Trump’s Second Term a Crossroads for Central Europe – COMMENTARY
6 November 2024
At the end of April, Rafał Trzaskowski banned the anti-EU nationalist march, which was to take place on the fifteenth anniversary of accession. He gave construction work as the reason for the ban. It reminded me of the previous nationalist march on the occasion of the Independence Day. After the court overturned the ban on the march issued by the former mayor of Warsaw, the European Union flag was burned during the demonstration.
It provoked outrage, even calls for prosecution of the perpetrators or at least to forbid these shameful acts in the future. As a federalist, I am happy to be able to let Union flags burn. Better to identify with organisations that do not try to send their opponents to prisons.
Praise for the prohibitions of nationalist marches as well as calling for the cult of the flag, came from circles that consider themselves liberal. Of course, liberalism is a broad etiquette under which various visions and revisions are located, and it can always avoid criticism, pointing to examples that do not fall under the term.
