(Washington Post) - The right-wing Polish government is continuously breaking new ground in its attacks on democracy and the rule of law. But now it has set a truly astonishing precedent. Warsaw has just used its European Union powers to deport a government critic and banned her from entering any country within the European free movement zone. The implications are ominous and not only for Poland.
Lyudmyla Kozlovska, a young human rights defender, is a fervent promoter of democratic Poland. ...
This week, the Polish government deported Kozlovska. The authorities have not provided any explanation, but the likely reason is clear enough. She and her Polish husband, Bartosz Kramek, had criticized the government for what they see as its efforts to undermine the countrys democracy....
On Monday, Kozlovska traveled to Brussels after a brief trip to Ukraine. To her shock, she was turned away at the border. Polish officials had placed an alert in the Schengen Information System (SIS), a shared EU database flagging unwelcome foreigners during border control. Kozlovska and Kramek say they have reason to believe that the Internal Security Agency regards them as a threat to public safety....
I spoke with two lawyers working on E.U. migration cases, and they both confirmed that Kozlovskas case is no exception. Any foreigner can be deported from the European Union the same way. The SIS alert system just wasnt designed to deal with internal abuse by an E.U.-member country.

A Ukrainian woman who has been expelled from Poland aided Russia in its “hybrid warfare” against the West, according to reports by a Moldova-based website.
The woman, named as Ludmila Kozlovska, has been accused of hybrid warfare between Russia and the Occident, the en.publika.md website has reported, citing a document that it said was recently presented in the European Parliament.
According to the website, Kozlovska, who heads the Open Dialog Foundation, an NGO registered in Poland, has been expelled from Poland and the European Union after her name was added to the Schengen Information System, a key EU travel and crime database. She faced immediate deportation, en.publika.md reported.

That Poland is so MEAN! How dare they decide to wake up and survive!
anyone associated with KAPO Soros deserves to be deported, to a jail cell or Syria.
Where’s the proof she was with Soros, Poland is booting her out because of the accusation of hybrid warfare for the Russians. What an addition to the headline!
I dont know if its proof, but from the article: have labeled her as an agent of George Soros,
The right-wing Polish government is continuously breaking new ground in its attacks on communism and on those would would circumvent the rule of law.
The Polish government is fighting their own battle to get rid of the deep state within.
I do not think that the Washington Post is qualified to write about politics in Poland. They need to take a few courses from PragerU (and pass them).
I wouldn’t exactly call PiS as right-wing. Their economic and social policies are leftish - big government. however they are mildly nationalist and conservative socially —> the previous government was economically rightish and social policies center while nationally neutral and center-left socially
