The same faces, swapping places': Polish candidates aim to break two-party hold on power
Briefly

Pub Mentzen in Torun, Poland, reflects the intersection of politics and contemporary culture through its unique decor and atmosphere. Owned by Sawomir Mentzen of the libertarian far-right Konfederacja party, the pub serves as both a commercial space and a political statement. With its gallery of political figures and interactive exhibits like a meme museum, it critiques the Polish political elite while attracting a youthful, discontented audience. Mentzen's rise in politics embodies a blend of populism influenced by figures like Donald Trump, targeting younger male voters disillusioned by mainstream politics.
At Pub Mentzen, the blend of political satire and personal promotion creates a niche where the bizarre becomes a platform for serious political ideologies.
Sawomir Mentzen uses eccentricity in his venue not merely to entertain, but as a distinct expression of his far-right political views and discontent with elites.
