A massive scandal in #poland these days 🇵🇱 Polish state radio deleted a song by a popular artist (Kazik) as they realized it's critical to the ruling party. As result lots of artist boycotted them, shitstorm in social media etc.
What people don't understand is the ruling PiS party simply doesn't care. If you want to know what happens next, look at Russia in 2000's 🇷🇺 and Hungary in 2010's 🇭🇺 . They did not care as they took control over the judiciary and media as they had popular support.
The problem is that once you take control over judiciary and media, you can't do significant reforms even if you want. Or even if you desperately need them because your economy is crumbling.
You're effectively a hostage of the people you lifted to power, all those anonymous officials who were placed in privileged position just by their political affiliation rather than merit.
