Video: The Danger of the Far-Right in Poland

Following the recent re-election of Andrzej Duda of the far-right Law and Justice Party (PiS) as president of Poland it looks like Warsaw will continue on a path of undermining human rights. TACTICS spoke with Dr. Michal Balcerzak about Islamization, the Polish Military concept and the role of the Church in creating a solid opposition movement against totalitarianism in Poland.

Dr. Michal Balcerzak is a professor of international human rights law at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland. His research gravitates around international human rights law, protection of national minorities, international judiciary and litigation and diplomatic protocol. He is currently alternate Member of the Management Board of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights.
