as I said, economic freedom is going down. We are already having our shops closed on Sundays to force us to "celebrate" Sundays instead of doing shopping after a full week of work. And it is only a tip of the iceberg. New welfare scheme since 2016 has been creating a huge inflation and shifting women from workforce into homes. It also indebts the country to massive amounts of debt.
As a result, private investments fell, companies are going bankrupt unless in cahoots with government, workforce participation falls and there is a major risk that Polish economy starts winding down.
As for personal freedoms, there is no freedom of speech in Poland, you can go to jail for "hate crimes" just like in Western Europe, and if Poland becomes more authoritarian, such instances will only increase. Also, the overall quality of justice system is bad, compared to more civilized countries. It's not as dramatic as in Russia, but still.
