Yesterday, Warsaw was a city covered in snow, with maximum temperatures hovering around 0\u00baC, but that did not stop a massive protest.<\/p>\n
With its recent decisions, the new center-left government led by Donald Tusk<\/strong>, formed by an alliance of partners of the European People's Party, socialists, post-communists and other groups, has exhausted the patience of many Poles<\/strong>. In December it was the illegal assault on public media<\/a> and this week something much worse has come: the illegal detention of two opposition deputies<\/a>, who have been deprived of their parliamentary immunity in a totally irregular manner, after being convicted for pursuing corruption cases<\/strong>, something completely absurd.<\/p>\n Poland still has the experience of communism in its memory and there is one certainly alarming fact: in Tusk's government coalition there is a socialist party, the SLD<\/strong>, which is heir to the PZPR, the single party of the communist dictatorship that disappeared in 1989<\/a>. In fact, one of the SLD MEPs, Leszek Miller, held a leading position in the PZPR during the dictatorship. Tusk already led an alliance with socialists and post-communists in 2019<\/a> and now governs Poland with them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Perhaps that explains a detail of the massive protest called yesterday in Warsaw by the Prawo i Sprawiedliwo\u015b\u0107 party<\/strong> (PiS, Law and Justice) against the arrest of those two deputies. That detail can be heard in this video by Bart\u0142omiej Wr\u00f3blewski:<\/p>\n \u201ePrecz z komun\u0105\u201d demonstranci zdeterminowani \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf1\u270c\ufe0f #ProtestWolnychPolak\u00f3w<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/WCZ1xYfcqF<\/a><\/p>\n — Bart\u0142omiejWr\u00f3blewski (@bwroblewski) January 11, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
