Have PO (Platforma) operatives in Poland fallen into a panic? [332]
Merged:
PO's abuses, scams, lies and unkept promisesLong is the lisr of the PO's abuses, blunders, scams, lies, unkept promises and oldboy nepotism. They include:
**Increasing VAT despite pledges not to raise taxes
**The gambling scandal
** Liquidation of the Gdynia and Szczecin shipyards
** Tusk's false promise that he had found Arab investors for the shipyards
** The clandestine recording scandal
** Despite EU funds and promises to the contrary, failure to complete motorways for Euro 2012
** Purchase of Bryza aeroplanes bypassing the required tender
** Robbery in broad daylight of pensioners' savings in the open retirement funds
** PO Senator Misiak's vote-buying scandal in Wałbrzych
** The wife of PO Minister Grad mysteriously "wins" tender in husband's ministry
** Minister Grabarczyk staffs Polish Railways posts with his cronies and their wives to the detriment of rail service
**Successive road-building tenders are called off but money is not lacking for new officials
** Despite promises not the raise taxes, excise tax is raised on natural gas and beer
** The Tusk government builds some of the world's most expensive roads, pricier than those in mountainous countries
**Despite promises to de-politicise public television, the PO puts it party flunkies into power in the broadcasting establishment the moment Komorowski was elected president
** PO MP Sawicka admits on TV that Tusk had effectively destroyed the Central Anti-Corruption Agency
**State railways are broken up into 8 separate companies, all staffed with the PO's hand-picked flunkies
** The port of Świnoujście is blocked by the Russo-German NordStream pipeline which even the PO's own Sikorski compared to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact
** The 2010 Polish Presidential plane is sent to a decommissioned former military airport in Smolensk devoid of proper landing facilities and a normal control tower
** Under PO rule unemployment skyrockets to 13% and more
** PO-backed candidate for mayor of Sopot Karnowski is accused of corruption by the prosecutor
** Bungled army reform creates a force in which ¾ are officers and NCOs and very few privates
** The PO government's "friendly state" programme turns out to be a media happening
** PO's hate campaign leads to murder of PiS activist in £ódź
** Under PO rule Poland's national debt rose by 380 billion zł in four years' time
**Tuskites fail to land Technological Institute and EXPO for Poland, unlike Kaczyński government whose successful lobbying made Euro 2012 possible
** Only President Kaczyński's vigorous opposition stopped Tusk drawing Poland into the Eurozone in 2008.
** Tusk's "single window" de-bureaucratisaiton drive is a fizzle. Poland's red tape continues to scare off foreign investors and is the bane of Polish businessman as well
** CBA chief is recalled before the end of his term for exposing PO's gambling scandal
**Following the Rywin scandal ex-commie Leszek Miller was honourable enough to resign; following the gambling scandal Tusk holds onto the "trough" for dear life
NOTE: This is but a small sampling of PO misconduct which omits mountains of abuses and irregularities at the local town-hall level. But it is sufficient to show why the ruling Platformer gang has been steadily losing support. The Polish nation should be commended for their angelic patience in putting up with it all for so long, but there is always that proverbial last straw....
