Adam Hofman proves that it’s not true. After being kicked out from PiS for committing fraud on travel cost reimbursement, he’s doing pretty well. Without having any experience […]

WYPIERDALAĆ. Get the fuck out. This is the word heard everywhere across Poland now. I know, it’s vulgar, and redactor Čulik would probably try to smooth it out, but please don’t. We are journalists, and our duty is to inform, to tell how it is. And this is how it is: Poles don’t ask politely […]

As predicted, with the election won PiS instantly executed a radical handbrake turn. Promises by Andrzej Duda – such as those of additional money for pensioners – were scrapped day after the preliminary results were announced. Apparently it would be too expensive. Promises “tourist token”, a coupon that was supposed to allow Poles to enjoy […]

After the elections that haven’t taken place, the political atmosphere in Poland is cooling down. Platforma Obywatelska decided to use that unexpected development to replace their candidate – Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, that proved to be unable to connect with the voters will give way for a Rafał Trzaskowski – who a year ago knocked-out PiS candidate […]
The Gospel according to Polish right
Krzysztof Bosak, one of the leaders of Polish radical right, goes to the church every Sunday, as the true Pole and Catholic should do. But he is not just a passive listener of the summons – he takes it on himself as well to spread the Gospel, for example on Twitter. But when one filters […]
