"Kapo" circulating as political insult in Southeast Europe
Original: Kapo
The word "kapo" is being used in political discourse in Southeast Europe, where it refers to a prisoner who collaborated with camp guards and is deployed as an accusation of betrayal or collaboration with authorities. Its use in political argument is drawing attention for its extreme historical connotations, with critics questioning whether such comparisons have a place in public debate.
Why now: Politicians and commentators are increasingly using the historically loaded term to attack opponents, prompting public discussion.
