During a volleyball match between Poland and Germany last night, Polish fans unfurled a giant banner reading, "Protect your women, not our democracy!" They were referencing the New Yearâs Eve sex attacks and recent European Union (EU) threats to suspend Polish voting rights due to actions of their new right wing government.
The Polish men's volleyball team lost the qualifying game for the 2016 Olympics 2-3 on Friday. However, some fans walked away from the Berlin match feeling as if they had won a minor political victory.
Polish sports fans have form when it comes to making bold statements regarding mass migration and EU authoritarianism at prominent fixtures. Football (soccer) fans unveiled an enormous anti mass migration banner at game in November, blaming the EU for importing terrorism into Europe following the Paris attacks.

For the sake of readers trying to grasp this Polish-German rift....the Polish authorities after the recent election decided that the national state-run TV empire would be run by the Treasury Department instead of a independent commission. They ran through the draft quickly, voted, and in a matter of just a month....it was done.
The German state-run news media has come out blazing and it’s a nightly thing where they try to hype the anti-democracy theme of this change.
Some Germans (probably near half the adult population) will admit (1) they don’t watch much of the German state-run TV, (2) they dislike the monthly TV tax, and (3) they’d like to fire the German independent commission that monitors German state-run TV.
Thanks for that information, Verdelet and pepsionice. Poland is standing up to the socialist EU, and I pray that they succeed. I am glad to hear that the Poles would protect their women from the Muslim rape squads. It’s becoming clear the Germans won’t.
I don't like the limited number of bridges across the Oder and the limited transport options between Poland and the Czech Republic or the fact that Poland only has one decent port but we can work to improve the logistics by selling it as an effort to "tie Poland closer to Europe". In any event, common interest dictates the need for closer ties to Poland and weaker ties to Germany. Germany is after all turning into the new France.

The Poles, having suffered conquest by the Nazis and then the Russians will not NOW let anyone invade their nation, including the boodless Muslim invasion.
Merkle is about to be turfed into political oblivion.
The Poles are taking a stand culturally. Interesting.
“The soul of Poland is indestructible... she will rise again as a rock, which may for a spell be submerged by a tidal wave, but which remains a rock. “ Churchill
This is great. I would love to go spend some tourism dollars in EU places that have not gone totally insane - like Poland and Hungary.
Agreed. BTW I love Poles......always have known a few and are my favorite folk, right up there with the Dutch Conservatives.
Churchill is right. Look no further than here:

Thanks for that background.
Thank you for your comments as a Pole. May God bless and keep your country. Stay strong against the invasion.
NOW

I think you mean NOT.
Coming to a country near you.
Pray America wakes
No no, What I meqnt was that the Poles having historically having suffered previous invasions they are NOW now going to allow a bloodless invasion of Poland.
Its a real bummer for Merkle to have to put up with having a free Polish nation right next door to a German nation loosing its freedom at the hands of Merkles liberal fascist government.
I’d say the EU’s days are numbered.They have economic problems and now , very real cultural differences which will tear the EU apart. Neither Poland or the Baltic Republics will go the way of EU liberal fascism.They have paid too dearly for their present freedoms and have not forgotten like the rest of Europe.
DziÄkujÄ :)
âThe soul of Poland is indestructible...”
While the other Eastern European nations lived under USSR communist dictatorship emerging with their Catholicism obsolete, their churches as museums, not so the poles. They gave us a pope, one of the few greats, too, a saint. Oh. And St Faustina, the first declared saint of the Twenty-First Century
