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.
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.

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.
You've just confirmed your absolute ingorance and lack of touch with the reality!

4 years later and where's the crisis made by Poland? Poland's becoming important player in the whole Europe, I think that it speaks for itself about this video
I'll tell you this: If Poland causes a crisis in EU, then EU showed itself as the weakest and pointless organisation like UN
Thankfully we're changing. This spring the liberal party will probably win the elections, and follow the european law.
Now it's even worse in Poland. Pis made it even more far-right and even more authoritarian then was 4 years ago. Rise of Konfederacja and radicalazation of Pis could be problem for Poles, Our allies and all countries in our region.

you are 100% correct and this lie Vox is spreading was debunked at the outset. Poland should sue Vox.
VOX arent u gonna answer this mesage?
The march was organized by All-Polish Youth and the National-Radical Camp. Who would show up to a march organized by two radical groups if they did not support the agenda of those groups?
@@a_random_voice_in_the_void People who want to celebrate the aniversary of regaining their country from foreign invaders? The march was organised by many different groups, the fact that the ONR (which is mostly hated by the Poles) forced their stupid banners to the front only proves how much those small radical groups crave attention.

Shocking facts. Poland in 39' was one of the most multinational and tolerant country in the world. Betreyed by allies, 1/4 of population killed by germans and soviets changed this country completely after II ww. Changing borders and moving people from Old polish land to "new polish land" moved Millions of people. This is how Poland went from multinational to mononational in very short time. So not knowing difference makes you to be afraid of it. This is how it works.
It was also very Nationalistic.
@@zwiebelface185 It was in Poland where civic nationalism was formed, no matter the ethnicity (Polish, Lithuanian, Tatar, German, Jewish, Ukrainian, Byelorussian, etc.) everybody identified with Poland and supported Poland's interest in all areas because it was their homeland.
@@Fabian-cv9yl The east prussians (german nationality) were the most patriotic poles :D. Its funny but true.
@@Fabian-cv9yl Can be seen anywhere else.🤔
That is what happens when the trust of the nation is abused.
This is what has happened now in America and Europe.
The simultaneous abuses of trust (UK, America and Europe) is not by accident but by plan
The plan manifests in political battles and western factions but it is a plan by the Muslim Brotherhood for the enemy to not identify them until it is too late.
Europe is already being repopulated by non other than only Islam from African continent and Middle East.
Ask yourself, if Merkel and Europe was so into helping people in need and true refugees why is there ZERO assistance given to real refugees from South East Asia, South America and Pacific? Distance is no issue as Planes and Ships do exists.

@belūga While I may live in the US and do not understand the nature of the situation, know this. The EU is most certainly not perfect, but the best way to change that is not through disregarding it. the EU's economic benefits are numerous and are needed to recover the Polish economy after the Soviets. All I can say is in general, before cutting of relations, first see if a diplomatic agreement can be sought, not this.
@belūga Why are you complaining about immigrants? Welcome them, they will be happy to work and do the jobs that you, Poles, don't want to do. There are not enough people to work in your grocery stores, not enough people to work in the fields! Instead of acting like xenophobes that dream about a brick wall on your border regulate immigration, invest in education, be friendly. Accept them like you are accepted everywhere else.
@@alexlloyd5354 I passionately agree with you. Without EU Poland will go back to the dark ages.
Not every nation can sustain immigrants so I won't side with anyone on this but not everyone is like USA so we shouldn't put that standard on them it could be that poland can't sustain a alot of immigrants or not we Don't exactly know also I'm going to check recent polish news to make sure

You can't have it both ways. You either join and take part or you stay outside the union and do your own thing. Let's remember that no one forced any of these countries to join the EU.
And with the U.K the Brexit referendum was one by a very small margin, so much so that it has literally divided the nation. But that's a topic for another day.
It seems that even in Poland there is somewhat of an ideological divide. You've got this far-right ruling party that's anti EU yet vast numbers of Poles have found work and even more meaning lives across EU countries.
It seems that it's not as black and white as everyone makes it out to be.
But can you really blame them, being in the center of a tug of war between western Europe and Russia?
And Germany attacking them two times, and Brittan and France betraying them in WW2. Its ironic how these western medias want to portray Poland as ''right wing bad and left wing good''

@@disco_slav_98 Poland in the 16th century was I belive the only country in europe with organised elections after The Jagielons dynasty died the next king was elected in election. Of course in these elections only nobility could take part.

@@woodenchair9468 But this 16th century nobility "democracy" was nothing good for the country, it only supported corruption within the upper class and because of it Poland lost its independence, not because of its neighbours. Holy Roman Empire had also something like election I believe

C'mon, you need some cultural enrichment, terror attacks are exciting, just look at France, Germany and Britain. Try a million parasites, then decide. :P
@Ash J The concepts of 'right' and 'left' are no longer relevant, as the steam locomotive is no longer relevant. What on earth do you mean by "too far right"? The Polish people elected their own government and that government is doing what the Polish people want. I don't see any problem. [I'm comparing Poland to the UK where they voted for BREXIT and then they elected a Conservative Government which just continues to attack its own people.]
I just heard that the people of Australia elected a Conservative Government. I hope things get better for my dear Australians; I lived there for a while. The list of elected Conservative Governments continues to grow: Brazil, Philippines, USA, Poland, Austria, Hungary, etc.
No independent judiciary power either.

Poland is right. That is called self-preservation. Respect from Asia!

Dont u see how this self preservation is done at the cost of other eu member states? Poland receives Eu funding that come mostly from richer member states.
If they are so against the eu they should quit. Instead they extract benefit while flouting its rules and ideals that the eu stand for.

"The fascists of the future will be called anti-fascists"
@Revolvin Goatt This quote is only attributed to Churchill. He never said that. I wanted to write that this quote is current and related to the film.
@Revolvin Goatt it's your philosophy, but I will remove it
@Revolvin Goatt Just because a quote is misattributed,it doesn't undermine the meaning of the quote, and he didnt even say who the quote was from so no, its not a false quote
That's not true. Fascists don't act like antifa. Antifa acts like Bolsheviks. The fascists have never gained power by rioting in the streets and shouting multicultural propaghanda.

Poland: safest country in Europe.
Poland just does not give a consent for unequal treatment of EU nations. This arouses aversion, resistance and agression on the part of the fossilized elite of "Old EU". Central/Eastern Europe must to be treated as equal partners in EU, and their opinions, concerns and needs cannot be taken lightly.
But it's not why those countries were accepted into EU.
We've never gave EU a consent to govern our sovereign and independent country, according to their whims.

Love
I'm from Poland and all of this is not so simple... Most of this video is unfortunately true, but not all. Before PiS the most important party was PO, and maybe our economy was rising and in statistics everything looked cool, but people were poor. PO was selling many on our companies to foreigners, there were a lot of financial scandals, courts were working veeeery slow and
wrongfully, there was a lot of corruption... and people had enough of it. That's why PiS won election in 2015. They were promising to rise the lowest national payment, to take care about poor people, families, to solve problem wit our courts. But instead doing it carefully and wisely they ruined almost everything in our country and just gave people money to make them happy. But they did also few good things (not many but still). And i'ts not like that Tusk and PO is cool and we want them to rule again. Most people hate both PiS and PO. PiS is doing a lot of evil things but PO just never did anything good. PO is just lesser evil. And last Sunday we had presidential election and Andrzej Duda from PiS had 51,03% and Rafał Trzaskowski from PO had 48,97%. And that perfectly is showing how our country is divided and in Poland we call this situation "Polish-Polish war" and it's just showing that we cant work together to make Poland better place... and all of it makes me really sad :( I love my country, but living here is sometimes very painfull.
It's worth mentioning that during these presidential elections we've had a record-shattering 70% attendance. Poland is in a full-scale political crisis. We weren't this divided ever before.
This is the reason, why democracy doesn't work good in Poland...
finally a comment that is saying actually something useful to the topic

W każdych wyborach 1 na 1 jest tak że różnica między kandydatami jest mała, oczywiście nie zawsze. A od razu nazwałeś to polską-polską wojną.

The EU trying to keep Europe democratic, but when the Catalans won their independence election and the Spanish cracked down on them the EU just shrugged and said Whoopsy Daisy
Actually, It was an ilegal vote by Spanish constitution and had no real value, the police intervention was justified, but not the level of aggression used.
In order to make a vote for Catalonian Independence, by Spanish constitution, you should referendum all Spain:
Are you ok with doing a referendum regarding Catalonian independence?
Yes or no.
Then if total count vote comes out aa yes, the catalonians themselves could vote if they want to be independent.
It's strange but that's how it works.
It's like you want to get out of your house and be independent but in order to do so, you first need to wait for a vote of your mom, dad and brothers/sisters to decide if you can go, really weird.
@@sniper3031 not to mention the fact that they had under a 50% turnout
@@sniper3031 By that logic US independence was illegal and had no real value because the British didn't get to vote 😂

Long live our Polish brothers. No more brother wars in Europe
Wait if poland is doing so great then why so many of them run away to uk, germany?
@@eliza1826 I'll tell you why. Everything's connected to economy. Basically European Union gave us Poles a lot in a way of opening markets, findings and freedom of movement BUT there is always BUT these factors also have some profound consequences like ... thanks to freedom of movement more people left Poland in search of better wages so countries like Ireland, the UK and Germany were among the best earning places. Moreover freedom of commerce allowed many companies in Poland to export theirs wares. It is a good thing yes but not many realise that most of our exports to the western European Union states are in fact intermediate and agricultural products so when the main product is finally created it is sold much more expensive than the intermediate products sold by Polish people. The main profit stays in countries like Germany and so on. Those were just a few of reasons why Poles emigrate nowadays. I'm sure I can tell you more about it if you are interested.
@@Alfredo412 nothing's wrong with nationalism. Racism is bad. Check it up in Wikipedia but basically nationalism is considered simply as love for motherland while racism as actions or beliefs which support claims like religious, racial, national and other superiority. So it's good to distinguish such terms.

Well, for anyone trying to associate this video, with any racist ideology coming out from poland I've got the following to say.
--- I'm portuguese, but I look alot like an Arab. ---- I lived in poland for 6 months, and not even once, did I feel unwelcomed there.
I used to eat every day in a vietnamese restaurant, and I saw the polish people highly respecting them, and loving their food.
Every polish person I had a relation with, being the supermarket lady that laughed when I made chicken noises to explain I wanted kurczak, when I still didn't know the language well enough,
to the guy that rented me his apartment and took me to partys, took me around town (twierdza modlin) and gave me rides to work. Every single person I met treated me with respect.
Every country in the world has bad intentioned people. But please don't lable polish people as ignorant and intolerant, cause they are quite the oposite.
I worked as a flight attendant, so I interacted with more than 400 polish people a day. Europeans, take my word for it, polish people are very friendly.
And altough I decided to return to Portugal, I still miss Poland every single day.
Thank you for kind words

Looking like an arab and being arab are different. Most people cant tell between an arab and latino when they dress westernly. Wear a hijab and see how you get treated.

Exactly! Italy is also smartly following suit, as is Denmark.
