The most probable scenario came to pass in the aftermath of the 2023 Polish parliamentary elections (see my report on it here). To sum up events: The conservative Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (Law & Justice, or PiS) party, which had been in power for the two terms, won the most votes, but not enough to gain the total majority of seats in the Parliament.

Now there is a Pole memed round the world . . .

The questions everyone on the dissident Right is asking are how did that happen, and is Grzegorz Braun our guy?

Over a few weeks in the summer of 2015, a veritable migratory route was set up stretching from Turkey and Greece to Hungary, the guardian of the Schengen Zone’s southeastern border. (more…)

Interview with Grégor Puppinck, Director of the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ)

In November of this year, Poles will vote to elect a new Sejm (parliament), and therefore a new government. Under pressure at the national level from the Euro-enthusiastic liberals on its left and the patriots and nationalists of Konfederacja on its right, the center-Right coalition led by the Law and Justice Party (PiS) is not certain to win the upcoming elections after two consecutive terms.
