Poland will take half a century to catch up with the West [240]
Poland's history is one of getting ripped of - by outsiders and by the Polish upper class itself. As long as the upper crust keeps skimming off the top Poland will never catch up to the prosperous West, where with a few exceptions, kleptocracy is a little more frowned upon.
The words of Justice minister Czuma's son pretty much say it all: to paraphrase - nepotism is normal in Poland and it is a good thing, because without it politicians would never get anything done. This from the son of deadbeat who left the US in a hurry with the shirt on his back because of liens on his house and such due to unpaid bills...and this is the current Minister of Justice in Poland.
We will see pigs fly before Poland becomes another Holland, Germany, or France in this lifetime.
