In a post on X, Jaki accused the European Parliament of trying to create a “communist European state” in which someone can be “jailed for clicking [something] on the internet”.

It's the same thing some politicians have been suggesting in other countries too, only they were not so stupid as to post them on a social platform where they are recorded permanently.

In any case... well... since they are being prosecuted exactly for having posted/liked a content on social media, ironically, they were not entirely wrong.

Send them to Italy, they'll have a brilliant political career here. We are a little picky about strangers lately but that's not the case if they are white and Catholic.

Oh believe me, they've had quite the career in Poland too - breaking the rule of law, being reactionaries; basically anything your right-wingers would do and more. Even though our democrats (Lewica, KO, TD) overall won the Polish parliament with the upper house being effectively up for grabs, the lower house is still over 50% conservative. Some postulates may be passed via a referendum, but don't expect any miracles, especially while PiS puppets still hold the presidency (until 2025) and the courts (often illegally).

Glad to hear that we're not alone in this...
