This week the people of Poland voted to re-elect their president Andrzej Duda. Re-elections often aren’t all that dramatic, but during the campaign, Duda attempted to court a more extreme group of supporters attacking the media and LGBTQ+ people. This has strained tensions between Poland and the EU even further so in this video we explain the election and what it means for EU.

    I think EU is authoritative imposing Liberal Ideology on member nations. The EU will not Survive, Great Britain was smart to get out, Norway was smart not to join. Most of Europe fought two world wars not to be controlled by Germany, the EU is Germany. Sorry France but you will always be the little brother who not one pays attention to.

    So Poland's neo-fascist president gets re-elected on promises of continuing all the projects PAID FOR BY THE EU; while rejecting EU standards. You have the top 3 vote getters in in the Polish presidential election representing the right, the far right and the farthest rightestest.

    Russia's invasion of Ukraine gives the Real EU bargaining power right now against Poland and Hungary. They should be kicked out.

    The majority of Polacs exercised their democratic right and elected the government. Therefore they are hugely "controversial". Uh oh !!!

    What a untruth!
    1. Rafal Trzaskowski (PO) dont represent center-right Civic coalition. This party gave opportunity to enter socialist and old-comusnist politician to EU parliament. They also support imigrants, LGBT. They are anticlerical, and antynational people. They go far left in few years.
    2. Rafal Trzaskowski wasn't the thirst choice of his mother-party (Platforma Obywatelska). After discredit the first candidate (Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska), they have a problem and polls gave her about 5%. So they change it and created good PR in only one month. Its mean, that many people coudn't recognize what the person he really is and what the value he represent.
    3. TVP was only ballance to onother TVN, and huge anti-govermnet campaigne on the internet. 10 years ago TVN, and TVP said the same and it wasn't good for democracy and true media.
    4. LGBT and ather stuff with it is only West problem. in USA, GErmany, France etc. was prohibition for this people. In Poland there was always open society, but not sill to gave some extra unjustified privileges changes all social order (built over hundreds of years). Be good person, respect others, and you gave the same. You aren't special because you fall in love people in the same gender. So its only ideology made to create problem which doesnt exist never in this land.

    5. 5:50
    so manipulative words! Autoritarian vs. open minded, democratic legitimacy? The first one win twice in election, becouse they represent stabile life values. The second one wants to create social revolution, change law, and take power back (they made very bad things in the past – connected with corruption, nepotism, provokation, anti-state choice etc.). They even dont want to create political program to Polish people.
    6. We changed our approach to the EU after they start to lead double standard and want to take our goverment compettition. For example:
    -German law and constitution s more important than EU, our can't (becouse EU,and France, Germany doesn't like it)
    -Free market was for everyone, especially when we join to EU. We gave opportunity to enter foreign capital and company for preference rules, but now we have problems to respect neutral and fair standards by everone in West.
    7. Thete were no LGBT free zones… It was "funny" heppening, saying this untruth. But we have dump anti-government representative in EU parliment, whose take it serious and made own stories disconect with reality.
    To sum up it is very-biased material video. I am curious from where the information was obtained

    How exactly is it "anti vaxx" to say that the government shouldn't trample your rights?

    At this point I feel like Poland should just leave the EU, they clearly don't want to follow their rules anymore.
