Heatwave exposes Polish rail weaknesses: delays, cancellations and infrastructure damage

A heatwave triggered a cascade of disruptions on Poland's rail network, with trains running significantly late, some services cancelled, and others forced to slow down due to safety restrictions. Infrastructure damage was reported at multiple locations across the country. Experts warn that without investment to adapt the rail network to rising temperatures, such disruptions will become increasingly frequent.

Should Polish railways prioritise investment in heat resilience?

"Rewolta" in Poznań: Maanam's music brings the 1956 workers' uprising to the stage

Poznań's Musical Theatre has staged "Rewolta," a show about the workers' protest of June 1956, built around the hits of Polish post-punk rock band Maanam. The combination of Maanam's music with the story of the anti-communist uprising proved a creative risk that critics have received positively.

She argued that no country currently is ready to back Ukraine's vision of history, and that Ukraine is consequently heading toward self-isolation.
