Noted for next time.
But how do we convince people to the left then?
The ancestors of today's Poles would definitely attest to that.
You have:
- Wars during the Middle Ages, including the first partition attempt with Germany way back in the X century
- Frequent meddling in Poland-Lithuania during the state's final century
- Partitions of Poland-Lithuania
- Harshest suppresions of Poles of any of the 3 partitioners for 123 years (minus Napoleonic France's puppet state), mainly through Russification
- Pitting Poles against each other during WW1
- Yet more fighting shortly after said war because of Soviets wanting to annex Belarus and Ukraine and establish a puppet communist state in Poland
- Another parition, mass murder of Polish inteligentsia (see: Katyń massacre), NKVD's individual murders of citizens and mass expulsions of Poles from Polish lands to distant parts of Russia/USSR (i.e. Siberia) during WW2
- Puppeteering Poland during Stalin's reign and only allowing for a slightly less dependent government after his death
- Use of Russian gas as political leverage
- Continued disinformation campaigns, military exercises near the Polish border and FSB operations against Poland to this day
Poland’s parliament has approved a bill allowing the government to suspend the right to claim asylum for people who cross the border irregularly as part of the “instrumentalisation of migration” by a foreign state.
The measure has been criticised as a violation of European and international law by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. But it received overwhelming support from Polish MPs in both the ruling coalition and the opposition.
The 386 votes in favour in the 460-seat Sejm, the more powerful lower house of parliament, included all or the vast majority of MPs from the centrist Civic Coalition (KO), centre-right Polish People’s Party (PSL) and centrist Poland 2050 (Polska 2050), which are part of the ruling coalition.
They were joined by all or most MPs from the two main right-wing opposition parties: the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) and the far-right Confederation (Konfederacja).
Only 38 MPs voted against it, mainly from The Left (Lewica), which is part of the ruling coalition, and Together (Razem), a small left-wing party.
The bill now passes to the upper-house Senate, which can delay but not block legislation, then on to President Duda, a PiS ally, who can sign it into law, veto it, or pass it to the constitutional court.
Poland received a record number of asylum claims last year amid a renewed crisis at the Belarus border, where since 2021 tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers – mainly from the Middle East, Asia and Africa – have been trying to cross with the help and encouragement of the Belarusian authorities.
In response, Prime Minister Donald Tusk proposed in September a tough new migration strategy, including allowing the temporary and partial suspension of the right to claim asylum. Those measures were subsequently approved by his government in December.
The bill approved by the Sejm this evening would enact parts of Tusk’s strategy by amending the asylum law to introduce a new term into Poland’s legal lexicon: “instrumentalisation of migration.”
That is a phrase regularly used by Polish and other European authorities to describe the deliberate manner in which Belarus and Russia have used migrants and asylum seekers in an attempt to destabilise EU countries.
Under the Polish bill, the interior ministry would be empowered to temporarily restrict the right to claim international protection if instrumentalisation of migration is taking place, if it “constitutes a serious and real threat to security”, and if the restriction of asylum rights is necessary to counter the threat.
The legislation also specifies that the government’s actions must “aim to limit the rights of foreigners intending to apply for international protection to the least possible extent”, reports news and analysis website OKO.press.
Moreover, certain categories of people must be allowed to claim asylum even if the measures are in place, including minors, pregnant women, people who require special healthcare, people deemed at “real risk of harm” if returned over the border, and citizens of the country that is carrying out the instrumentalisation.
An amendment accepted today by parliament before the bill was passed allows an entire group that includes minors – such as a family – to submit an asylum claim. Previously, only the minors would have been allowed to.
The interior ministry’s regulation implementing the suspension of asylum rights must define the area in which it will apply and how long it will apply for (up to 60 days, after which it can only be renewed with the approval of the Sejm).
Tusk has argued that the measures are necessary because existing asylum rules were not designed to accommodate the deliberate instrumentalisation of migration by hostile states.
However, human rights groups have declared the measures to violate not only international law but Poland’s own constitution. They also say it will cause real harm to vulnerable asylum seekers, who will face being pushed back over the border into Belarus.
Well over 100 people are believed to have died around the borders between Belarus and EU member states since the beginning of the crisis in 2021.

Before you comment, this is the full announcement:
Announcement of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage
Due to the decision of the President of the Republic of Poland to suspend financing of public media, I decided to put into liquidation the companies Telewizja Polska S.A. and Polskie Radio S.A. and Polish Press Agency S.A.
In the current situation, such action will ensure the continued operation of these companies, carry out the necessary restructuring and prevent layoffs of employees in the above-mentioned companies. companies employees due to lack of financing.
The state of liquidation may be withdrawn at any time by the owner.
Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz Minister of Culture and National Heritage
And now some context from the article:
Today, Duda proposed his own alternative bill that would have maintained other government spending in the budget – such as the public sector pay rises – but did not include the funds for public media.
However, this morning, the speaker of parliament, Szymon Hołownia, who is one of the leaders of the new ruling coalition, said that he would not convene an early sitting of the house to discuss the president’s proposal, as Duda had requested.
This afternoon, before Sienkiewicz’s decision was published, Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that the cabinet had decided that the 3 billion zloty previously earmarked for public media would instead be spent on cancer treatment and mental healthcare for children.
Tusk added that Duda’s veto had forced the culture minister to make certain decisions, which would be done “calmly and rationally”.
However, Sienkiewicz’s decision was condemned by figures linked to PiS and to the former management of public media. Samuel Pereira, a senior editor at TVP under PiS, said that the “usurpers are trying to bypass the National Court Register” – the body responsible for validating Sinkiewicz’s previous decision.
Shortly afterwards, President Duda’s chief of staff, Marcin Mastalerek, published a statement declaring the decision to put public media into liquidation as “an admission of defeat by the government”.
...i jeszcze Michalkiewicz w tej zgraji. Dadzą u niego jeszcze może Brauna?
Poland’s main two parties, the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) and centrist Civic Platform (PO), have declared that they will oppose proposed changes to the EU treaties when they come before the European Parliament (EP) this week.
PO’s leader, former European Council president Donald Tusk, today warned that the ideas epitomise the kind of “naive euro-enthusiasm” that pushed the UK to leave the EU.
Swap Morawiecki with Duda and it'd be just as true. It's also why even if Kaczyński will officially "retire" as chairman, he'll still pull strings within the party so it doesn't collapse.
A także, dlatego, że większość libertarian to doskonale rozumie i mniej lub bardziej otwarcie współpracuje z faszystami, czy też dlatego, że w środowiskach libertariańskich skrajnie częste są wynaturzenia takie jak pedofilia i zoofilia czy w końcu dlatego, że nazwa została ukradziona anarchistom.
Za to możesz raczej obwiniać Amerykańską LP i Korwina. :P
Jeśli pytasz o lewo-libertarianizm, to prawie nikt o tym nie słyszał lub tylko ma na myśli lewicę anarchistyczną (a chyba wiadomo że to jest wciąż postrzegane jako ekstremizm i "haha niszczyć żąnd", nawet jeśli to nie jest do końca prawda).
Jako chodzi o ten kapitalistyczny libertarianizm, to ludzie po prostu nie lubią leseferyzmu (skrajnego kapitalizmu), a do tego często ten libertarianizm się do niego sprowadza podczas gdy nieco bardziej lewicowe gospodarcze ideologie tego nurtu typu lewo-rotbardyzm (mieszanka akapu z mutualizmem) pozostają niszowe. Świat zresztą wciąż ma złe wspomnienia ze słynnych terapii szokowych w których były masowe prywatyzacje. Polska ostatecznie wyszła z tego na lepiej, ale to nastąpiło już po wielu latach masowego bezrobocia i patologii na rynku pracy oraz po dołączeniu do UE.
Wielu ludzi też chce społecznych regulacji, więc libertarianizm wszelkiej maści po prostu dla nich nie pasuje. Wreszcie libertarianie po prostu ignorują angażowanie się w PR i brną w ideologię. Próby pragmatyzowania często kończą się rozłamami i spora część libertarian nagle do Ciebie nie ma zaufania gdy próbujesz mieszać koncepcje libertariańskie z centrystami czy innymi ideologiami.
