There is actually something very different happening in Eastern Europe, especially in Poland, as compared to Western Europe. The media characterized Poland’s recent electrons as a triumph for the right-wing — dismissed as xenophobic nationalism in Poland and other European countries. But the truth, as Łukasz Dominiak, a professor at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland, explains is quite different: it’s a strange mix of both left and right politics in a country that is not afraid to embrace its Catholic roots and its cultural identity.
On the most recent Mises Weekends, Jeff Deist and Łukasz discuss the recent elections in Poland, as well as the street protests that you might not have heard about in western media.
