One is the president, the other is the prime minister. The Kaczynski twins run Poland with a single, seemingly xenophobic mind. Are the brothers turning the country into the laughing stock of Europe?

Dear Mr. Cornwell, I have read your article (”The Warsaw Pact”) very carefully, as well as the opinions of its readers. I can only congratulate you on a timely choice of the topic and on your journalist talent in exposing the main peculiarities and scandalous sidelines of the failed “Kaczynski Twins Regime.”

Nevertheless, I agree with some readers that you have exaggerated some opinions about Poland and its history, and that the author “misses the beauty of Polish spirit” (Lynn Krzywiecki, Canada). Poland is a country of 38 million people and only a small fraction is ultra-Catholic and anti-Semitic, or stupid enough to support a new dictatorship, after chasing away the Communist one. Democracy is working slowely but it will finally win.. The younger generation will take over and it will make Poland a normal and prosperous country. We all hope for a better future.

Best regards
DAVID DASTYCH, Warsaw, Poland
