Wow. It’s almost like dialogue works better than shouting at people and trying to criminalise what they’re saying. If only we’d known this before. twitter.com/notesfrompolan…

'Polish bishops declared a “zero tolerance” policy for pedophilia in the Church. Yet dealing with the issue remains problematic. Only 5 of 44 dioceses have released the numbers of priest perpetrators [and] bishops act with a “besieged fortress” attitude' cruxnow.com/february-abuse…

The government has cut funding for ECS, which 'sees its mission as adapting the Solidarity message for the 21st century. But its vision for a progressive, inclusive, liberal Poland are in conflict with the PiS vision: conservative, nationalist, patriotic' irishtimes.com/news/world/eur…

Almost 16,000 small stores have closed in Poland since the introduction of the ban.
This is obvious to anyone living in Polish cities, where in many areas it's impossible to find small independent grocery shops, which have been replaced by generic mini-market chains. twitter.com/notesfrompolan…

The museum came under fire last year from conservatives and nationalists. The culture minister accused it of 'political engagement' for drawing parallels between the antisemitic purges of 1968 and the current situation in Poland. Two PiS senators made an official complaint.

The Sunday trading ban introduced last year was supposed to help small local businesses at the expense of large foreign-owned stores. But the opposite has happened. Turnover for small traders is down 20-30% while discount stores have increased market share gospodarka.dziennik.pl/praca/artykuly…
