I meant policies which consisted in reducing the budgets of local councils. PIS robbed them of their incomes in broad daylight.
Today, before the local gov elections in early April, PiS bolsheviks claim they did their best to enhance councils` development. Stinking liars!!!

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Activists helping refugees on the Polish-Belarusian border are dissatisfied with the activities of the services. They complain, among others: on the so-called pushbacks, i.e. pushing people who were already on Polish territory back to Belarus. Another problem is the brutality of the Border Guard.

- Those in power think that if they slightly change the language and replace "deportations" with "returns", everything will change, but it doesn't work like that. There's the same crap underneath that powder. There remains the problem of pushbacks and brutal violence at the border. Other words do not change this reality, they only distort it. The new government's announcements are nothing more than a continuation of PiS policy, says Aleksandra Chrzanowska from the Legal Intervention Association and the Granica Group in an interview with Onet.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk recently spoke at a meeting in Morąg about the situation on the border. He assured that he cares about the humane treatment of migrants, but Polish territory is to be tightly protected.

- My task is to make sure pushbacks are not needed at all. They are illegal from the point of view of international law, but I will not make any decision that will make our border less tight than it is now - He added that it is not tight, but constantly strengthened. - This is a matter of the survival of our Western civilization. If we are open to all forms of migration without any control, our world will collapse. The state is responsible for guarding its border, and my government is responsible for ensuring that it is consistent with humanitarian principles, concluded the politician.

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]


Some leftists in Poland complain that Tusk`s gov`s performance at the border is extremely disappointing coz the old policy of pushing back migrants brought by Belarus and Russia`s regimes is still continued. Those leftists have counted on open borders after the elections. Really mad. :(:(:(:(


Exactly. Anybody who demands free entry at the border is out of their mind.
Support our border protectors!

On today`s meeting, top PIS leaders, after seeing the plummeting poll resulys, decided to change their attitude completely. :):):) AmaSSing guys......

The decisions of the PiS leadership - as we hear from our interlocutors - will also affect Kaczyński himself. The leader of the party allegedly promised his colleagues that he would change the tone of his emotional statements and curb his language, which had recently caused the party a lot of problems, although it was supposed to result from the real emotions that had been bothering the president of Law and Justice in recent months.

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [559]

Each day brings news about PIS` dirty activities from the past - their amaSSing corruption. lack of basic morals, thievery, nepotism.
It is unbelievable that a party called Law and Justice could prostitute themselves into such criminal condition.

The latest news is that PIS politicians and activists bought MBA diplomas from the corrupt board of Collegium Humanum, a third tier institution set up by rightists in 2018.

tokfm.pl/Tokfm/7,103087,30741826,collegium-humanum-jak-rodzina-soprano-wiceminister-wstrzasniety.html

The private university Collegium Humanum in Warsaw offered rapid courses that allowed you to obtain an MBA diploma. A quickly obtained diploma made it easier for its holder to join, for example, supervisory boards of state-owned companies. This path was used - as revealed by "Newsweek" - by many people associated with the United Right camp. The credibility of documents issued by Collegium Humanum was to be ensured, among others, by: foreign universities, but as a journalist's investigation showed, they were not authorized to offer MBA studies.

On February 21, officers of the Central Anticorruption Bureau of the Delegation in Rzeszów detained seven people in an investigation regarding, among others, a criminal group organized in the Collegium Humanum in Warsaw and irregularities related to the activities of the former president of the health resort in Rymanów Zdrój. On Friday, the detainees were charged.

Maciej Gdula, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, admitted that he was "shocked" by the matter. - Collegium Humanum is a series in the style of "The Sopranos". We are used to the fact that at universities, as everywhere, there are some abuses, but this resembles a very dark institution - he commented in "Radio TOK FM Morning".

The Collegium Humanum case does not end with arrests. The university issued diplomas and there were many people who received them. - We have a situation in which someone was probably handing out diplomas entitling them to legally sit on supervisory boards. The question arises whether there is some total deregulation taking place here - said Gdula.
