    I think Poland is tracking a couple of years ahead of those of us further west, so it’s useful for us to see how you resolve the damage the right wing populists have caused. I think many of us will face the same problem in the future.

    Good luck guys.

      Most are happy to see PiS being removed forcibly from every institution they’re entrenched in but it is yet to be seen if we can actually get the proverbial genie back into the bottle. Public TV is now in much better place but is quite strongly pro government policies, just not in absurdly propagandist way. The way takeover was done is rather debatable too.

      this all was made easier by the fact that PiS didn’t seriously consider that they would lose elections, some pooling they did even indicated they’d get constitutional majority

      That, and they took over institutions without care for actual law, in some cases it made easier to take them over after the last elections, but mostly created huge mess, two parallel legal realities and soured relations with EU massively. Don’t count on either in other countries, your far-right/alt-right can be more competent
