Polish Minister Says His Right-Wing Party Is Treated Like ‘Jews Were Treated by Goebbels’ During the Holocaust

Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister Piotr Glinski has compared criticism of his ruling Law and Justice Party to the persecution of Jews under the Nazis.
“The language toward Law and Justice is to exclude, annihilate, dehumanize, delegitimize, as Jews were treated by Goebbels,” Glinksi, who is also Poland’s culture minister, told local media Monday, referring to the former Nazi minister of propaganda Paul Joseph Goebbels.
The comments came at a time when Poland’s ruling party has come under fire for promoting Euro-skeptic nationalism and implementing controversial new laws.
Poland’s right-wing Law and Justice Party has been in power since 2015 and has since begun pushing through controversial judicial reforms that put the Supreme Court and the constitutional court under the control of the ruling party. The Justice Minister was also granted permission to fire the heads of lower courts, and the ruling party appointed new members of the National Council of the Judiciary, a body that appoints judges.
Last year, the European Commission launched infringement proceedings against Poland over what have been characterized as illiberal judicial reforms.
