PT Blogonauci may never have heard of the American "Law 447" in their lives, so I will start with a brief summary of what the right-wing net imagines about it: it imagines that Poland will gotta compensate for the Holocaust victims who have not left their heirs.
In fact, this bill is the equivalent of our resolutions, which Parliament obliges the executive authority to submit a report. In this case, the U.S. parliament has asked the State Department to inform how different countries are solving this problem.
The information is to be included either in the ‘Country Reports on Human Rights Practices’ (announced since 1976), or in the ‘International spiritual Freedom Report’ (announced since 1998). The resolution leaves the executive power free to do so.
This item – overlooked in the right-wing communicative – seems crucial to me. In practice, this "Law 447" will be manifested by additional paragraphs in reports that have been produced on Poland for years.
The last study on spiritual freedom dates back to 2016. We read in it, among others:
The president signed government preventing Warsaw public properties, including Jewish-owned properties initially lost during planet War II (WW II), from being returned to their precommunist era owners and breathtaking claims after a six-month notice. According to judaic and another spiritual groups, property restoration to spiritual communities continued to get very slow, with 73 cases resolved out of approximate 3,700 outstanding at the beginning of the year. A prosecutor dropped the investigation of a Catholic prior who referred to Jews as a “cancer” in a sermon communicating the anniversary of a nationalist political association. The Minister of Education made comments appeared to be denying Polish work for the mass killings of Jews at Jedwabne and Kielce during and after WW II, but later listed Poles had committed both attacks.
In addition, ‘Relations with the Roman Catholic Church are determined by an agreement with the Holy See that grants privileges not accredited to another spiritual groups’, as well as:
Protests and demonstrations against immigration frequently active anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic messages. The cover of a popular political weekly displayed the dark-skinned hands and arms of 3 men grouping a blonde female with the surrender “Islamic rape of Europe.” In August football fans at a train station in Lodz hell up a banner with anti-Semitic language and burned judaic effigies
The 2017 Human Rights study states:
[The government] introduced judicional reforms government that wood strong criticism from any judicical experts, NGOs, and global organizations. On July 24, the president signed into law claims to the common courts law. On July 26, the European Commission issued a regulation of law advice directing the state to revise the ambitious law
In the light of the above, it is understandable why the government avoids this issue. The slogan “Let them praise us in their reports” was the overarching intent of the abroad policy of the 3rd Republic from Skubiszewski to Sikorski. Bartoszewski powerfully expressed this by a metaphor of “the woman ugly and without dowry”.
A competitive metaphor about getting up from your knees suggests breaking up with this policy. One's arguing with the other.
Either we can be praised in their reports, or we can go to the rhyme by blowing them off. From the hearings of the right-wing Internet, I believe that the right-wing imagines the existence of any 3rd version, that – let's say – Trump will say, “OK, your Islamophobia and/or anti-Semitism may and may be contrary to our constitutive values, but I forgive you, for you are of the right, as I am.”
He may imagine it, but it's simply impossible, like the American approval to prosecute prof. Gross by Ziobra and Jako. Hell will frost early.
These reports are not completely meaningless. An lawyer representing individual in front of an American or European court may trust on them, for example, in an extradition case or in the recovery of assets.
If I were to bet on that, I would bet Franklin that American and European courts would be willing to agree to specified an argument, as we get better and higher up from our knees. I told you before, Dear Writers, in the notes of the series «Dear WritersIt’s okay. ”
There is so only 1 way to combat the 447 Act. Build trust in the Polish state and Polish judiciary in the world.
The effect opposition of what PiS does.
