Corruption, financial mismanagement, private interests, spying on journalists - the government sums up eight years of rule of its predecessors, a coalition of PO and PSL.

In the early hours of Thursday, the Polish parliament voted against a call to dismiss a highly critical report on the previous government coalition drawn up by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. The vote followed a long session of presentations and ensuing debate.

To discuss this issue Roberto Galea spoke to Nathaniel Espino, from Aldgate Strategy Group and Nicholas Rochardson, a lawyer and blogger based in Warsaw.
