“On the Barricades” s05e48Show more

In this second episode of this weekend’s release of “On the Barricades,” hosts Maria Cernat and Boyan Stanislavski discuss the news– and reactions in the mainstream press to the event– of the homophobic murder of two gay me on October 12 in Bratislava by a far-right radicalized teen.

Among other news in Poland is the recent leak of tapes in which a high-ranking bureaucrat and businessman in Poland who has been praised by the opposition describes how Donald Tusk accepted a 600 million PLN bribe from some Russians connected to Gazprom. This is just a ludicrous part of the process playing out in Polish politics and press, which Boyan and Maria elaborate on.
