EVENT: Trouble for Poland’s Far-Right: Fines, Jail, Financial Ruin

After eight years in power, the Polish far-right opposition is facing lean years; the consequences of Jaroslaw Kaczyński’s policies.

Join us on 4 October for an online discussion about the current state of Poland’s far-right Law and Justice Party (PiS). Why is PiS facing a financial crisis? Does their candidate stand a chance in the 2025 Polish presidential election?
