Are Warsaw's reforms too little, too late? | Conflict Zone

Last year Poland bucked the trend in Europe and ousted the far-right Law and Justice Party that had been in power for eight years. But just how divided does the country remain? And how worried is the government that a far-right party emerged in the European elections as the most popular among young people? Our guest this week in Warsaw is the Justice Minister Adam Bodnar. Few countries have watched the war in Ukraine more closely than Poland, which warned time and again that Putin would march beyond his borders – only no one listened.
