My guest this week is Rafal Pankowski, a Professor at the Institute of Sociology of Collegium Civitas in Warsaw, who has published widely on nativism in Poland. He is also co-founder of the anti-racist ‘Never Again’ Association and a tireless activist to kick racism out of football. I will talk with Rafal about the transformation of the far right in Poland, the democratic challenges that Poland is facing under the current PiS government, and the continuing problem of racism in Polish football.
