In Europe. Only Ireland said the truth 

 

 

 

A very strange link to the the Olympic Games here.

The Irish politician is Boyd Barrett of the People Before Profit party.

His mother is the actress SInead Cusack, was born when she was a teenager and was adopted by another couple.

Many years later his mother married British actor Jeremy Irons who played IOC president Avery Brundage in the film "Race" about Jesse Owens.

President Andrzej Duda just announced that current Prime Ministry Mateusz Morawiecki will get rights to create "new" government, despite PiS does not have enough seats in Parliament to create government and ruling alone.

At least they do not make statements about fighting for religious values and planning to send an astronaut in space at the same time :facepalm:

According constitution winning (in percentage) party as first gets rights to create "new" government. Current Prime Ministry Morawiecki have now one month to create his cabinet, which have to be later accepted by Sejm, where opposition will have more members, if they will vote against new Morawiecki's cabinet then opposition will get rights to create new government.
