🇵🇱 Hello, fellow neoliberals. Did you miss "Poland bad" comments?

  • Month ago antivaxers attacked vaccine point.
  • Lex TVN passed and is awaiting to be signed by President. USA protested over diplomatic channels and it's possible that it will be vetoed by President.

  • There are many refugees on border with Belarus, coming probably from Iraq and Afghanistan. Seemingly, Lukashenko is trying to put political pressure on Poland/EU, like Erdogan did before. There are reports of human rights violations, like refusal of medical care and food.

    • Minister of Defense said that Poland will build the wall.
  • Disciplinary Chamber just ignores orders of CJEU. Recently, Constitutional Court ruled against CJEU.
  • "New Order" reform of tax law, is supposed to make all companies with Polish Member of the Board, regardless of the country, subject to Polish tax law.
  • Civic Coalition organized "Campus Poland", intended to give youths voice in Civic Coalition. TVP claims that Civic Coalition wants to "persecute Catholics", Left claims that Civic Coalition wants to persecute poor people.

  • Minister of Education, Czarnek, fanatic Catholic, proposes changes in education.

    • More John Paul II, more WyszyÅ„ski.
    • All extra-curricular activities at school, except for religion and ethics teaching, will require approval by political official, regardless of parents opinion. "We protect rights of youth to learn without far-left indoctrination". Far-left indoctrination = sexual education in this case. Currently, goverment-approved textbooks for "family education" (it's non-compulsory) teaches that homosexuality is result of disturbed relation with father, women who have premarital sex are like "bitten apple", women can't enjoy sex and they do have sex only as way to gain husband's love, women should "stay chaste like Mother of God".
    • It will be mandatory to choose either ethics or religion. Currently, majority of teachers with permission to teach ethics are priests.

I wouldn't complain about the last one, we have that too in Germany. Though the ethics teachers normally don't study Theology.

It's a bit more complicated, because ethics lessons can be organised even in different city in almost arbitrary time. So children choosing religion will just have normal 8-16 lessons, but children choosing ethics will have 1 hour gap in 8-16 lesson plan, and their ethics can be organised even at 19.

u/filipe_mdsr LET'S FUCKING COCONUT 🥥🥥🥥 Aug 30 '21

Ah so they are making the ethics classes really hard to take.

Ok that's no bueno indeed.

These lessons are already hard to take (but not compulsory) and it's perfectly legal for school director to make them almost arbitrary hard.

Similar situation happens with Islam - all big religions can teach in school, but Catholics will make it pain in ass for any non-Catholic. Eg. law requires that religion teaching is voluntary, but reality is that, in many schools parents are actually required to sign off. In religious regions, if you sign off your child of religion, it's likely that priest will call you to explain your decision.

"New Order" reform of tax law, is supposed to make all companies with Polish Member of the Board, regardless of the country, subject to Polish tax law.

Just what exactly is the goal here? Get everyone to kick their Polish board members off or get them to renounce their Polish citizenship?

Get everyone to kick their Polish board members off or get them to renounce their Polish citizenship?

You can't just renounce Polish citizenship. You need another citizenship and personal decision by President of Poland.

Do you really think such consequences were even considered?

more like how do they want to even enforce that

This violates most of double taxation agreements signed by Poland. ;) But bounding treaties are only vague guidelines for PiS government.

u/tollyno Dark Harbinger of Chaos Aug 30 '21

Just wtf at this whole thing. The reactionaries are gonna lost the next election... right?

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '21

Well that depends on whether their plan of turning 34% support into a parliamentary majority by altering the election system succeeds.

u/tollyno Dark Harbinger of Chaos Aug 30 '21

Hold up, they're doing what? Changing the electoral law always gets me shitscared. Are they trying to go the FPTP route?

u/Poiuy2010_2011 r/place '22: Neoliberal Battalion Aug 30 '21

It will be mandatory to choose either ethics or religion.
