to build the resistance from the right, 3 years right wing nationalist populist ruled po, new leader, don't know, disc is liberal in pro europe and not everyone is happy. i don't accept the election. not even the communist stayed with the current government is doing so. what does the mood like in poland? can the country overcome its divisions the here and share because it's in northern poland birthday celebrations are underway for christina, for miller. she's turning 73. it's also what's known as bent thursday, a last chance to read some treats before the restrictions of lance kick. in fact, thursday is a typical poll is tradition. everyone here bakes whatever they can. it's about

having a good time together. the top one are the seniors expecting from poland, new government, and how can society overcome its divisions to the i don't want to talk about political divisions here. we're building a civil society. we want people to get along with each other. so management, we just did what we had to do. that's why i believe in this government in these people. we ask if anyone here supports the old government led by the law and justice party. we're told the lady in red does, but she doesn't want to talk to us, especially not in front of the camera, but this area strongly pro law and justice. around here, the law and justice party gets about 70 percent in elections, but their supporters are hiding. good enough. we do find one in the town

center taxi driver in murray on doesn't believe in the new governments or even in the election results. yeah, yeah. i don't accept it. although no, i have to because what else can i do? well, you know, the law and justice party had a lot of voters. it's christina formula. meanwhile, is happy the old government left office if you asked me, it doesn't deserve any credit. i don't like them. i never supported them. and i didn't like what they did when they were in power. increasingly it seems they were nothing more than season crooks. despite the birthday party spirit, she doesn't have a kind word to say about the old government. so how did poland get to this point? the populace lawn just as party came to power and in 2015 it represented

nationalist and right wing conservative values or the party's policy positions had concrete effects on the lives of polish people. for example, there was discrimination against l. g, b t q plus people. this was the central pillar of the parties platform. the it also oversaw a de facto band on abortions, including for medical reasons. several pregnant women died as a result and it exerted influence on previously independent media. journalists, critical of the government lost their jobs. many college people protested, but that didn't stop the ruling party. instead, it brought in popular but expensive policies. for child benefit allowance was raised while retirement age was lowered,

meaning older citizens no longer had to work as long changes like these were well received, including by many here and share because it's after enjoying their cakes. the women are now taking part in an exercise class at the local sports center. the most important thing is to have a decent pension, so i can buy things without having to pick a one pair for one. apple. newly elected prime minister don't know to now face is a big job after 8 years of right wing populism. he has to revitalize democratic institutions and bring people together. yeah. so yeah, here's a 1000 log. i believe that young people will finally have their chance here. really younger people decide what should happen, how would should happen and how they want to live. yeah. yeah. my own in order to talk to somebody younger, a polish people we live share because it's a and dr. east. our destination, the tri city of the dunst. good area,

and so part the, it just so happens. there's another birthday marching. colton. nowgoski is turning 40 and his boyfriend roddic, she motzkin surprises him with gibson k as a gay couple in poland. they've suffered at the hands of conservative society. but since the recent political change there assigns of a different move towards queer people, even when it comes to things like displaying affection, stuff them amend. yeah. as time goes on it will probably become more and more accepted. so yesterday we were at an anniversary party and we actually greeted each other with the kids. i had the impression that people weren't as bothered. good. also sports in cities like this one. there are more l g, b, t q plus people than elsewhere. but at the same time, homophobic people are also particularly active. being openly gay is

a test of courage. the students to approve of what people often i've tried to hold motions, hands in public and with or you go behind. it's been uncomfortable for him for them to go. when he cuts. what was that? i'm so i'm thinking some of the mix, but i think that i'm just as much as citizen as anyone else is that we need to this when we were kind of like deserve the same rights, difficult up a co cause. you and i can walk down the street with my loved ones for you probably know, but since you spent the next we made martin my god, and po to a young cough skin from colorado and l g b t 2 plus active is network and good on they say things are now changing for the better mission. there's what that is. and that's right now you can feel that there's more acceptance encryption of all that. there's also fear just because the government's change doesn't mean that society has changed yet for times. for some you can contact your card of them. they are currently no provisions in the publish criminal code saying that homophobic hate speech is illegal. see an example. this

truck passing a school. the message from its loud speakers accuses l g b t q plus people of tennessee lay out these law. and just as party supporters are demonstrating against weird people. protests that leads to violence problem. there's a lack of the quality and respective diversity or appreciation of diversity who is not connected to the funding. i was not, i'm not as much in in roderick celebrate merchants birthday over coffee and cake. they're also planning to pursue a big goal. they want to get married properly with an official certificate to prove it. the new government aims to pass a law that makes civil unions possible for everyone. that's the because that's what i've already started inviting everyone who was, you know, i tell my family, it might be possible in 2 or 3 years. they're very much in favor, you know, as our most people, i know it's more interesting because that's one of the law is expected from donald

to a new government. another aims to improve women's right to abortion. hardly any other topic, polarizes poets society as much as this one. supporters of abortion rights emphasize it as a women's rights issue. while opponents see it as a pro life issue, it's especially controversial in rural areas. we head back to share because it's a, we're a taxi driver. marian is waiting outside the church the law and just to support or has no problem with massage and slogans. and it's firmly against abortion. or what in the villages they say a woman wants to have sex in the evening and the next morning have an abortion that is not catholic. that's not catholic. the town is strongly catholic,

like large parts of poland. it has the highest birth rate in the country. large families are held in high esteem here. and some of the bottom is it's a gift miracle. i think women should be fulfilled by motherhood as much as possible because i know the wild the law and just as party was an office. major media outlets tended to broadcast anti abortion propaganda because they were under the influence of the right wing populates, journalists critical of the government were forced out, including nashika and the time of we meet her at the dunst airport. she works, there is a press officer since being sacked by the state, broadcast or a list of um what it says, but just step into that. so i worked in radio for 25 years over 46, mostly doing political interviews as a place to come by as difficult and uncomfortable questions. so have nobody. and the new team couldn't accept that. she only, uh, they didn't want journalists asking them those kinds of questions for fun. yeah.

eventually they tried to force us out. and so we had to go on us to provide as much as those to extra as well, which i'm just going to be kind of still prefers to watch the news on a privately run channel instead of the public channel that was formerly dominated by the law. and justice party the broadcaster is now in a state of appeal programs that spread law and justice party propaganda and celebrate leader yacht us love kazinsky had been cut, which hasn't gone down well with everyone. electric with the let's see, why did they shut down our channel? se liquidated by force. when they have no arguments, they use violence. why can't i watch the channel? i want to watch it. i'm the one with the remote in my hand. it's my right. for the sacked journalist, it's clear that pro law and justice staff should now be fired in turn. it's the

only way to achieve media balance. to ask them to go down. there is no doubt in my mind that most of these people acting like they have a journalistic mission have to go immediately. they have to be fired. of this volume is poland heading for improve social cohesion or entrenched division. just absolutely to i really feel there's hope for a big social change. fortunately, mine's been fed, it'll be difficult to make far reaching changes. now, moses were at the beginning of this road, so just want to be one society. so we'd really benefit from that. the country and the world the
