Real Estate / Real Estate Sold or Sale price [6]

The info will be available cost free in the local land register and also from the notary who conducted the deal. But you will probably need a Polish speaker to help you. I don't know if any free source on the internet - maybe when Cargo Pants logs on he can help you as he is very knowledgeable on real estate

They are not defending free speech but these horrible fat cats want to keep their snouts in the trough and Hoover up more taxpayers money.

But with the release of their salary details I think this will come to a swift end - Duda now looks foolish for defending these greedy PiStards

Work / PhD Student Salary Adjustment with Minimum Wage Increase in Poland [9]

The stipends are based I think on being 60 percent of a minimum assistant professors salary so it might go up.

There is a plan to increase all educational salaries in 2024 but the President is so far refusing to sign this law.

But you will get a better answer by asking them straight.

Mediciver have some doctors who don't speak Polish and I presume might be open to nurses or support staff for regular work like blood tests and vaccines

Yes - but tragedy is the wrong word. It is murder and the murderers will one day be extradited by a democratic Udmurtian government.

Your attitude to the air hostess is no surprise - such an act would be unthinkable in democratic Poland. In Udmurtia it is her fault for serving coffee

The reasons for death are clear

Standing too close to a window

Going shopping in Salisbury

Drinking tea in London

Going to your job as an air hostess on a plane containing Putler's enemy

Because you get poisoned or pushed out of a window for criticism of the government

And for that they are getting long sentances - of course like pussies they are trying to get out of that by saying they are mentally incapacitated etc, same excuses as Lavrov and Medvedev will be using at the Hague.

Shut about America - or alternatively go out do some American Friday night things - have a drink in a bar, watch some Basketball, have a deep pan.

In American you could certainly not spray a fire extinguisher in someone's face.

Interesting that in Udmurtia there is no free press, free speech, free assembly, right to trial and yet the paid trolls come here to lecture us about democracy

Oh - at the moment the military commissary seem to be picking poor kids from Siberia, not sure why.

What the Germans do about public religious symbols is their business. Here in Poland we can make our own rules. Braun could simply have complained or made his deranged speech on the floor of the Sejm

What does something in a German kindergarten have to do with violence in the Polish Sejm ?

Be off with you Udmurtian troll. In fact as we are getting close to day 700 of the special operation, isn't it time you went and served your country ? I don't wish you any harm but you could at least tell us first hand what it is like.

This and JK's deranged comments yesterday are a fitting coda to 8 years of idiocy.

Many private companies already do that. It doesn't need the law - let the market decide. If you want to earn a few zloty more and work on Sunday then you are free to do so, unless you work in a shop.

The government will not make a law because that will mean paying all the nurses cops and tram drivers more, one at the moment they tend to get time off on different days instead.

You missed out inflation - needs to get under control quickly, as does the huge debt run up by PiS.

Lets also include

Both easy to measure and already strong since the election

Atch the thing to do about Crno is either ignore him or mock him. Or argue back if you really have time. Not shut down his rights to spout nonsense.

Any attempts to reduce free speech should be given the most careful consideration - it really is the freedom that all our other freedoms are built upon.

I would hope that Ireland with its huge literary tradition would be a place to stick up for that right (Poland the same - should be a beacon for free speech)

It's a weird thread - Russians, Brits and Americans telling Irish people what Ireland is like

Real Estate / How is it being a landlord in Poland? Do poles pay their rent etc.? [8]

So my experience as a casual landlord - 17 years in the game. Maybe 10 tenants in 2 properties.

1 eviction and a few other cases of delay - longest was for 6 months during covid.

I am not a professional- just renting out places where I used to live. If you want to make proper money then listen to someone who does it for a living - there probably are ways to get rid of bad tenants but without the language and patience and experience then it will be more difficult

Read in the paper than in 2022 one in four properties had unpaid rent - but that includes social housing and was also after covid so maybe no longer accurate

Real Estate / How is it being a landlord in Poland? Do poles pay their rent etc.? [8]

When was the last time anybody used a check in Poland to pay their rent ? I think Pilsudski was still in power !

Real Estate / Would you rent from me? [24]

Well on Otodom there are 4 houses for rent in the whole of Olsztyn - an indication that the house rental is not really common in secondary cities.

Maybe a better move to build, put in the sustainable solar etc and then sell ? Would need the same amount of capital and a more obvious market.

Real Estate / Would you rent from me? [24]

Very expensive for Olsztyn

This might end with PiS sitting in the Sejm pretending they are the government and all the other Posels holding an alternative parliament in the Sheraton

It seems PiS are determined to trash Poland's image for as long as possible but all they do is make Tusk look like a wise and patient man.
