En Pologne, la droite nationaliste au cœur d’un scandale lié à une plateforme de cryptomonnaies

lemonde.frEn Pologne, la droite nationaliste au cœur d’un scandale lié à une plateforme de cryptomonnaiesEn avril, la société Zondacrypto s’est montrée incapable de rembourser ses clients. L’enquête a mis en lumière ses liens avec des membres du parti ultraconservateur Droit et justice (PiS) et de la formation d’extrême droite Confédération Liberté et indépendance. Déjà affaibli par une scission, le PiS, au pouvoir de 2015 à 2023, aborde les élections législatives de 2027 en position très difficile.

What the is the point of any kind of deal with this gangster, he just tears them up on a whim. Also, if he wants to increase prices for the American consumer even more, let him. Kowtowing to him is never going to work, we have to stand up to him at some point. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More: https://ow.ly/PPyh50YITax
