I predict Polish emigration to the Western Europe is going to intensify. This time it won’t be mostly economical emigration, but also political one. Poland is changing into sea of absurd and totalitarian state.
Polish far right - only true patriots - parties in rule wasting our time and money for hunting communist, finding scapegoats like one of the best Polish cardiologist, who successfully did many transplantations of heart. He was accused of killing patients and corruption. He was instantly arrested and accused by Minister of Justice - Ziobro - of being murderer. The secret investigation case got a codename “Mengele” (after Joseph Mengele - German SS doctor who was in charge of brutal experiments and killing thousands of prisoners of death camp Auschwitz). Fortunately judge didn’t agree with murder accusations and doctor was released from jail.
Couple of days ago Polish media was electrified by the statement of Childrights ombudsman - Ewa SowiÒ¡ska, who accused UK’s children program Teletubies of promoting homosexual behaviour. She pointed that Tinky Winky has a woman handbag, and it can indicate his homosexual orientation. To be honest, I would ban Teletubies due to the fact that it is the most stupid TV program I have ever seen, but I would never took it as a secret promotion of homosexual behaviour, though I am rather a little homophobic person. I have long hair and it can be also regarded by some bigots as a promotion of homosexual style of life (since long hair should be a hairstyle of women, and shorthair of men).
Yesterday, Polish Ministry of Education announced the obligatory reading list for primary and high schools. They baned many of the classics both Polish and non-national writers, e.g. Gombrowicz, Witkacy, Johan Wolfgang Goethe, Franz Kafka, Joseph Conrad or Gustaw Herling-Grudzinski (World Apart - an excellent book describing life in Soviet gulag) and Dostoevsky.
So… prepare for another wave of emigration. This time it is going to be a migration of Polish cultural elite, or at least open minded people with wide horizons.
