Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The EU’s NGO Scandal: How Brussels Funds Its Own Propaganda | Deep Dives
Q: How can Europe, if there was a will in the world, reel in this basic turning non-profit organizations into propaganda machines without hurting good NGOs?
One way is to shine a light on the existing system to preserve genuine NGOs, while demanding transparency and accountability from the European Commission regarding its funding of NGOs.
Donald Tusk's remarkable takeover of Poland's institutions | Deep Dives
Q: What does this mean for the judiciary's independence and the broader principles of justice?
It means that there is no judicial independence and no sense of security if rulings are ignored based on political convenience.
Donald Tusk's remarkable takeover of Poland's institutions | Deep Dives
Q: How do you respond to critics who argue that these measures are necessary for combating corruption?
The term 'authoritarian regime' implies that opposition cannot operate, which was not the case under previous governance.
Donald Tusk's remarkable takeover of Poland's institutions | Deep Dives
Q: Has this been your experience of the new Poland?
Not really, it has been a constant battle between the nation and corrupt elites, as has been evident historically.
