So glad that, if I don't have a choice but living here, I get to live in this country's best part, polish seaside mentality is, I think, most modern

LGBTQ+ free zone... sounds like a thing of the nazi regime... which is ironic since Auschwitz is in Poland. What's next? deportation of LGBT people to concentration camps...? Then again people are blind in what they view as "the truth".... ugh and the truth is always a half one on paper :neyde:

Do we know what the EU funding contributes to?

My main concern is that if the funding helps at all with the military or defense in that area of Poland, then Russia was just handed a gift.

Well yeah their government suck but I feel bad for LGBT people living in Poland. We shouldn't turn our backs to this country and let them be. Imagine how scary must be for LGBT people living in there.

As far as I know it's only the funding for informing people about EU activities and such.

"The cities and municipalities had applied for a grant between €5,000 and €25,000 under the twinning programme of the Europe for Citizens project, which aims to stimulate debate and civic participation on EU policies."

 

It's mostly symbolic. Poland gets nearly 20 billion euros in EU subsidies every year despite only contributing 2 billion to the EU budget. Most money goes to farmers and infrastructure projects in underdeveloped regions (like Eastern Poland). Those subsidies are not in question at the moment, sadly. But changing those subsidies requires unanimous approval from all member states, while these small subsidies for EU civic participation can be withheld unilaterally by the Commission.
