Merged: IV RP (BACK IN 2015)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Polish_Republic
Fourth Polish Republic is a plan for moral revolution and political change proposed by the right-leaning Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) party in the 2005 general election. According to PiS, the current Third Polish Republic is a post-communist creation whose very foundations must be changed to create a truly democratic state free of the communsit past.
Just to remind those who may not remember, at the 1989 roundtable Poland's communist rulers made a deal to allow a partially free election in exchange for a pledge that there would be no decommunsiation and they would not lose their economic clout. As a reuslt, ex-comies wormed their way into state-owned companies and the privatisation process and retained their influence in various state and public instituions. PiS spoke of an 'układ' (informal arrangement) running the country and compared it to a bridge table at which were seated representatives of previous and current special services, post-communist politcians, big business types and media moguls.
A PiS victory in 2015 will enable patriotic Poles to finish the clean-up started in 2005-2007.
