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

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

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

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)

how do you know it was only on paper? because no main stream media investigated it?

so yeah: you agree that PO operated the same model? you read the articles, no?

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:

if there are tens of them it would be easy for you to name them - feel free

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


any other examples of 'PiS corruption'?

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

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)

@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)

Russians run out of tanks, ammo, rockets etc etc in Ukraine and you envision a Russian war with NATO - think again

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


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

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


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

sure: then why part of the former Hungarian Kingdon part of the empire was given to the post-war Austria (based on ethinical criteria)

History / What do Poles owe to Hungarians? [275]


isn't it ironic that the winners of the 1st World War who wanted self-determination of nations elsewhere gave areas of Hungarian majority often bordering the carved down Hungary to their neighbours - also I never heard of any Hungarian officials publically voicing the desire of Hungarian authorities to collect the lands back - if you have, please do link them up

this is as significant as some fringe Polish nationalist wanting Lwów to return to Poland

they all bore German names that didn't mean a thing in German - they were simply germanised Slavic names


I'm sorry to have misrepresented the incident a bit - Piotr Najsztub had a valid driving licence in the time of the incident (from what I can gather after reading up on the subject) be he didn't have it on himself - back then having a DL with you while driving was compulsory (it isn't anymore thanks to digital technologies implemented by the police)


ok, I read up some more - it turns out Najsztub actually didn't have a valid driving licence since it was withheld by the police some time earlier becuase of his previous driving offences -

Edit: it turns out he kept on driving without a valid DL for 8 years (since the police has withheld his licence in 2009)

News / Poland to officially demand $1.32 trillion WW2 reparations from Germany [457]


he was acquitted of causing a road accident not of driving without a valid driving licence - to be precise
