In Poland, we know all about fighting illiberal regimes. Here are our lessons for the Trump age | Jarosław Kuisz and Karolina Wigura

In 2016, Poland's right-wing populist government initiated a campaign against media and civil society, targeting the thinktank Kultura Liberalna.

Advice for navigating these challenges includes embracing intergenerational solidarity, respecting constitutional law, and planning long-term strategies to maintain democracy effectively.
