• Far-right Polish MP uses fire extinguisher to put out Hanukah candle

As Poland moves to form a new government, the European court of human rights issued a new judgment today that the lack of any form of legal recognition and protection for same-sex couples in Poland breaches the European convention on human rights.

The court considered that the Polish state had failed to comply with its duty to ensure that the applicants had a specific legal framework providing for the recognition and protection of their samesex unions.

That failure had resulted in the applicants’ inability to regulate fundamental aspects of their lives and amounted to a breach of their right to respect for their private and family life.

I protest against the xenophobia introduced by the authorities into public debate.

I protest against the hostile attitude of the authorities towards immigrants.

I protest against the incapacitation of public television.

We will have different views on many issues, but we want to be a community and the work of the future government will focus on this.

• Donald Tusk set to take power in Poland after PM loses confidence vote

In a policy speech ahead of a confidence vote he is set to lose, the outgoing Polish prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said his government had shown it could set new trends in European politics and underscored his opposition to empowering the EU.

Europe of homelands, not a Europe without homelands. We do not agree to any further deprivation of competences from states. If the union is to survive, it must abandon attempts to greedily seize new competences.

We proved that the liberal economic model was not only unfair, but above all ineffective and irrational. We have introduced a completely new model, a new – one might say – socio-economic system. We took first steps towards a solidarity state.

We have shown that we are not doomed to constant imitation, but that we can be the source of new trends in European politics.
