Poland 2007 Elections: PO Won, PIS second [232]
"The Kaczynskis spoke, and will doubtless continue to speak, for the hurts and resentments born of Poland’s tragic 20th-century history. The problem was that they often behaved as if that history was the exclusive property of their political party, and their belligerent, populist tone its only legitimate voice.
The grudges and suspicions they nurtured extended not just to ex-Communists, but to Germans of all generations, foreign business leaders, secularists, intellectuals, and on and on. They fostered a climate of accusation and suspicion that divided Poland from its natural European partners and alienated the more forward- and outward-looking younger generation."
these are the same grudges and suspicions that are displayed on this forum - lets hope that those who continue to hold them realise the harm they are doing to poland's present and future and allow the more forward and outward-looking of the younger generation lead poland into its deserved future.
