News / TV Trwam to stop cooperating with Duda [17]

Republika is an extra on every platform, I seem to remember. Not to mention that TV Trwam is available on DTT, whereas Republika isn't.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

I'm giving a swerve to the office Christmas party tonight so as to make sure I'm in a fit state to be outside the court at noon tomorrow.

Likewise, I'll be getting an early night to make sure that I get there.

The two comments above this post entirely show why we need to defend our democracy against the kind of people that think in such crude terms.

Anyway, last post before bed.

Tomorrow, there will be mass demonstrations in multiple Polish cities - join us from 12:00 as we demand the government respects the rule of democracy, the law and the Constitution.

komitetobronydemokracji.pl/manifestacje-obywatele-dla-demokracji-12-12-2015-poza-warszawa/

I especially urge anyone that cares about this country to attend tomorrow if they can. Doesn't matter who you are, what matters is that you care about this country.

News / "We will not hesitate to shoot Kaczyński dead" - KOD Facebook page [164]

Claiming that that the election results are invalid is pure propaganda and Orwellian double-speak.

No-one is claiming that the election results are invalid. It seems that your knowledge of Polish affairs is similar to your knowledge of Polish law - non-existent.

You foreign English teachers should be careful about what you write, especially when promoting subversion.

We will demonstrate against the abuses of democracy in Poland as much as we want, regardless of what some American thinks 6000 miles away.

Just read something very amusing. It transpires that TV Republika reported the "death threat" within minutes of it being posted online - which shows that it was very obviously a coordinated action. What kind of pathetic government is so scared of opposition that they do something like that?

It's pretty obvious that all these smears are being conducted by PiS-trolls, paid for in the same way as the infamous Putin trolls online. We can expect much more of this, and it's our job to defend Poland and ourselves against such primitive and crude behaviour.

Not really. We know who made the post - a PiS supporter that was barely literate. We don't need to prove who made it - we know that PiS have an army of brainless goons at their disposal, and we prefer to use more eloquent arguments.

Of course, because that coalition will delight in and publish everywhere every single offensive remark made by Rydzyk's empire.

I must admit, I'm looking forward to a media war between the PiS media and Rydzyk's media.

News / TV Trwam to stop cooperating with Duda [17]

Simply put, Kaczyński doesn't like sharing power.

It's a very shrewd move if it was orchestrated by Kaczyński - TV Trwam can only get PiS into trouble, whereas breaking the links with Rydzyk now that they've obtained power is the sensible thing as Rydzyk can't be portrayed as being the religious arm of PiS.

News / TV Trwam to stop cooperating with Duda [17]

You haven't been paying attention then, because the Catholic Right in Poland have been going insane over the last few days. For example - wolna-polska.pl/wiadomosci/smierc-prezydenta-andrzeja-dudy-2015-12 - where they openly insult Duda for meeting with representatives of the Jewish community and suggesting that he's some sort of double agent. The First Lady also has been abused rather badly online for being partially Jewish.

News / TV Trwam to stop cooperating with Duda [17]

In possibly one of the most amusing news stories this year, it seems that Rydzyk is so furious with Duda over the Hanukkah celebrations a couple of days ago that he's decided to stop cooperating with him. This story has to be read - it's so completely ridiculous. Polonius, comments?

Of course they're guilty. PiS are masters of crude propaganda being used to proclaim innocent people guilty before they've even had a chance to be tried.

I'm just surprised that PiS after 8 years still didn't learn how to use propaganda effectively. Then again, neither did the PRL after 44 years.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

That attempt at a constitution is invalid since Lech Wałęsa was the president of the Second Polish Republic at the time, and had not signed his assent to any of it.

Could you perhaps explain your comments with reference to Polish law? Given that the PRL was internationally recognised and met all the criteria for sovereignty while the II RP had ceased the exist in the eyes of international law, it seems that you're completely at odds with the opinion of the vast majority of Poles as well as the international community.

Yes, and we would go there too.

"we"? You're American, not Polish. More to the point - I think you'll struggle to find anyone willing to let in millions of ex-USSR citizens into Poland freely.

These foreign subversives are protesting the democratically elected government of Poland, and its president in support of a political stunt by an illegal judgment from five judges, a clear minority, on the communist era creation known as the Constitutional Tribunal.

Foreign subversives? This is a protest movement led by Poles, organised by Poles and supported by Poles. Furthermore, the judgement wasn't illegal, as it was made in accordance with the Constitution and the Constitutional Tribunal Act.

No, if they hold Polish citizenship and don't claim another citizenship, then they remain Polish citizens.

What are you talking about? They were citizens of the USSR and then of the successor states - they lost Polish citizenship. Given that you struggle with Polish law so much, perhaps you should read the 1951 Polish Citizenship Act.

Art. 1. A Polish citizen cannot be a citizen of another state at the same time.
...
Art. 4. A person is not considered a Polish citizen, even if on August 31, 1939, he or she had Polish citizenship, but now lives in a foreign country, and:

1) Following the changes in the borders of Poland, became a citizen of another state

2) is of Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Lithuanian, Latvian or Estonian nationality

3) if of German nationality, (unless the spouse of such a person has Polish citizenship and resides in Poland).


polish-citizenship-act-1951.cklawoffice.eu/

They lost their citizenship through the 1951 Act. Clearly, you're lacking in knowledge about Polish citizenship law.

The factually incorrect information by "Legal Eagle" is exactly why I strongly encourage everyone to take to the streets tomorrow to counter the crude and incorrect propaganda spouted by pro-government forces.

News / Monthly Smolensk Commemorations in Poland! [34]

I left out the mountain people, we need those guys & girls in their awesome outfits.

Nah, they're not allowed, they've got separatist tendencies and the Dear Leader Chairman Kaczyński will not tolerate that. And they speak funny, so we definitely can't have that.

I reckon though, we need masks. Lots of masks. Everyone should have to wear one (a Lech one) on the 10th of each month until Justice Has Been Done. Lech beer also cannot be sold on the 10th of each month to avoid any sort of jokes.

What about putting some of the opposition supporters in a big cage outside the Presidential Palace and abusing them, like with the Romans and the people they fed to lions? There's that "Two Minutes Hate" in 1984, so this could be the PiS version..whaddya think?

What suggestions my good friends and frenemies of Polish forums, how can we help PiS in their propaganda war?

You know how Ireland has the Angelus at 6.00? Well, every morning at 8.41, we could play patriotic clips and the national anthem along with pictures of Lech Kaczyński, and make it obligatory viewing in classrooms, in prisons and other places. Most classrooms have TV's, so this shouldn't be a problem!

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

voting done at midnight..hehehe democracy my a$$

PiS have been doing a lot of that recently, yet you don't seem to be saying anything about them.

you better do urself a favor and join some medical therapy for your head problems

People of Poland - this is the sort of abuse we're facing from "patriots" that actually live outside Poland. Join us, won't you? ;)

Shortly after that communique which announced the end of the Versailles sécurité regime against Germany and the start of Franco-British appeasement, the Poles changed the constitution correctly comprehending the threat posed against the nation.

Your knowledge of Polish history is woeful, given that Piłsudski had been organising show trials of the political opposition in 1930. The 1935 Constitution was just the continuation of the anti-democratic policies followed by that dictator.

How many Poles do you know who went through the bureaucratic process of having their citizenship recognized?

Several. None of them had any problems, except when they did the usual arrogant foreigner thing of refusing to supply the needed documents.

A related matter is the legal indifference to the citizens of the Second Polish Republic and their heirs who remain in the former USSR.

What legal indifference? PiS introduced the Karta Polaka, PO continued that policy, everything is fine. You do realise that it's not just possible to grant Polish citizenship to many ethnic Poles in the ex-USSR? If you did - countries such as Belarus would immediately strip them of their Belarusian citizenship and therefore force them to leave Belarus. That's exactly why the Karta Polaka exists - because it provides them with possibilities without threatening their legal situation at home. I wouldn't expect someone thousands of miles away to understand this, though.

Furthermore, if you use citizenship of the II RP as a defining factor, then there are millions of Ukrainians that would also be entitled to come here. As usual, your knowledge of Poland seems to be based entirely on Wikipedia.

PO and Tusk preferred to bring Arab refugees into the country rather than follow the German's lead and repatriating ethnic Poles.

Poland can't afford to "repatriate" anyone beyond a token few from Donetsk. Most of them don't speak Polish anymore - I've had contact with a lot of Polish-Ukrainians and visited Polish churches in Ukraine, and the language has been lost. Likewise, the token ones repatriated from Ukraine recently were said to have problems with the Polish language.

Trying to insult the 1997 Constitution by saying that it's "Communist based" shows that you've got no respect for Poland.

They are protesting against a constitution in which the President and Sejm can assert popular sovereignty after winning an election (a democratic republic) in favor of the tyranny of the an unelected veto by those who lost the election, (a judiciocracy).

We are protesting against the attempts to break the Constitution and defending the institutions established by the Constitution from the acts of a President that barely won the popular vote and a government that has a tiny majority of 5.

Anyway, tomorrow, join us! If you're in any doubt - look at the posts by "Legal Eagle", "Gregy", "Ironside" (especially his threats of violence and bloodshed) and remember that if we don't take action, people like that will control this country.

opposed what?Pawlak was member of zsl and then leader of pls after communist zsl was disbanded and renamed.it was communist peasants party.

You do realise that people did join those "bloc parties" because they offered some limited political freedom?

it is clear what sort of "behavior" was that.Macierewicz list and lustration bill.

Hardly. It was several months of utterly poor government, an utter inability to work with Wałęsa and many more things. The government only had 114 seats out of 460 in the Sejm, and Olszewski didn't really seem to understand that he had to try and build consensus, and he picked fights with a far more powerful President.

yea.....justifying stopping lustration and revealing UB agents behind noble words..pathetic filth they were and are.

Pathetic filth? I hardly think stopping the publication of a list that was full of mistakes and inaccuracies is anything other than the right thing to do.

shame "the night shift" documentary is not available in english..shocking documentary about Tusk AND other filth

It's not "shocking", it's a partisan documentary designed to insult and discredit anyone that didn't pander to Olszewski.

At the end of the day, it was Olszewski that lost the vote of confidence.

Anyway, back to the topic : we welcome you, whoever you may be, to join us on Saturday on the streets.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

you knowledge of polish history is close to null,tho you have only big mouth to speak about it.

Your knowledge of Polish history seems to consist entirely of statements made by people that would quite happily support Russia in ruling over Poles if it meant power for them personally.

he was leader of kld with almost 8% seats in parliament

8% of seats? That's not exactly a huge amount :D The party was what, the 8th biggest party in the Sejm?

it was Tusk who in front of cameras promised commie Pawlak that he will rule Poland after dismissing olszewskis goverment.

How could Pawlak be a "commie" when he opposed the PZPR in 1981? That's just another pathetic smear from typical PiS voters who like to think that everyone but themselves are Communists.

they were voting no confidence to stop UB agent lustration.

If Olszewski lost the confidence of the Sejm, then it means that he lost the confidence of the Sejm. There's nothing more to it. This is democracy Gregy, and it's worth pointing out that the vote against him was supported by left, centre and right wing parties.

It's pretty clear that the behaviour of Macierewicz and other members of Olszewski's government led to the downfall, not anything else.

violating both the dignity of citizens and democratic values

Magic words, Gregy, magic words.

Maybe you have no respect for yourself, but here, we respect democratic values and the dignity of citizens.

Walesa was sumoned at midnight to sighn dismissal of goverment

Wałęsa orchestrated the whole thing, so I doubt he was "summoned". The whole thing was Olszewski losing a struggle for power with Wałęsa, nothing more. The whole UB agent list was designed to try and discredit Wałęsa so that the armed forces would unite behind Olszewski, meaning that he could neuter the very strong Presidency. He lost that game.

News / Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]

do you know that Tusk with the help of Walesa and commies did overthrow the very first polish democratic government,after collapse of communism. and then proceeded to put those commies back into power?

Oh dear. Your lies about Polish political history are about as pathetic as it gets. He didn't "overthrow" anyone, and Tusk wasn't a major political figure back then. Wałęsa had huge problems with Olszewski not because of communists, but because Wałęsa wanted to control the military in the same way that Jaruzelski did. The government had different ideas. The whole thing came about because the April and December novelas completely failed to address who was actually in charge of the armed forces. Let's not forget that Wałęsa was prone to interfering in almost everything, while Olszewski was also very difficult to work with.

Let's also not forget that Olszewski brought a lot of it on himself, not least because he was playing stupid political games.

you are ignorant in polish history.

And you are just a liar. Olszewski's government fell because Wałęsa commanded significant power and he wasn't afraid to use it. Let's not forget that Olszewski fell not because of any anti-democratic actions, but because he lost the vote of confidence in the Sejm. It wasn't as if it was a narrow defeat - I forget the exact number, but it was something like 280 votes against him.

over 70% Tusks KLD party parliament members were former UB agents

Prove it. Ah, you won't - because you frequently post utter lies on here.

i cant be bothered by there is even more interesting stories about frasyniuk--one of major supporter of KOD.

What a surprise, really. PiS have used a fake profile to cause trouble, and now they'll use their goons to harass and threaten Kijowski. It's all entirely predictable - just like in Russia, opposition is dealt with through smears, slander and the security forces.

Any proof? You seem to believe only what you wnat to believe, If Petru says something the only thing an honest person can say is: "Petru said such and such", not that what he said was gospel.

The proof is in the fact that it wasn't posted from Kijowski's profile, perhaps?

To those who never smelt tear gas, felt the sting of a ZOMO baton, were bowled over by water cannon or hauled down tot eh polcie station for questioning, the KOD nonsense will provide a welcome resptie and diversion from the boring Internet and same old pub.

I have a terrible feeling that we will experience exactly that sooner rather than later. The PiS nationalist goons are already planning to attack KOD on Saturday in Warsaw.

Fortunately, the way that KOD is set up means that if you cut off one head, ten heads will replace it. And so on.

Rubbish. PiS didn't want to de-communise anything, as witnessed by their appointment of an ex-PRL and PZPR public prosecutor to lead the Human Rights Commission. They merely wanted to control the TK with their own puppets.

And there's no travesty of justice if the TK acts as the judge in constitutional issues. It's all in the Constitution - you could try reading it, especially Article 190, paragraph 1.

Blimey Ironside, you've really made it clear recently that you support violence towards anyone that opposes the government.

Luckily majority of Poles do not give a damn about those clowns and their demonstrations, that might change if their keep stirring.

Merged: TVP journalist attacked at monthly Smolensk march

To sum up - a TVP journalist was reporting on the monthly Smolensk marches when some bitter and twisted individuals started attacking him without any reason whatsoever. This certainly sums up the attitude by government supporters, where they're willing to indulge in violence towards anyone that they don't approve of. It certainly reminds one of the attitude in Russia towards independent journalists, where violence is common towards anyone that doesn't present the approved Government point of view.

Sadly for you, a lot of the people attending on Saturday aren't "macho teens and 20s", but rather respected people from all walks of life. But really, you know that KOD is a threat to the government - this isn't a bunch of inarticulate thugs, after all ;)
