On the 15th of October, Poland is facing a key election. After eight years of ultra-conservative governments and deepening authoritarianism, there’s finally a glimmer of hope for progressive change - but also a real risk of the country shifting even further to the right. Which direction will Poland choose?
In this episode, we explain the different political parties contesting the election and discuss some of the key topics that have emerged in their campaigns. We also analyse their strategies, examine their appeal - and consider potential outcomes and possible coalitions.
Why is TikTok so influential in this election? Have events like the invasion of Ukraine and the cost of living crisis influenced its themes? And what’s the deal with the referendum happening alongside it?
To find out, tune in to our episode with Guardian journalist Weronika Strzyżyńska. [Episode recorded on 26.08)
