>> " right-wing party, which reduces citizen rights, violates constitution, oppresses minorities, removes the separation of the state and church." These are just big fat lies that are being spread by the politicians that lost last elections. None of this is actualy happening in Poland. Minorities are just fine, no action has been taken against any of them, citizen rights are in fact better than in most EU countries (no "political correctness") and the separation of church and state is ensured by the fact that 90% of Polish citizens don't treat their religion seriously anyway. The one thing that makes some sense is accusation of constitution violation, but this has more to do with the fact that Polish constitution is poorly written than with any actions of PiS. And, as a side note, PiS (ruling party in Poland) is of left-wing, socialist affiliation:)

Wikipedia sez: Law and Justice, abbreviated to PiS, is a right-wing national-conservative political party in Poland.

The constitutional crisis has everything to do with the actions of PiS. They deliberately disregarded previous ruling of the CT, and President Duda refused to swear in three judges correctly elected by the Parliament. Zbigniew Ziobro, the Minister of Justice, also serves as the Attorney General and under the new law he can interfere with the work of District Attorneys (he can essentially stop any prosecutorial case if he wishes to do so). This is an enormous threat to citizen's rights. The new government has already made several decisions which help the Catholic Church. The most important one concerns the sale of the farmland, which will benefit the church financially. On top of that there's the increase in taxation and a massive spending increase on welfare, but I suppose that's just run-of-the-mill fiscal irresponsibility.
