🇵🇱⚖️The European Court of Human Rights announced this week that it will once again adjourn, for a year, all the pending cases against Poland concerning the right to a fair trial in cases presided over by "neo-judges". A victory for the Tusk government, but how long can this situation go on? 1/

Now we know why Dagmara wore a cap to the Independence Day celebrations - she didn't want to hear all the "hey, Dagmara, is it true that Karol nixed your nominations?" questions.

🇬🇧📽️🇵🇱 My job sometimes takes me to unexpected places, such as yesterday to the opening of the British Film Festival in Poznań, at the invitation of the British Embassy in Poland. Many thanks to HE Dame Melinda Simmons and her crew for a fantastic evening of British-Polish cultural exchange!

With this part of Poland not celebrating independence until the German temporary squatters were forcefully evicted a few months later, St. Martin's Day eclipsed the independence celebrations, leading to funny scenes as Warsaw endures the far-right march and Poznań eats a lot of this:

🇵🇱🥐 It's 11 November, which is Remembrance Day for most of Europe, Independence Day for Poland, and St. Martin's Day for Poznań and Greater Poland, so I managed to get a hold of St. Martin's croissants at a Polski Sklep in Berlin and serve my colleagues this croissant bowl.

But! I harp on Germany often, but I know when to praise the country for its moments of brilliance, such as the "Wagenknecht capitulates faster than Ukraine" headline from TAZ.

Top-notch HFHR lawyers dr Marcin Szwed and Maciej Nowicki blasted the ideas for dealing with "neo-judges" by Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek, and drew a toasty rebuke (and some misspelling of names) by HFHR board member Prof. Wojciech Sadurski. Pluralism of opinion! 8/
