History / History of Poland in a pill - illustrated [41]


Let me finish the Decline section.

Poland was first partitioned by 3 neighbouring countries in 1772 because it was to weak to prevent it. It gave some food to patriotic Poles/Polesses who tried to introduce necessary reforms and cure the patient aka the state balancing on the verge of complete demise. They were successful to certain extent and they even declared the 3rd May Constitution, the second in the world. However, when Russians invaded to suppress the reformatic movement, the last King of Poland, let his name be cursed and forgotten, surrendered Polish troops led by patriotic general Kosciuszko and the state fell prey to the last , 3rd partition, between Russia, Prussia and Austria, in 1995.

PS. BTW, my parents always repeated to me - every patriotic Pole/Poless should remember those dates!!!! I believed in everything as a child and the history of Poland became my eternal hobby.

The famous painting (slightly remastered for children`s book) showing enthusiastic crowds applauding the declaration of May Constitution (which formally was a coup de tat) in 1992

He also said that Europe's independence and sovereignty also directly depend on energy independence and sovereignty, adding there is no chance to return to using Russian energy even after the war finishes.
plus
He asked to take a serious approach to a full and very critical review of all regulations, including those resulting from the Green Deal which makes energy prices exorbitant.

One thing is worth mentioning - during a subsequent debate, Polish rightist MPs mercilessly attacked Tusk using their typical lies, manipulations and demagoguery.
It looked as if they wished Tusk`s plan for greater Europe would fail.

Pathological traitors!!! Tfu on you!!! Go to Moscow so that you can feel at home at last!!!!

Tusk commented wisely on that Polish trecherous rightist scum:
I am grateful to all those who came to the podium and, as is their custom, insulted the previous speaker - the Polish Prime Minister continued. I am grateful for one specific reason. - Once again, both those watching this debate and the EP could see and hear why I fought with such determination with other democrats in Poland to remove these people from power. Their way of thinking is a threat to democracy , the unity of Europe and the values ​​we have fought for for many years.

The MEPs responded to his words with a standing ovation. I feel like crying. He is the Saviour of Poland and Europe.

Donald Tusk appeared in the European Parliament on Wednesday (21 January). The Prime Minister spoke about the priorities of the Polish EU presidency.
You want 1 sentence summary of his speech???
We shall make Europe great again!!!!

Details:
Tusk's speech began shortly after 10:30 a.m. The head of the Polish government quickly received thunderous applause after the words "Raise your heads high. Europe was, is and will be great."
Leaders of other countries speak with pride about the achievements of their countries (...) Europe has the right to speak just as bluntly about its greatness - said the head of the Polish government.

He stressed that "we cannot take offense at the change in reality". He added that we are currently dealing with "a leap into the unknown". - Let's treat this as an opportunity for Europe. We can be the most competitive not only in the economy, but also in politics - he stated.

- Let's treat Donald Trump's calls to increase defense spending as a positive challenge. In Europe, we should not be irritated by such indications - said Tusk, addressing MEPs.

The Polish Prime Minister stressed that "if democracy is to survive, it cannot be associated by people with helplessness in the matter of protecting our borders". - The European Union must be strong. In politics, someone weak is contemptible - said Tusk.

Darling, it is sad, indeed. Why? You shouldn`t go into such dirty alliances with my enemies coz a friend of my enemy becomes one, too. If you continue this agenda, I will pay you with the same coin in your exchanges with others.
I already reproached you before, now is the second and last time.

Russia was sure the West wouldn`t defend Ukraine, that is why they attacked.
Now let China know we will defend Taiwan within the Western alliance to avoid such an attack.

Exactly!!! Thank you.

Now I am checking the student`s book and it is equally confusing. In one exercise pancakes is called an item of food, while in the workbook - a meal.
Surprise, surprise - there is no meal entry in the dictionary at the end of Unit 2.
Poor students learn that pancakes is a meal. What is breakfast? Also a meal. Everything is a meal, in fact :):):):

I am bothered by that mess coz until the end of their education, many Polish students mix up words dish and meal which may matter at final exams. Then they write or say: traditional Polish meals are full of calories. And examiners have to guess what they mean by that.

Certain scientific study offered surprising conclusions in 2022:

The availability of primary health care services and specialist services, other than gynaecology, in Poland was rated higher. In addition, the quality and costs of treatment received a much higher average score in the evaluation of Polish health care compared to the British system.
