Summary Following its firm statement in defence of the independence of the judiciary, and thus, against violation of the Constitution and the rule of law in Poland, on 21 July 2017, The Open Dialog Foundation became the object of unprecedented attacks1,2,3,4,5 by the Polish governmental administration and broader right- wing circles (in particular, state and pro-government media, as well as openly pro-Russian, or Russian press6). Unexpectedly, some social activists, including those who had previously worked with us and had been supported by the Foundation, joined the attackers. One is7 Marcin Rey8 who runs the Facebook page of Russian V Column in Poland. With regard to him specifically, we consider the real reasons for his attack to derive from his ambitions and personal issues (although we do not deny that he may feel at least partially correct in his statements and believe in the theses which he proclaims). At the same time, M. Rey himself admits that in the last parliamentary elections he voted for Law and Justice9 (although he adds that he is now critical of many activities of

  • Amcham Poland Members Lend Their Support Summary 2020-2021
    AmCham Poland Members Lend Their Support J O I N I N G F O R C E S A G A I N S T T H E C O R O N A V I R U S Summary 2020-2021 AmCham members join forces in the fight against the coronavirus. Summary March 2020 – June 2021. American investors in Poland have continuously been supporting the Polish economy, businesses, and local communities. During the last 16 months, we have seen the most consequential crisis of our times where all these organizations have risen to the challenge and, from the very beginning, have actively joined forces to support individuals affected by the pandemic. The value of the support lent by American companies since March 2020 exceeded PLN 200 million and keeps on growing. Companies were sharing their resources and capabilities to support healthcare workers with personal protective equipment, deliver meals to hospitals, transfer funds, provide pro bono legal services and tools to help manage their business, provide platforms and advanced technology systems for both the government and business, as well as the education system. In addition, many employees have joined the campaign voluntarily, supporting health care personnel on the front line of the fight against the coronavirus. The volunteers were sewing masks, 3D printing visors, and supporting the local senior community. "We are incredibly proud of our member companies. So many of them have supported communities from the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. Those ad hoc donations, including millions of meals for doctors and nurses, hand sanitizers, hundreds of thousands of facemasks - were critical and needed in the beginning.

    CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN REVIEW Volume 10, 2016 ‘NEW HISTORY—NEW WAYS OF KNOWING AND REMEMBERING THE CAUCASUS IN POLAND’ By Justyna Pierzynska University of Helsinki Abstract This paper aims to reconstruct the knowledge claims and memory politics in Polish public discourse about the Caucasus. As it highlights the importance of history and a production of a ‘New History’ for political use, it illuminates the role of the visual dimension in the symbolic politics of memory in Poland. The special example of the Caucasus, particularly the places of Georgia and Russia, serves to show how peripheral regions can gain prominence in the knowledge struggles and strategies of self-representation and othering of particular nations, regions and states on the geopolitical plane.

The analysis presented here is a qualitative inquiry into the nature and structure of mainstream textual and visual representations used in Poland to make sense of the Caucasus as a geographical and political region after the fall the Soviet Union. I argue that popular knowledge about the Caucasus boils down to ‘knowing mostly only one of the Caucasus countries, namely Georgia; and only one aspect of its history, namely its conflicts with Russia.

Report on conservative and right wing Europe 5th March 2021 GERMANY 1. jungefreiheit.de (translated, original by Fabian Schmidt-Ahmad, 25.02.2021) Departure of Fabio de Masi The crack in the left The Left Party in the German Bundestag loses its financial policy spokesman and deputy parliamentary group leader. Fabio de Masi, who has been a member of parliament since 2017, has announced that he will withdraw from politics and no longer want to run for a mandate. What he reveals in his farewell letter says a lot about a party that claims to know the "real conditions" of society and always suspects the "cultural superstructure" to be in others. “There is a tendency in various political spectrums and especially in social media to only debate politics about morals and attitudes. I think this is a step backwards, ”criticized de Masi. Anyone who takes a “correct attitude” as a yardstick “is actually trying to prevent the argument with rational arguments”, it continues. "Such a culture of debate has nothing to do 2 with enlightenment, but is an expression of an elitist claim to truth, such as the church served in the Middle Ages." The “white man” is none other than the worker It is not the disappointment of a politician being sidelined - as if the Left Party had so many financial experts to show for it - but the expression of a long-simmering conflict among the left. The traditional left saw itself as rooted in the working class, belonging to this milieu.

  • The World After Brexit and Trump WELCOME Free Market Road Show® / 2017-Report
    REPORT 2017 The World after Brexit and Trump WELCOME Free Market Road Show® / 2017-Report Welcome by Sebastian Kurz Itroductury Note by the Austrian Minister for Europe, Integration and Foreign Aff airs for the 2017 Free Market Road Show. The European integration continues to be the biggest contribution to peace and economic prosperity on our continent. In recent years, though, Europe has been faced with many challenges politically as well as economically. To successfully live up to these challenges we need to increase the confi dence of people in the European project and improve again our competitiveness in order to achieve stronger economic growth and combat unemployment. Therefore, attracting businesses and creating jobs remain top priorities. In this context it is key to further promote entrepreneurship and secure a strong manufacturing base combined with a high-performing service sector. Europe and Austria have to do more to facilitate the starting of new businesses and the development of innovative ideas. In doing so, we have to strike a balance in Europe between necessary regulations and economic freedom for entrepreneurship. Free markets are not only a prerequisite for maintaining prosperity and high living standards but they are also an essential contribution to a sustainable social cohesion. It is important to keep this in mind especially in times of growing threats to our security and stability. The challenges lying ahead can only be managed working together. We therefore have to focus on a Europe that is able to achieve results and deliver in priority areas such as security and economic growth. I wish you all interesting and fruitful discussions at the “Free Market Road Show” 2017.

  • Does Novelty Necessarily Mean Change? New Political Parties Within the Polish Party System
    Does Novelty Necessarily Mean Change? New Political Parties within the Polish Party System BEATA KOSOWSKA ‑GĄSTOŁ AND KATARZYNA SOBOLEWSKA ‑MYŚLIK Politics in Central Europe (ISSN: 1801-3422) Vol. 15, No. 1 DOI: 10.2478/pce-2019-0004 Abstract: The aim of the paper is to assess new political parties in Poland and to ex‑ amine the question of their perceived novelty and influence on the party system. We employ Barnea and Rahat’s analytical framework to evaluate the newness of Polish parties in three party facets: party‑in ‑the ‑electorate, party‑as ‑organisation, party‑in ‑ ‑government. This multi ‑dimensional analysis allows one to identify those fields in which any novelty may occur. Among the analysed factors is the new parties’ electoral base that enables one to assess whether the parties managed to mobilise a new electorate or rather attracted supporters from existing parties instead. Last but not least, we study the changes caused by these parties within the whole party system. In our research we include parties that entered the parliament for the first time after the last two elec‑ tions: in 2011 and 2015. Before that time the parliamentary scene in Poland seemed to be firmly closed with a nearly constant set of actors. Both in the 2005 and 2007 elec‑ tions no new parties entered parliament. Hence the 2011 election is considered to be an opening for new parties, but does not necessarily bring about a significant change in the Polish party system in terms of the electoral support for the two largest parties or within patterns of electoral competition.
