It is even worse than it seems.
The government is controlling everything. The courts and the media, and their important roles in the freedom of speech, are no exception.
They, the actual party in the government (PiS), in order to keep their place in power, had created several "reforms" bringing this way the power into their hands. Stronger than never, they are able to manipulate the Justice and the Information as the way they want.
Poland is a very catholic country. The Catholic Church in Poland keeps with the government a promiscuous political relation. From Vatican came already some worlds of discontentment. However flyers of PiS are given in churches and some priests tell to the people that they should vote according to their faith, in "the party that defends the Law and the Justice".
Poland is a country with a big problem of alcoholism. Polish main drug is alcohol. In the streets of Krakow they walk around the city looking for empty bottles to trade for full bottles. People that had a guaranteed job in socialism time, and a family who cared about them, and after lost everything. This people with no more hope unless to have some more drops of spirit and juice, are "helped" and taken to vote by the PiS Youth.
Seems very clear, one approach of this party, which was a central party, to the right wing and close to parties like SRP, of Andrzej Lepper, which combine nationalism with populism.
There is a lack of political education in Poland. And the people don't know which they can trust. There is a visible phobia of Socialism- understandable because of the History of Poland. A big Polish Self-Centrism was created as self-defense mechanism against Socialism. This mechanism is being used nowadays as a strong political weapon.
The Church which is considered a symbol of freedom, is now a Tool of Control, able themselves to control simultaneously, like had been during the dictatorships in Spain and Portugal.
This unbalanced situation in Poland is even affecting schools. The Polish Minister of Education had brought the Creationism to the School Program as an alternative to the Theory of Evolutionism.
If that can seem even comic, it's not when everyday in Polish televisions Polish Prime Minister, Jarosław Kaczyński, comes with threats, developing a "political program", that looks more a reality-show, based in scandals, accusations with no fundaments, speeding the fear, and terror over those who dare to confront them.
And they are even are arresting people. Their power over courts is enough to decide prisons based in those same accusations. And without any single prove people is arrested and exposed like criminals in the same televisions that never, or rarely, produce anything in contradiction, or against them (people in power).
I AM PORTUGUESE
I LIVE IN POLAND
IF THERE WAS FASCISM IN PORTUGAL, THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO IT.
OR ELSE POPULISM IN XXI CENTURY...
ANYWAY, HOW CAN THIS BE GOOD?
