Poland is pushing the EU into crisis
Video Overview & Insights
Poland’s far-right party is subverting democracy, and setting the country on a collision course with the EU.
Two corrections:
At 7:17 Viktor Orban is incorrectly described as President, when he is actually the Prime Minister.
At 5:27 and 7:32 Finland is mislabeled as not being a member state of the European Union. Finland joined the EU in 1995.

Poland is changing. In 2015, the far-right Law and Justice party, or PiS, won both the presidential election and a slim parliamentary majority. Since then, they’ve been working to cement their power by firing judges, purging the military and civil service, and cracking down on protesters and the media. All of this has put the country on a collision course with the European Union that could threaten Europe’s hard-won peace and prosperity following centuries of conflict.
Sounds like I need to move to Poland.
To truly understand the international conflicts and trends shaping our world you need a big-picture view. Video journalists Sam Ellis and Liz Scheltens use maps to tell the story and chart their effects on foreign policy.

@SomeGuynamedOttoI dont think we should say:"Bob Bobbinson is to blame because he is fachist." But we should look at spirit behind him, find the source how that spirit or idea got to someone and pushed him into it. After ww2 it came to Israel now it came to Poland.. who is next?
@MrJag1Who would’ve thought that an Eastern European country is unstable and shouldn’t be in the EU
@logi-aThe EU pushes itself into one. Not the Pols. They just resist against the cultural wipe out that Eu leaders want to bring.
@Cratos7156This video did not age well at all.

@piotr3580This video is misinformed and should be deleted as a form of spreading an unrealistic and outdated image of Poland. In every country there are radical and/or nationalistic forces and making a video based on those, framing it to the general ideology is just unprofessional.
@elomordo6735Hungary is a real og
@universalfoxAnd Trump is doing the same.

@add.j.793It Has been stopped this video Has 6 yeats XD
@KarpatkaAnimationsI have Polish ancestors that escaped the Russian Empire occupation of Poland in late 1800’s and came to the USA. All of this nationalism is good for Poland because in their minds they never want to be conquered again. In Poland, the Polish people always come first.
@CaptainRuggelssome say... Poland would like to belong to .... Cyprus : - )
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth" (from Beatitudes)
P O W E R it's not about dominance but rather the capacity to act with purpose and positive intention
many positive and creative changes in both internal-national and external-international spheres
come form a different approach to power which is *not dominance, not coercion, not invasive expansions... *
In a spiritual context, "power" refers to an inner strength or ability stemming from a connection to a higher source, Power Gifts are: faith, healings, and the working of miracles.... (from Revelations) : - )
