This is just one part of a full-court press by the EU to remove the current conservative government. They are also withholding the EU stimulus funding because the Polish courts ruled that Polish law and Poland's constitution take precedence over any claim by EU courts. Curiously the German Federal court has made the same decision about EU funding, limiting Germany's ability to participate in Euro-bonds, but somehow -surprise!- Germany doesn't face the same penalties.

The EU's chosen man for Poland, former President Tusk, returned to Poland over the summer to try to revive the moribund opposition Civic Platform party. He's clearly the globalists' favorite. However, the opposition keeps making it clear how repulsive their plans are for Poland, for example calling for the "refugees" now blocked at the Belarussian border to be admitted and an opposition MP just screamed about "sawing" Catholics in half and wanting to ban broadcasts of masses from public television channels. This in a country where I think 93% of the population are practicing Catholics. I hope their bout of foot-in-mouth disease continues.

The good thing is that the opposition is shooting itself in the other foot.

That 93% is out of date. I wish it were the case, but the number is more like 60%. It’s good, but not as good as it should be.

we have a lot of people who believe that “Poland should become a ‘normal’ country allowing free abortion and LGBT”.

I see these people as mainly in the big cities - in Warsaw and Wroclaw. There is pressure to be pro-LGBT and pro-abort or else you are looked at askance. This is due to the media - wyborcza is a leftist rag.

There are many Catholeftists who somehow turn a blind eye to this - as evidenced by Szymon Holownia.

Me, I support Konfederacja, but vote for PiS for the President and for when I have no choice. Konfederacja is open markets but conservative socially (i.e. no abortion, no LGBT).

PiS - Prawo i Sprawiedliwosc (Law and Justice) is big gov, welfare state but socially conservative. So I don’t like them, but I like the others less.

Among “the otherS” we have
1. the ex-commies - SLD, who were voted out of parliament in the 2015 election but got in this time (a party needs to get a minimum of 5% to get into parliament)
2. the fake left
3. the gay left
4. the centre-leftIS - PO - which Tusk is a part of. These guys are smallER government than PiS but leftish socially. They’ve been pushed more to the left.

Thankfully the “leftish” are too busy with infighting to win. However that doesn’t make me a fan of the ruling party
