Poland’s government has deepened its anti-LGBT+ stance with the appointment of a new cabinet including an ultra-conservative education chief.
The Law and Justice (PiS) coalition has heightened its attacks on LGBT+ people in recent years. However the European Union is now making some steps to intervene.
As a result, insiders say there’s been a battle between Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki who wants to avoid further confrontation with the EU and the ultra-conservative Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro.
Both are bying to succeed PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski who is now 71. Now, in disastrous news for LGBT+ children and educators, Przemyslaw Czarnek will lead the country’s education ministry.
