Separateli. La Polonia dei gemelli ha qualche problema nel far funzionare la sua personalissima formula di fusionismo:
To be fair, the government was never well glued together in the first place. An unlikely coalition of the centre-right Law and Justice party with two small populist parties—the nationalist and Catholic League of Polish Families and the leftist and agrarian Self-Defence—it included europhobes and -philes, freemarketeers and economic nationalists, zealous corruption-busters and some of the sleaziest figures in Poland. The resulting political drama was sometimes thrilling, sometimes farcical, but ultimately tragic given Poland’s desperate need for good government and strong allies. The paradox is that Poland’s voters do seem to want a strong right-of-centre government. Maretta anche a scuola: This year, some Polish students decided to celebrate the start of the academic year in an unusual manner – they demanded the resignation of Education Minister Roman Giertych. But his moves to introduce classes on religion and patriotism have angered liberals who accuse him of undermining secular education and promoting nationalism. His open hostility toward homosexuals is viewed by many as extreme, even for this devoutly Roman Catholic country. His opposition to popular preschool programs for 5-year-olds on the grounds that they undermine family bonds has puzzled many. Educators have accused him of watering down standards on college entrance exams. The controversies surrounding Giertych, however, are bigger than one man. They are a metaphor for a larger cultural clash that has been brewing in Poland for years but has become increasingly visible since the conservative Law and Justice Party, led by Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski, won parliamentary elections last September. Insomma, se cade 'sto governo qui non si piange. |
