News / Sikorski doctrine - Eastern Europe under threat. Poland's foreign policy. [171]

Sikorski to be nominated as a candidate.Tusk announced internal ballot

Support for Mr Sikorski from his party members:

"I have known him for years. He never gives up. He fights for Poland's interests in Washington, Berlin and Kiev. He is well received in Wilanów and Końskie. A candidate for a tough campaign. A president for tough times," writes Marcin Bosacki.

Life / Custom plates in Poland [76]

(though 4=A and 7=T are not perfect

Yes, that`s the problem. I am a perfectionist and traditionalist by nature. :):):)
However, if you work on me and other Poles/ Polesses a bit longer, we will accept your 4=A coz old customs die hard in conservative Poland and we need time to adopt new approaches. :):):)

News / R. Trzaskowski, current mayor of Warsaw, future President of Poland [285]

other KO politicians declared

Some of them mentioned US politics. Amasing!

Among them is the deputy chairman of PO and deputy head of the Ministry of National Defense Cezary Tomczyk . "I highly value both candidates. We have known each other for years. I will vote for Rafał Trzaskowski. President Trzaskowski, Prime Minister Tusk, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sikorski. This is a dream team," he wrote.

KO MEP Dariusz Joński spoke in a similar tone , writing about the "Polish security trio". He wrote about Trzaskowski that "he has the gift of connection and dialogue". "This is what the president of Poland should be like for the next 5 years", he added.

Trzaskowski is also supported by the mayor of Kraków, Aleksander Miszalski , a former KO MP. "For the first time I regret that in Poland we do not have an American system in which Rafał Trzaskowski and Radek Sikorski could run together. We have two great candidates, but there can only be one President. Good luck, Rafał Trzaskowski," he said.

News / R. Trzaskowski, current mayor of Warsaw, future President of Poland [285]

Second in the race, Mr Sikorski, has a big negative electorate.

Despite this fact, Sikorski is rocking the boat in the party to be nominated as a candidate.
That is why Mr Honourable Prime Minister Reverend Donald Holy Tusk has announced internal ballot for the party members.

Here is an opinion by a KO politician I fully agree with:

I have great respect for Radek Sikorski. We are all glad that he returned to Polish politics a year ago and is a really big reinforcement of our government. However, we have been cooperating with Rafał Trzaskowski in a large group for five years and we have a deep sense that we have to finish what we started in 2020.

- With great respect for Radek Sikorski, I believe that the best solution for the Civic Coalition, but above all for Poland, is to choose a person who has been very consistently preparing for the role of the president of Poland for five years.


On Saturday, many other KO politicians already declared on social media who they would vote for.

Food / Regional products from Poland with EU certificates and without [17]

Exactly.

Another EU certified product comes from the city of Poznań. I must unproudly admit I have never tried it. :):):

St. Martin's croissants were invented in 19th century to celebrate St Martin`s Day which falls on 11 Nov.

The recipe for them is not simple. Yeast puff pastry is used for baking, which is the kind that after cooling must be rolled out with butter or margarine. The croissants are stuffed with white poppy seeds mixed with orange peel, nuts, almonds and marzipan. The whole thing is covered with icing.

The 140-year-old pastry quickly gained popularity. First in Poznań and the region, and then throughout Poland. It can be bought in confectioneries, shops and supermarkets. However, only a small number of them are real St. Martin's croissants. In 2008, the croissant was recognized as a "Product with Protected Designation of Origin in the European Union". "A special certificate guaranteeing compliance with the traditional recipe is held by 94 confectioneries in Poland" - informs the portal poznań.pl.

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

if you cut out the sausage and bacon used in them

Don`t be stupid. Without those ingredients I would have to consume such soup in dozen portions a day to provide me with necessary calories to survive winter.

Life / Polish patriotic music! [40]

Polish rock groups also create patriotic music

A newer song from 2000s by Horytnica, a great group which deals with historical topics.
They also committed a song about their love for Poland.

Amazing music and inspiring lyrics

My beloved Poland, my only homeland,
your proud white and red colors,
I live for you, you will always last for me.

Food / Healthy polish food? [134]

salt and saturated fat

Possible but you forgot to add that`s the result of living in Polish climate for centuries. Poles and Polesses used salt as a preservative in hot weather and fat as calorie provider in cold weather. The Irish didn`t have to worry about winters.

make a few other adjustments.

Exactly. Change everything and make Irish soup in result. hahaha buhahahaha
