Idea miast partnerskich wobec wybranych uchwał samorządowych w Polsce w latach 2019–2020
The idea of partner cities toward selected local government resolutions in Poland in the years 2019–2020

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the issues related to the suspension by some European cities of cooperation with Polish cities where “anti-LGBT” resolutions or declarations have been adopted. The background of the study is the history of establishing mutual cooperation between cities and regions in Europe. The current state of partnership between local centers in Poland, which signed multilateral cooperation agreements with selected cities abroad, was also shown. An analysis of selected media messages was made which concerned the discussed issues at the turn of 2019 and 2020. As a result, an attempt was made to characterize the problem, determine its potential and possible further effects on the idea of partner towns, and analyze the possible social, legal, and cultural effects by the example of breaking the partnership by the French city of Saint-Jean-de-Braye with the Polish town of Tuchów, using the case-study method and the method of contents’ analysis.
