Polish politics has entered a new rhetorical phase as one official linked border control directly to public safety. Member of the European Parliament Dominik Tarczyński has been promoting his slogan 'Be Like Poland', echoing the populist cadence of Donald Trump's 'Make America Great Again'.
Over the weekend, Tarczyński filmed himself in Warsaw at dawn and later in Kraków, contrasting Poland's street with unrest in Paris. 'Last night, I made a video to show you the difference between Warsaw and Paris. Tonight, I decided I'm going to drive to Kraków, a three-hour drive from Warsaw, to show you what "Be Like Poland" means. Look, this is Kraków, late Sunday evening,' Tarczyński said, wearing his trademark 'Be Like Poland' hat and hoodie.
