What do you consider to be the reason they are ahead in the Poles' polls?
the lousiness of the oppostion (both PiS and SLD - SLD won't be a productive movement any time soon and Jarosław Kaczyński got rid of the brightest people he had in the course of recent years (by being clumsy and making idiotic political moves or statements and by straightforward dislike of too independent people - in 2005 PiS united a broad spectrum of people who wanted a postive change for Poland - people dropped from PiS mainly because of Kaczyński's apodictical ways
Beret Commando, the most dangerous squad in Poland.
in a couple of years you will see a completely different yet much more dangerous squads running around the streets - and these will be the current youth of 12 to15 - raised without any authority except the media and peer pressure - you will see the effects - banditry and lack of tolerance - and I pretty much guess you will feel it very directly - you will then long for mohair grandma squads but there will be hardly any left till then
Most foreigners in this country are quite, quite happy for Poland to be a regional leader, rather than being laughed at by the world.
hhahhahaha hiiiiiihihiihihi hhahahah a regional leader hhahahah heheheh ooooooo LOL hehehehe
looks like you are a bit gullible delphi (or is it that what Mr President of the USA says you take for truth)
Selling Polish assets? Well, there has been some privatisation - but the Government has retained strategic shares in many industries, as well as loading the rules against private investors. I don't recall what company it is, but at least one large company is minority-owned by the Government, yet the Government has the majority of votes.
do you think selling Lotos refinery in Gdańsk is a good strategic move? I don't think so
PiS once blocked EU-Russia talks because the aim was to allow Russian buy-up of energy companies around Europe - PiS wanted a symmetry in relations between EU and Russia (EU capitals are mostly banned and shoved out of Russia's energy sector)
What about SLD? What concrete proposals are we to see in their manifesto?
none - except for gays rights - they are pretty devoid of creative strategic thinking for Poland and what they only care for is their own welfare (sadly more and more PiS deputies seem to go in these ruts)
such as slashing miners salaries and closing unprofitable State-owned enterprises
there wouldn't be people to work there for lower wages, pal - aren't their retirement privileges withdrawn already btw?
I don't know the ins and the outs but I would've thought repaying people for the property or land they lost is the decent thing to do? Why is there a problem with that?
because they have no legal rights to the property according to Polish law? (mainly because of the inheritance law that was in place for decades only to be replaced very recently (and for pretty obscure reasons)
