"We as citizens will need to be assured that a new government would have faith in democracy, Europeanism and freedom guaranteed by law,” Olga Tokarczuk’s says two weeks before Poland goes to the polls in a potentially pivotal election on 15 October.

"We need assurances that such a government would listen to us and respond to our needs, and not, like the present one, subordinate the majority of citizens to anachronistic ‘traditional values’ adhered to only by a 30% minority,”

I don't know anything about the polish language, but this doesn't need a translation.

What is a good media in your view?

I bet my ass, if I go take a closer look at this account, it will be a "super leftist", concerned about politicians, corporations and the ultra rich doing what they want in our democracies, but all comments specifically blame leftist parties and never rightist ones.

I bet they post lots of comments how we have to "raise up" against the police and corporations and corruption, but never vote for leftist parties because they all betray us and they are controlled by money anyways.
