Bartek has played a leading role in the struggle against ultra-nationalism and intolerance in Poland. He will also speak about:
- the level of development of democratic procedures (electoral law)
- freedom of speech (LGBT manifestations)
- >freedom of media (new elected State Council of Radio and TV)
- hate speech (Radio Maryja, homophobia, anti-Semitism)
- the European policy of the new government
Nigel Tart, the party's spokesperson on LGBT issues, commented:
'We're really excited to have such an eminent Polish activist speaking at our conference. Greens from all over Europe have been actively supporting fledgling Pride events throughout eastern Europe. We were horrified when the Kaczynski regime closed down Le Madame, a gay club which also housed the national headquarters of the Green Party. For the prime minister to boast about the Polish gay scene in order to deny his government's homophobia is just barefaced cheek!'
