Paweł Sokala wrote that in Poland, the status of an expert was difficult to challenge if a given person had the right connections. He pointed out that at the European Forum of New Ideas in Sopot, alongside, among others, the Prime Minister of Poland, Barbara Gorgoń-Mróz was to perform, whom he described as the heroine of a well-known scandal for which a prosecutor's investigation was ongoing. According to Sokala, she was to be the main participant in a panel on promoting the Brand Poland. Sokala added that he did not find information about the panel in which Jakub Wiech was to participate and suggested that he might have been discussing some model. He criticized what he termed cronyism instead of meritocracy, pointing to it as one of the important reasons why most attractive things in Poland are still bought abroad. #Polska #Merytokracja #Edukacja (translated)
