The EU’s top court on Thursday fined Hungary 200 million euros ($216 million) and imposed a daily one-million-euro penalty for failing to follow the bloc’s asylum laws and illegally deporting migrants, a decision Budapest slammed as “unacceptable”.

"Vote for us or russia wins". This is probably the worst election campaign I've ever seen. Yeah, PiS is a bunch of thugs that has very high tolerance for people that could be working on behalf of russia. At the same time PiS government provided Ukraine with most tanks out of any nation. What PO is doing is just fucking irresponsible, take a look at this this ad they aired a day after Fico was shot.
And that's not even the most depressing thing. PiS and PO keep calling each other russian agents but won't even mention far right Konfederacja that has obvious ties to Putin because they could be their coalition partner one day. PiS courted them prior to and after last elections but ultimately they wouldn't have majority anyway. PO knows that if New Left ever grows balls and quits coalition there won't be any other way to remain in power.
We hate russia but half of draft aged men would escape Poland before breakfast if war broke out. We don't own anything and have no say in anything so why would we fight to protect fortunes of the wealthy? There is no sense of community in this nation.
You have to commend courts for prioritizing russian values (like wife beating) over an opportunity to send them to jail and then back into the meat grinder.
