Policy Voices | Like Goebbels: Polish propaganda and the demise of democracy

Listen to this episode on Soundcloud | Apple | Spotify

Polish propaganda against the LGBTQ+ community during the rule of the Law and Justice Party was compared to the Nazi propaganda orchestrated by Joseph Goebbels. The eye-opening statement was made by Michał Olszewski, Deputy Mayor of Warsaw, in this week’s Policy Voices where he was joined by Bart Staszewski, Founder and CEO of the Basta Foundation. Together, they call for quick and overarching changes to undo the damage done by the Law and Justice Party to Polish democracy.
