News / Corruption scanadal in the European Parliament [30]

Orange Polska (a mobile operator)

btw the majority owner of the Orange brand is the state of France - so we are effectively sponsoring the French state - I'm pretty sure PiS wouldn't sell Telekomunikacja Polska to a foreign entity

especially that in 2015 they promised to change it??

I don't know why - probably because Orange France drains Orange Polska with fees for 'consultation', overpriced purchases from Orange France etc - you cannot help it without breaking European Treaties i think - the only thing that can be done is imposing a sales tax (on top of or instead of VAT tax - there is no VAT tax in the US as far as I know and individual states impose sale taxes)

for example Orange Polska pays 1,6 per cent of it's mobile services turnover (and 0,8 per cent of its landline services turnover) solely for using the Orange brand (like Orange brand means anything) - with the turnover of over 11 billion PLN you can safely bet that the fee exceeds 100 million PLN (more than Orange Polska paid as an income tax in 2019) :

the interests of international businesses

for your personal information, Atch: Orange Polska (a mobile operator) paid 146 thousands PLN in income tax in 2020 (when the turnover of the company was 11 billion) - T-Mobile was even better - it paid 10 thousand PLN in income tax that same year with the turnover of 9 billion PLN - in comparison Polkomtel (the owner of Plus network owned by Polish capital mostly) paid almost 200 million PLN in income taxes (with the turnover of 7 billion PLN)

- PKO BP (owned mostly by the Polish state) paid 1,5 billion PLN in income tax in 2018

They're kind of like an arrogant teenager

oh yeah, it's better to follow the German agenda like Bulgaria and be as corrupt as you wish than standing for your average citizen who for example needs coal to heat their house and not for the interests of international businesses (especially German) - by the way Atch since we are at it what treaties and agreements did Poland break since you seem to be 'knowing things' that I may have missed

btw your the index you are refering to is a corruption perception index - many PiS haters think the ruling party is corrupt that's the thing - if you ask me they are hysteriacs (or whatever you call it in English) - secondly the perception of corruption lingers for some time after the actual corruption vanishes: this is the case of Poland in my personal opinion

Life / Bribery and corruption 'fact of life' in Poland? [152]

SKOK credit union bank scandal

if SKOK was the problem of PiS, PO would have long ago capitalized on it, since the issue happened when PO was in power - the biggest scam was in SKOK Wołomin which was established by ex-communist military intelligence functionaires

also SKOK's were not under the supervision of KNF before 2013 because they were not obligated to pay into the Bankowy Fundusz Gwarancyjny and people's savings in SKOK's were not protected by the BFG - I don't know much about it but it is entirely possible that including SKOK's in the BFG (and demanding them to pay into the Fund) meant the downfall of them - to those uninitiated PO/PSL ruled in 2013

Bulgaria and Greece

somehow Bulgaria and Greece didn't have a problem with their post covid rebuild plan accepted - Poland though has (with very low corruption) - isn't it because Bulgaria follows the German agenda (don't know about Greece but they are dependent on EU help after the near bankruptcy so probably they also have to follow the German agenda)

No, you are lying now.

read the whole article above (the link I posted) - and tell me again I am lying

or maybe read this cause the other article might be too long for your short attention span:

Is this how PZU's management supports PiS? They revealed huge transfers

I would hardly call it corruption, sorry - corruption would be if the state companies directly subsidies the ruling party - all these transfers were within law (within the legal threshold of 'sponsoring' political parties) - compare it to the 'słupy' affair of Palikot

btw PO operated the same model - did you hear about it from TVP or TVN back then

I would hardly call it corruption, sorry

any other examples of 'PiS corruption'?

among those suspected is the vice-president of the chamber Eva Kaili from Greece - and these people wanted to teach Poland the rule of law

I didn`t notice such "hysteria"

he didn't say "histeria" in his post - and you were personally histeriac about the dismissal of German Patriots by the Polish government - the sad truth is that Germany is (unfortunately not openly) hostile to Poland's interests and that Patriot stunt was cheap trick that would cost Germans exactly nothing

Life / I'm from China and I would like to ask about the real experience of life in Poland [44]

The air pollution is not caused by poor people

smog is not caused by power generation simple as that - if it were, Bełchatów, Turoszów and Opole areas would be among those most affected and they are not - smog is caused by low level emissions, just plenty of them and this is caused by burning coal - it happened so that coal was the cheapest option to heat your house not so long ago (we heat our house with coal for the very reason - I don't live in a city so, yeah, don't jump on me for causing smog in Kraków or Warsaw)

regulations which would allow them to control the judiciary and make them rule as PiS demands.

this is your private opinion (of course you are entitled to have your own opinions however unbased in reality and hysterical they are)

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

@Tacitus

maybe I am wrong but what I heard is that there is no definition on rule of law in the European treaties and if ECJ rules anything about it it would mean it is creating law not interpeting it or applying it (which means we are no longer in a democracy but in juristocracy) - not so long ago the current United States Supreme Court overturned the long established ruling of the Supreme Court on abortion (Roe vs Wade) argumenting that the previous ruling was an excess of power (since in the tripartition of powers courts are supposed to apply the law not to create it)

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

Germans want to give Patriots to Poland,

first of all we don't need Patriots at the moment since Russia is not waging war on us - for Germans it was an empty gesture that would not cost them anything while there is unsettled question of billions in reparations - Germany is also (not so openly unfortunately) hostile to the current government

anyway your (German) narration that German Patriots cannot be given to Ukraine was refuted by no other than the NATO secretary general

anyway Germany's minister of defenece's statement that Patriot systems cannot be given to Ukraine without consultations with other NATO nations were dismissed by the general secretary of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg - he said that it is a national decision

They suggested to send the system to Ukraine, knowing perfectly well that NATO armament may only be operated within NATO borders.

yeah, that's why Americans send HIMARS's, Javelins and their howitzers to Ukraine, you idiot
