Caption

In the midst of the uncertainty brought out by the coronavirus outbreak, in 2020, I found myself a witness to a deepening of the social and political polarisation in my homeland, Poland, and a consolidation of power of the governing right-wing nationalistic PiS party and its incumbent president A. Duda. Puzzled by the cultural wars and the erosion of hard-won democratic freedoms that took place there in recent years, outraged by the government's attack on women's rights, I wonder about the future of girls like Zosia, my eight-year old niece. I see the world in transition, my country somehow 'lost in transit'. Individuals and communities experiencing a massive shift on multiple levels. The pandemic reality with its rise of populism and acceleration of autocratic tendencies in Poland and Hungary feels grim, yet I am not losing hope. It is up to us not to stay indifferent.
