Member states discussed today the partial suspension of Israel’s participation in the Horizon Europe programme. Some were ready to move forward and adopt, while others asked for more time to study. No vote has been scheduled but it could happen if a clear majority is formed. All eyes on Germany.

You care about recycling, but you think your neighbours don’t believe it matters. So, reluctantly, you stop too. But what if most of them do believe everyone should recycle - and think others don’t? Our new philosophical paper in Synthese explores this trap! link.springer.com/article/10.1... 1/

Faculty on the move! After three fruitful years at the University of Wroclaw, I'm excited to start a new chapter at the University of Silesia! I’ll be working on a project in the philosophy of criminal law funded by @ncn.gov.pl. Grateful for the warm welcome and looking forward to what’s ahead! 🥳

Today I received very good news :) Polish Minister of Science and Higher Education decided to award me a scholarship for outstanding young scientists. Once again, the saying turns out to be true: "Third time's a charm!" lnkd.in/djUqCVvi

And we already know. The next president of Poland will be Karol Nawrocki, supported by Kaczynski's Law and Justice party. And basically by other right-wing candidates. This is primarily a sign of opposition to Donald Tusk's government, which has very poor ratings in society after 1.5 years of rule.

Poland's second round of presidential election, exit pokl: 50,3 vs 49,7... ...which means that no one knows.

Poland is choosing her next president!* At noon, the turnout has been higher than two weeks ago. *Poland in Polish is feminine.

Yesterday, the current president of Poland, Andrzej Duda, gave an interview to the popular YouTube channel Kanał Zero. He talked about many aspects of his life and presidency, but one thing deserves to be told. 1/

The Polish presidential campaign has hit another bump in the road as journalists have dug up some pretty shocking stuff about the people who joined Karol Nawrocki, the candidate supported by Kaczynski's Law and Justice party, in a 2009 football hooligan fight. 1/

A mass grave of 456 individuals kidnapped, held, #tortured, and killed by #Sudan’s “Rapid Support Forces” (RSF) has been discovered by the Sudanese Armed Forces in the Omdurman neighbourhood of #Khartoum www.newarab.com/news/sudan-a...

EXCL: Israel’s critics say it should be exiled from global sport over its war in Gaza, just as Russia was — and the EU’s top sports official signaled his agreement. “Through sport, we have to promote the values that we stand for, with any country,” he told POLITICO. www.politico.eu/article/eu-s...

Today, 6 days before the second round of the presidential elections in Poland, journalists announced that Karol Nawrocki (a candidate supported by Kaczyński's Law and Justice) had been arranging sex workers for guests of the hotel where he worked as a security guard. www.onet.pl/informacje/o... 1/3

New paper out! 'Doxastic Precautionary Principle as Political Encroachment' in Acta Analytica (full open access). It’s about how governments should form beliefs under uncertainty. Should they wait for proof or act early? Let’s explore! 1/

Russia is terror bombing Ukrainian civilians. Russia is a terrorist group. Far worse than all the other ones put together.

How can beer play a big role in politics? Yesterday, the candidate in the second round of the presidential elections in Poland, a representative of Tusk's party, Rafał Trzaskowski, was "interrogated" by the third in the race, representing the far-right Confederation, Sławomir Mentzen. 1/

Yesterday, Karol Nawrocki admitted that 10 years ago he took part in arranged 70 on 70 fights of hooligans. The journalists established that they had strong ties with criminal groups. He still has 50%chances of becoming the next president of Poland.

Nice!

Israel’s finance minister touts genocide: "The approach is entirely different from anything in the past… now we conquer, cleanse, and stay… what remains of the Strip is also being wiped out…. The population will reach the south of the Strip – and from there move to third countries.”

Dear friends from outside Poland, let me help you understand what happened yesterday during the presidential elections in Poland. The first round was won by the candidate of the main ruling party under Donald Tusk - Rafal Trzaskowski (31.36%). 1/

This is what happens when a good non-legal philosopher does legal philosophy! The effect is really interesting!
