On August 12th, another Great March for Life and Freedom of Poles and the Polish diaspora took place at the former German extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau in honor of the victims murdered there. The march ended on August 14th, the anniversary of the death of Saint Maximilian Maria Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan friar and martyr of World War II.

Poles in pre-war Wrocław, then called Breslau, had a difficult life. Radical racist and nationalist views spread rapidly among the local Germans, leading to the persecution of all non-German social groups. Admitting one's Polishness was an act of great courage.

Poland was doomed to confrontation with the Third Reich and the Soviet Union – a consequence of the policies of the great powers and the balance of power in Europe. It could only slightly hasten or delay this moment. However, in no way could it avoid tragedy.

The Iron Curtain that separated the Western and Eastern worlds after World War II was the "adopted daughter" of the Stalin-Hitler agreement of August 1939.

The General Court of the European Union has ordered Ursula von der Leyen to disclose text messages exchanged with the head of Pfizer regarding the purchase of COVID-19 vaccines for billions of euros, which triggered the scandal known as "Pfizergate" and undermined trust in the transparency of the European Commission's actions and the president herself, who for years had avoided responsibility for the shadiness of this transaction.

A thousand years ago, in April 1025, Bolesław the Brave took the royal crown. From that moment on, the monarchy of the first Piasts became a full-fledged and independent entity in international politics. It was in the times of Brave that it was given the name that has survived to this day – Poland. With Bolesław's coronation, Polish independence was also born.

Exactly five centuries ago, on April 10, 1525, in the very heart of Krakow, an act took place that was not only symbolic, but also strategic. A scene took place there, which in the eyes of those at the time could be considered a symbolic end to the long armed conflict waged by the Kingdom of Poland with the Teutonic Order.

April 10, 2025 marks 500 years since Albert of Hohenzollern, the last Grand Master of the Teutonic Order and the first secular prince of the Prussian state, paid homage to the Polish King Sigismund I the Old.

The Congress of Gniezno, held in 1000, was a key political and religious event in Polish history. Emperor Otto III visited the tomb of St. Adalbert in Gniezno and met with Bolesław the Brave.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is a growing opposition party to the EU and German establishment policies that European elites are trying to marginalize and even delegalize. In response to its successes, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called for a “Brandmauer” – a political firewall against the right. Despite this, the AfD continues to gain support, raising questions about the future of German and European politics.

The German television program – ZDF Heute – analyzed and assessed Donald Trump's speech immediately after the broadcast – on March 5, 2025. One of the President's first words was quoted: "America's momentum is back, our spirit is back, our pride is back, our confidence is back."
