Viktor Orbán’s New Assault on Free Media and Civil Society
23 November 2023
Poland’s new incoming government will seek to mend fences with Germany, but despite Berlin’s turn away from the flawed Russia policy, both countries will need to bridge several fundamental differences over security and the future of Europe.
The victory of the liberal and left-wing parties in the October elections was met with a sense of enormous relief throughout Europe and the USA.
There is a feeling that Poland might influence other populism-leaning governments in Central-Eastern Europe by setting an example of effectively opposing populism, xenophobia, hate, divisions and democratic backsliding.
Back to a rational foreign policy
The new government has to deal with a myriad of problems that have hurt Poland so much in the past eight years: degenerated democratic governance, politicised management of the economy as well as weakened independent judiciary, civil society and media.
