Poland is not taking part in European tolerance:

"The council of Europe proclaimed this coming October 10th 'European day against the death sentence', despite the veto waved by Poland, which, as could be expected, is opposed to the creation of his day", comments the Portuguese university scholar Carla Machado. Warsaw had proposed to create a 'defence of life day' instead, which would at once condemn the death penalty, abortion and euthanasia. "Curious, but not particularly innovative, the Polish attempt to compare the death penalty to abortion. ... The Polish attitude should make those concerned about radical Islamism or Turkish EU accession stop and think. Poland is already here ... and it does not seem to be showing any signs of the famous tolerance or open attitude to civilisation which is said to characterise European culture."
