"BECAUSE WE DO NOT BEG FOR FREEDOM. WE FIGHT FOR IT." GEN. WITOLD URBANOWICZ / 303 SQUADRON COMMANDER
"The right-wing Polish government is continuously breaking new ground in its attacks on democracy and the rule of law. But now it has set a truly astonishing precedent. Warsaw has just used its European Union powers to deport a government critic and banned her from entering any country within the European free movement zone. The implications are ominous – and not only for Poland. ...If anybody on the Post's editorial board took 5 minutes of their time they would find out that Poland had every reason to believe that the couple, and run by them the Open Dialog Foundation, was actually trying to undermine its democracy, Mr Kramek even published a blueprint to overthrow the government (being implemented even as I write this post).
Lyudmyla Kozlovska, a young Ukrainian human rights defender, is a fervent promoter of democratic Poland. ...
This week, the Polish government deported Kozlovska. The authorities have not provided any explanation, but the likely reason is clear enough. She and her Polish husband, Bartosz Kramek, had criticized the government for what they see as its efforts to undermine the country’s democracy."
