While this is great news, any bill that makes it past the Sejm, Senat, and Nawrocki will be severely watered down and be the BARE minimum. Also disappointing that only around 30% think civil partnerships should be fully equal to marriage. 🇵🇱🏳️🌈

🇱🇻 threatening withdrawl from the Istanbul convention will have ripple effects throughout Europe. While EKRE pushes for 🇪🇪 to leave, other far right parties will push for the same.

Finally read the entirety of Galina Rymbu's article. One of the best advocacies for leftist resistance in 🇺🇦 I've read to date. It also effectively explains how far-right actors infiltrate leftist spaces.

Amid the praise for #Poland's economic performance is a dangerous increase in radical right sentiment. The cancelation of this concert coincides with an increase in popularity of the far right Konfederacja and the even more rightwing KKP.
