Poland governed by the extreme right

Poland, which fell last year into the populist hands of the Kaczynski twin brothers, both ultraconservative Catholics, has taken a great leap backwards. Polish writer Andrzej Stasiuk says the Middle Ages have come to power in Warsaw. "In recent months, the entire Polish political reality has become very anachronistic. The ideas of the Kaczynski brothers on how to govern are limited to amassing as much power as they can for themselves ... What is most striking in their thinking is the absence of contemporary problems such as European integration and globalisation. To them, Poland is a solitary island surrounded by foreign and enemy elements."
