Poland is still inaccurate, as it was when it was posted here the last time
Edit: I tried to search for my comment last time but I didn't find it. So short summary: In Poland, an authoritarian far-right party ruled for a long time that acted heavily against the rule of law and separation of powers (they replaced their Supreme Court and discharged judges on other courts that didn't rule as they wanted) and was very anti-democratic (they turned the national TV into a propaganda broadcast). Amid huge protests, the opposition won the election, and while it is not a very left coalition, they were pretty successful in reversing many of this horrible things, e.g. taking back control of the TV broadcast with a completely new team. They couldn't undo everything as the president with a veto power is still from the old party but with the president elections coming soon this could change soon. And it's generally very euphoric and awesome what happened because it was really terrible what the other party did to this country.
The absolute fucking best part of this story is that the right wing party is literally called pis I cannot fucking contain myself fuck my life / rip / lol
