Or, the fighting will eventually stop and the current status quo will remain permanent. It's hard to tell.

They will probably lose territory to Poland as well if this keeps up
Sigh
No they won't. It was a fringe position in the Polish far-right before the election and now that the libs have won it's even less likely to happen.
Grzegorz is a perfectly normal name, and it's not their fault if they have a difficult surname 😔
Well, there's a bit of context behind it:
The name is a meme in Poland and comes from the 1969 adventure-comedy mini-series Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową (How I unleashed World War 2).
In the second episode, the main character is in hiding insideof Nazi Germany after escaping from a Prisoner of War camp. He is eventually arrested for an unrelated reason and this is the fake name he gives to the German bureaucrat using the typewriter. Unsurprisingly, he is baffled by the spelling, especially once he gets it right... since he gets an even more difficult fake birthplace to spell by the MC.
Edit: If you mean Grzegorz, it means George and isn't too difficult, I suppose.
But yeah.
Additional Context: The state government of Bavaria (and several others around that same period, with similar ideas) passed a controversial reform of police laws in 2017-2018 (It was polemically called "The strictest police law since 1945").
It included changes such as:
increased allowance of use of personal data by the police forces.
allowing the police to openly film and photograph people participating in public gatherings.
allowing the police to infringe on postal secrecy and to confiscate mail without a person's knowledge. (if given permission by the courts)
allowing the use of police spies. Including even entering people's homes if given permission.
As well as making previous restrictions such as on "probable danger" way more lax.
