Poland Justice Minister announces online freedom of speech bill
Regarding the majority party of the coalition which he is governing with.<p><i>The party has caused what constitutional law scholar Wojciech Sadurski termed a &quot;constitutional breakdown&quot;[58] by packing the Constitutional Court with its supporters, undermining parliamentary procedure, and reducing the president&#x27;s and prime minister&#x27;s offices in favor of power being wielded extra-constitutionally by party leader Jarosław Kaczyński.[46] After eliminating constitutional checks, the government then moved to curtail the activities of NGOs and independent media, restrict freedom of speech and assembly, and reduce the qualifications required for civil service jobs in order to fill these positions with party loyalists.[46][59] The media law was changed to give the governing party control of the state media, which was turned into a partisan outlet, with dissenting journalists fired from their jobs.[46][60] Due to these political changes, Poland has been termed an &quot;illiberal democracy&quot;,[61][62] &quot;plebiscitarian authoritarianism&quot;,[63] or &quot;velvet dictatorship with a façade of democracy&quot;.[64]</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Law_and_Justice#In_majority_government:_2015–present" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Law_and_Justice#In_majority_go...</a>
