As long as Poland remains outside of the Eurozone, it cannot hope to play a leading role in shaping the EU’s future, writes @m2matthijs. https://t.co/Hlr7hjjuOS
Poland's recent election results have sparked hope for democracy defenders and reshaped the European political landscape. The populist-right government that has ruled the country since 2015 has been deposed, reflecting a rise in nationalist identity politics. The outcome of the election will determine whether this shift is temporary or a long-term trend. Poland's absence from the Eurozone is seen as a hindrance to its ability to shape the future of the European Union. The country's democratic strengths were underestimated, and labeling Poland's far-right as 'oriental' was a mistake. The election outcome highlights the failures of liberal parties and the potential demobilization of their own voters. Imperial borders continue to influence politics in Poland.
