Wow #jaksezije is a really cool idea. I really like it. Maybe I will try to write something about Poland (if only I have some free time).
Google translator translated your article pretty well. There are several minor mistakes but I could read and understand it.
I live in Poland for.... since I was born actually, and I've never heard about list of forbidden games? Maybe you refer to our stupid law regarding gambling companies. In general international gambling web pages are prohibited in Poland and to be legal gambling company you have to be registered in Poland and pay huuuuuugeee taxes.
If you're talking about totalitarism changes in Poland, probably it's not the best word you could use to describe these changes. There is a lot of controversion about our new legislation regarding independence of the courts, but on the other hand in Poland there was a huge issue with social perception of how our administration of justice used to work. In my opinion we actually need general reform of justice in Poland but the way it was introduced by Polish parliament will be counterproductive. So I think after these changes courts will be even worse that it used to be. Anyway still many people here in Poland supports goverment in this "justice reform". And actually the biggest issue with those who criticize that reform is that they simply lost previous election and lost their power and they actually don't want fair and independent justice system, they simply want the system to protect them as it used to be. It is of course my personal opinion and you will probably find many other opinions in that area.
Still I think western european media overreacts about changes in Poland.
Great. I'll appreciate it if you find the time to do that.
I did not mean games, but theatrical performances. We have the same word for it in czech :) Good to think about such words the next time.
I've got the idea just becouse I've thought that media is not telling the whole story.
OK. So if you meant theater, there were several issues about that. I remember at least two controversial theatre performances last year. One in Warsaw and one in Wroclaw. At least in the second case the problem was that this theater used to have "controvercial" performances. This theater is owned and somehow governed by voivodeship government. And voivodeship authorities are nominated by Poland government (in contrast to city autorities which are elected locally). So after previous election in Poland government was changed to much more conservative one. Then it changed voivodeship authorities to the one from the same political option. And voivodeship authorities replaced theater director to some conservative. This new director was conflicted with staff because all staff and previous director was liberal. And in fact some of performances were "to liberal" for this new director. And some of them was simply canceled.
In the second case the the theater is owned by capital city authorities which are more liberal than government so there is a lot of controvercial performances, that for example insults Catholics. In general in Poland there is a low that forbids insulting any religion, but in most cases it is used only when Catholic religion is insulted. So there was some big affair because radical Catholics feelt offended by this performence and there were several court cases about that but I don;t know the results.
As you can see there are some political pressures (or financial pressures) on theaters. The main difference between situation in Poland and in several other country is that here those who are conservatives try to forbid liberal performances and in USA for example conservatives performances are being forbidden or protested by liberals very often.
But it's not like we have a law that forbids any theatre performances.
Thank you very much for your quick answers. I'll look for more informations about that. I'd love if you write more about life in Poland and about the government changes in the separate post but even if you don't you've already helped me.
