Kulturscheide. Bekenntnisse eines Unpolitischen

In: Osteuropa, Band 55, Heft 10, S. 156-159

Abstract

Polish society is culturally deeply divided. The liberal left, which cherishes emancipation & permissiveness, is not even represented politically. The post-communist left, so soundly defeated in the election, was also anything but liberal. By contrast, the national-catholic right is trying to force its prude morals on society -- as a whole & equates homosexual love with paedophilia. This camp has triumphed in the parliamentary election. The adherents to liberal values face difficult times ahead. Adapted from the source document.
