Okay, so I promised a more comprehensive post on what is happening in Poland so let's go.
(CW: mentions of police brutality, violence towards protesters, homophobia and general bigotry):
- November 11th marked the Independence Day: fascist thug groups, proudly calling themselves "patriots" spilled into the streets. The protest was meant to be motorized, as per the organizers' declarations, however it turned into a full-blown march soon after.
I posted in the previous post, these thugs at some point spotted a balcony of an appartment with a rainbow flag hanging out as well as banners supporting the recent pro abrotion movements hanging in the windows, and started throwing flares and fireworks at it.
They missed however two other appartments were hit, in one's case the flare managed to get inside and start a small fire. These thugs didn't do anything to call for help even crying out "Let that wh*re burn".
Thankfully nobody got harmed and the apartment in question (an art studio) only had its doors burnt. Later that day a group from one of the antifa collectives came to repair the door completely free of charge.
Aside from that there have been a shit ton of incidents happening during the march, mostly ending with lots of property damage and destruction.
A couple reporters got hurt by cops, inspite them wearing the "Press" vest to identify them.
One of the reporters a 74-year-old man, got shot in the face with a rubber bullet by a cop. Luckily he's safe now and was provided medical treatment.
Of course much of the right-wing government deemed the march a "success".
- The polish Prime Minister has declared that the government is planning to veto the proposed EU budget. Their reason is being in opposition to EUs terms in regards to countries needing to maintain their systems of justice intact and to ensure that everyone is equal in terms of law (of course the issue is far more complex than that but that's basically the rundown).
Of course the more batshit MPs from the governing party have pulled out their tired old boogeyman of "if we accept their terms we will lose all sovereignty, and we will be forced to *gasp* LET THE GAYS MARRY AND ADOPT CHILDREN!"
This may not seem like a minor thing but if these clowns reject the budget, we could lose millions of Euros, which is catastrophic considering our medical system is dying (representatives of the nurses' union have declared a strong possibility of their being a general strike of nurses in the whole country) and our economy is downward spiraling.
- As I mentioned in the previous posts the pro-choice protests are still happening on a consistent basis. The ruling of Constitutional Tribunal remains unpublished - meaning it essentially exists in limbo as far as it being part of the law.
The main strongest hypothesis is the government is either trying to wear down the protesting groups or is waiting to introduce the "National Quarantine" and make people stay home, and then publish the document.
Regardless, last night there was a march happening in Warsaw. Even tho the protest was peaceful, the protesters were attacked by cops, who sprayed pepper spray/tear gas on them.
Another group of cops in civvies attacked protesters with metal telescopic batons.
23 people got arrested, many of them suffered bruises while on their way to the police stations.
Couple of MPs from one of the opposing parties got assaulted by cops outside the building of the parliment. One of them got her parlimentary ID torn in half by a cop.
Photos of these incidents as well as videos are all online, but they are incredibly heartbreaking and distressing so I advise you not to look them up.
In many cases inhabitants of tennant houses located in the old part of the city, left ladders allowing young protesters to jump over the fences and take shelter in the buildings to avoid unjust arrests.
- Also yesterday, there has been an instance of cops harassing a 14 year old boy in the city of Krapkowice in Poland. The kid has been posting some information about protest marches on his FB page and since then the cops have been harassing him. First they came to his home and informed him that if he goes to that event, he'll be treated as one of the organizers and given a sentence of 8 years in prison (for someone his years it would mean 4 years in juvenile detention and 4 years in prison once he enters legal age).
The cops also went to his school and informed his head teacher about the whole situation.
So those are the four main events that have happened in Poland in the span of a week. Of course there is a lot more than that but these four, I think are the most essential.
Poland is honestly becoming too scary to live in...
