Poland’s highest administrative court has ruled that anti-LGBT resolutions adopted by local authorities were rightly annulled by lower courts.

In the first such legally binding rulings, it found that the resolutions “violate the dignity” of LGBT people notesfrompoland.com/2022/06/29/pol…

Joe Biden started and ended his speech in Warsaw today by drawing on Poland's anti-communist history as inspiration for Ukraine's resistance against Russia.

He also praised the Polish people for 'opening their hearts and their homes' to Ukrainian refugees notesfrompoland.com/2022/03/26/bid…

It's extraordinary to watch the Biden visit now - and Poland's new position - when not long ago Duda and the Polish government were siding with Trump, not acknowledging Biden's election win, while their only allies in Europe were Putin stooges. A huge change in times of crisis.

On days like today I keep hearing talk about how “if Poland doesn’t want to be a member of the EU, let them go their own way”, or “if Poland doesn’t want to be a liberal democracy, then fine, nobody’s forcing them”. Aside from being smug and unhelpful, these takes are just plain

Mayo for Sam

If you’re following this evening’s events in Poland and are in the least bit shocked or even surprised at what has transpired, then clearly you haven’t been paying enough attention over the last six years. And you should. Because it might be your democracy next.

Today is a crucial day for Polish democracy [THREAD], as MPs vote on a new media bill that could shut down or change ownership of the leading private TV news channel critical of the government. If this happens, in my view, Poland tips over the brink away from a free democracy. 1/
