Poland's "MAGA President"

Poland has swung to the right with the election of Karol Nawrocki as President. Nawroscki is a huge fan of Donald Trump and even flew to the White House during the election to get a thumbs up from his hero in the Oval Office.   He represents the conservative Law and Justice Party which lost power in the parliamentary elections 18 months ago to Donald Tusk’s more liberal Civic Platform. Tusk was previously president of the European Council, and had pledged to remove political influence from the judiciary and liberalise Poland’s strict abortion laws.   Now though, he could find his legislation vetoed by Nawrocki, who also opposes EU policies on climate change and migration.   Adrian Goldberg is joined by Bartosz Rydlinski, a political scientist based in Warsaw, and Anna Alboth, a Polish journalist currently living in Berlin.

Was This Starmer's Enoch Powell Moment?

Was Keir Starmer’s speech unveiling new measures reduce immigration his 'Enoch Powell' moment?   Most people would acknowledge that it’s not intrinsically racist to discuss the scale of migration to the UK and have measures in place to regulate it. But as the Prime Minister laid out his plans in Downing Street this week, the language around it was horrifying to some Labour supporters.   At the same time as saying that he celebrated diversity, Starmer said that UK risks, “becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together”. As backbench MP Zarah Sultana pointed out, this echoed the infamous 'Rivers of Blood’ speech made by Enoch Powell in 1968.   Sultana – currently suspended from the Labour whip - said that Starmer’s words “add to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk." Adrian Goldberg is joined in conversation by Byline Times political editor Adam Bienkov. This is the edited version of a live broadcast on BylineSupplement.com Learn more about your ad choices.
