Mikkel Andersson wrote that in the early 2010s he met a group of young university students in a pub in Lublin in eastern Poland. He described them as left-leaning, inclusive, and critical of the national conservative party Law and Justice (PiS), but stated that they did not reject non-Western immigration to Poland. According to Andersson, they then referred to Sweden's experiences with immigration. He wrote that the meeting came to his mind after Hungary's and Poland's leaders, who according to him had succeeded markedly more right-leaning predecessors, had linked the riots in France to immigration. Andersson described that connection as correct. #Polen #Indvandring #Venstreorienteret (translated)

Mickpl wrote that during the Senate's work on the bill regulating Airbnb rentals, there was lobbying from three foundations. According to him, these organizations demanded a change in the definition of hotel services, which would allow funds that had announced plans to build hotels but ultimately built rental apartments to avoid paying a 23% VAT. The author noted that the argument raised was the possible negative effects on students. In his opinion, this referred to individuals renting rooms in private dormitories for 3,000 PLN. He added that signing lease agreements could provide tenants with protection, and the status of students was not to be verified. Mickpl indicated that comments could be submitted regarding print number 863, as well as concerning the cooperatives he had written about earlier. #airbnb #ustawa #wynajem (translated)

"When I was not accepted as a train driver because I have glasses, I studied history and German studies. Against my will, I became the first academic in my family and then a writer," Rudiš laughs, who earns applause from the audience after just a few minutes. #Česko #ČeskáLiteratura #VáclavHavel (translated)

The author described the situation of mathematicians as a disaster. He wrote that their intellectual work is devalued by AI, and they are becoming its assistants. This could also happen to many other academics in the future. At the same time, in his assessment, respect for human intellectual achievement as well as their income is declining. #Mathematik #Akademiker #KünstlicheIntelligenz #None (translated)

A study from Akavia shows that academics with their own disabilities or who have children with disabilities experience diminished influence over their work tasks, lost career opportunities, and poorer well-being, highlighting the need for increased awareness and structures in workplaces to support these groups. #Funktionsnedsättning #Karriärmöjligheter #Akademiker (translated)

Jože Možina wrote that the defense of Svetlana Makarovič and her work "Sluga," which, according to him, referred to the European Court of Human Rights, failed. He praised the text by Ales Valant, which he linked to former judge of that court Dr. Zupančič, and assessed that it refuted Makarovič's characterization of her actions as satire. Možina claimed that it was about humiliating with the intent of dehumanization and that she would therefore also be condemned in Europe. He stated that the criminality of her actions was demonstrated, in his opinion, by professional texts of Dr. Komel, Dr. Muhovič, Dr. Jaklič, Dr. Perenič, Dr. Ogrin, and Zobec. He added that only the media and politicians from the far left had exposed themselves for her, not reputable names. #pravo #slovenija #pravosodje (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski accused Senator Adam Bodnar of hypocrisy and asked how much he received for editing and writing an article in a book published by the German legal publisher Nomos Verlag, with the participation of the Max Planck Society, funded by the German budget. He referred to Bodnar’s text on the judiciary after the power takeover, in which—he wrote—Bodnar advocated for “transitional justice.” Lewandowski described this as consent to lawlessness and the omission of legal principles. He also asked how much Bodnar earned from numerous articles, including those published on the German website while he was a lawyer for the opposition. He accused him of violating the principles he had previously set when he later became the Minister of Justice in Donald Tusk's government. Lewandowski wrote that Bodnar had accused lawyers and academics of participating in the research project of the University of Miskolc, which was supposed to result in a monograph, several dozen scientific articles, and two conferences. He asked whether Bodnar would disclose other international grants he received for his activities in support of the rule of law before— as Lewandowski put it—he boasted about prosecuting the Polish opposition. #hipokryzja #praworządność #polityka (translated)

Zdeněk Šarapatka wrote that the moderator Pavlína Wolfová repeatedly asked Spirov from SPD and Prokšanová in the debate about Russian aggression who would come to defend the Czech Republic. According to him, both answered evasively and their behavior resembled vocal support for Putin. He added that such a debate must have been challenging for television professionals as well, and he stated that he found the answer to the question behind Krupskaya and Lenin. #ruskáagrese #debata #PavlínaWolfová (translated)
