Our main focus this week is the political crisis which has engulfed the Polish government since last Friday threatening its very survival.
Last week we commented on indications of further tensions within the ruling Zjednoczona Prawica or United Right bloc in light of comments by a Solidarna Polska Sejm member against the proposed Covid-19 immunity law for officials who may have transgressed the law while allegedly acting in the ‘public interest’ and of opposition from some government lawmakers, among them the Agriculture minister, Jan Krzysztof Ardanowski, to proposed animal welfare legislation including a ban on fur farming.
Since then events have taken a dramatic turn which has brought the ruling coalition to the brink of collapse, raising the spectre of a minority government or even of an early general election.
