Description

This week, Notes from Poland editor-at-large Stanley Bill is back with Ben Stanley, a political scientist at SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw, to talk about the recent crisis in Poland's ruling coalition and the reshuffle of the government.

They discuss the conflict between Law and Justice (PiS) and the United Poland (Solidarna Polska) party of justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro; the background to the government reshuffle; Jarosław Kaczyński's new position; the appointment of an MP known for anti-LGBT comments as education minister; and political scenarios for the future.
