Depuis le mois de décembre dernier, nous avons le plaisir de publier les réflexions de nos invités sur les élections européennes dans la colonne: «Je vais voter. Et vous?» Aujourd’hui, notre invitée est Malgorzata Molęda-Zdziech, sociologue polonaise, politologue et commentatrice active sur les événements en Pologne.
Elle est responsable du département des études politiques de l’École des hautes études commerciales de Varsovie et représentante du recteur pour la coopération avec l’Union européenne. Dans son article, elle commente le rôle crucial de la société civile polonaise et son influence sur les résultats des dernières élections nationales polonaises d’octobre 2023. Elle fait aussi référence à l’une des priorités de la future présidence polonaise du Conseil de l’UE en ce qui concerne le rôle de la société civile dans la protection de l’état de droit. (ehp)
