The extremes of the Polish right

"Catholicism is no longer a religion in Poland today but an ideology," state the worried academics Tomek Kitlinski and Stephane Symons in the progressive daily. "The new Polish government is nationalist in the extreme. Its guidelines are: Poland for the Polish, women in the home, 'holebi' [gays, lesbians, bisexuals] in Hell. Abortion has been outlawed and, worst of all, more and more women are jobless and living in poverty. Homosexuals are insulted in the street, in parliament, in government, and in the media. This homophobia goes hand in glove with antisemitism and hate for Roms and gypsies, and for refugees."
