Majority of Polish people is pro European, however like in few other places in the world, unlucky series of events caused populists to reach to power. They used old divide and conquer techniques, seized media and manage to destroy some democratic circuit-breaker institutions. Since more then a month there are huge protests in the streets, despite covid. Worst case ee have to wait 3 years until next elections, but let's keep fingers crossed.

In Hungary people are so desperate at this point that they don't even go to the streets.

Orban was able to change the law that Hungarians outside Hungary's border who don't even pay taxes can vote (just get a small amount of money from Orban).

I already moved my assets to safer places a long time ago, as I'm not too optimistic.
