Polish-German journalist Klaus Bachmann of “Berliner Zeitung” states that politicians like PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and “some of his ministers should fear jail after losing the elections”. Recall that Bachmann is the same journalist who argued some time ago in an interview with “Gazeta Wyborcza” that Ukraine should return the Donbas, because … “there is nothing there”.

“The Creeping Liquidation of Democracy”
In his text, Bachman ‘looked’ at the reforms of the judiciary that were being implemented in Poland, Hungary and Turkey. What is the result of the journalist’s analysis? No surprise here.
Judicial reforms aimed at depoliticizing the supreme courts become a creeping eradication of democracy
– I’m writing.
At the end of this road, the government finds itself in a problem of its own: elections are no longer just about whether the ruling party stays in power or goes to the opposition, but whether its leadership stay in power or go to jail. This is an election campaign plan with elements of civil war
we are reading.
Who is Bachmann?
“The journalist’s “analysis” should not surprise anyone, especially if we read his previous publications, which appeared in Gazeta Wyborcza, among others. In July last year, Bachmann wrote that Poland has been “sinking” since 2015 and “the policy of this party is good for those it does not want to support at all, and fatal for those it supposedly supports”. He also wrote that he supports talks with Putin and that Nord Stream 2 should be left and wait for Russia to democratize.
