Prof. Markowski alarmuje: Ten system to patologia

Is Poland heading towards authoritarianism, and could the far right seize power? Professor Radosław Markowski – a political scientist and sociologist associated with the Polish Academy of Sciences and SWPS University – analyzes the state of Polish democracy, scenarios before the next elections, and possible coalitions between the Law and Justice Party (PiS), the Confederation, the Civic Coalition, the Left, and the Polish People's Party (PSL). In a conversation with Jacek Pałasiński, Professor Markowski explains the reasons behind the popularity of populism, nationalism, and political simplification. He also discusses the crisis in education and science, the decline in critical thinking skills, the political passivity of liberal society, and the role of highly mobilized, radical minorities. The program also discusses the growing antipathy towards Ukrainians, the importance of immigration for the Polish economy and demographics, the mistakes of the current government, the influence of the Catholic Church on politics, the power of major corporations, and the real threat from Russia. Is there still room in Poland for a new political grouping and a generational shift in elites? Can an open and democratic society mobilize effectively? This is a comprehensive and uncompromising conversation about the future of Poland, democracy, education, Ukraine, the European Union, and the most important civilizational challenges of the coming decades.
