Donald Tusk - the worst PM of 3rd RP. [79]
normalised relations with Germany (hmm - gained nothing in the process)
Germany does not treat Poland as a partner
if it would there would not be the whole issue with the Nord Stream
the route passing by Ukraine and Bieloruossia is available (Latvia, Lithuania, Poland) and could be as much as
10 times cheaper to use. Both Latvia and Lithuania are EU members and pressure can be put on them by the EU if there is any trouble. Then again i think they would actually agree not to have any connection to new pipeline on their own territory (probably would be happy if there was a backward connection from Poland in place)
Germany is siding with Russia on this issue (accepting Russian desire to forward their policies against Baltic states, Bieloroussia, Ukraine and finally Poland) completely ignoring the interests and energetic safety of Poland.
All this German historic policies is just a tool to convince their own nation that they are entitled to have their policies against any interests of their neighbours.
(Hardly any partnership in here - many presume that German elites treat Poland as a quasi-colony and actively seek to discredit or block any more independent Polish policies)
to [
b]very little [/b]extent with Russia - speaking economically
words are empty most of the time
last example - the issue of RosUkrEnergo being chucked out of the gas transit through Ukraine and Poland not receiving the part of the gas it contracted through the company (
one fourth of the gas supplied to Poland before the gas crisis). There can be no reserves in Poland before next winter and Russians wish to use it to make us sign a bigger contract that makes construction of pipeline from Denmark or/and liquid gas port obsolete - meaning we should rely only on Russiand supplies
responsible democracy - wow (you mean standing in the line, not causing trouble to the big fish)
to me being laughing stock as long as my interests are defended is somewhat irrelevant (you can laugh at me all along as long as you pay me my say salary, dowry whatever)
Tusk government is terribly inept - the whole issue (or some considerable deal of it) with the 'opcje walutowe' could have been avoided had there been an act demanding the banks to warn companies of the risks involved.
Poland lost an opportunity to sell the CO2 emission rights to Japan cause the Ministry of the Environment could not prepare an act that would regulate who is dealing with the money in time. (Now it's Ukraine in the business)
The government does not want to deal with the issue of 'opcje walutowe' (it's siding with the banks this way) - some legal arrangements could have been made to stop the banks from executing the debts involved in an instant and demanding them (the banks) to negotiate ways of paying these sums) - a good handful of companies has already went bankrupt because of the government inaction - and poeple are loosing jobs
Shipbuilding industry has been deliberately destroyed it seems - while the EU has demanded the return of state financial aid to the industry in Poland, Germany was bailing out its own with hundreds of milions of Euros (last summer - Rostock or Wismar or maybe both). Poland has not made much of an effort to protect the shipbuilding industry (this is hundred tousands of workplaces involved - not just the dock thing - engines, machinery and quite a lot of electronic stuff were built in Poland - now it looks like it is all gone).
The time we had to do anything to avert this has been used to figure out how some individuals from the ruling party could benefit from the closures (Misiak case). What i think this is just the tip of the iceberg.
