News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

a law saying that only women

How about only bald women lesbian basketball players who weigh at least 100 kg.
Or Chinese woodcutters who speak Spanish fluently and are piano virtuosos.
Or loudmouth Anglo-expat baldies who quaff scotch, speak broken Polish and claim ethnicity is based not on cultrue, upbringing and DNA but on plastic cards....

Any more "clever" Harryesque for-instances....?
BTW I stand by the PM of the democratically elected government of the Republic of Poland, not by some ex-commie who heads the Jaruzelski-spawned TK.

banana republic

Such rubbish (bald Afro homo -- you used some such weird example in the past) oes not even deserve a reply. The Prosecutor's Office have carefully investigated the matter and found the TK ruling to be illegal. Old ex-commie Rzepliński can huff and puff all he wants but his illegal ruling is not binding on the PM or anyone else.

that only women

You forgot to add one of your typical nonsensical for-instances such as the TK ruling that onyl Negro homos or Oriental lesbos can vote....
The TK violated the law by having only 12 judges present.
Courts are not sacrosanct. Courts and judges have their own axes to grind and know what side their bread is buttered on. They are now banking on the opposition rather than the government. Time will tell whether or not they have shot themselves in the foot.

outdated law is not applicable

Now it's final. The District Prosecutor's Office has drafted a statement ascertaining
that PM Szydło was not obliged to publish the TK's ruling which was illegal by virtue of not meeting the required quorum of judges. Just in case in your "impeccable" Polish you doubt my paraphrase of the statement, here it is in the original:

Projekt decyzji Prokuratury Okręgowej w Warszawie wskazuje, że orzeczenie TK zostało wydane w nieprawidłowym składzie sędziowskim, w związku z tym rząd nie ma obowiązku go publikować.

Zdaniem śledczych, nowelizacja ustawy o TK autorstwa PiS obowiązywała sędziów Trybunału, a niezastosowanie się do niej sprawiło, że wyrok nie ma mocy prawnej i premier Beata Szydło miała prawo odmówić jego publikacji.

applicable law

An outdated law is not applicable. PM Szydło could be put in prison if she printed an illegal TK ruling. Courts are part of a judicial mafia taking part in the anti-PiS campaign.

who should not have a voice

What makes you an alien feel authorised to pontificate about who may and may not vote in Polish elections? Nearly all countries allow their citizens to vote wherever they may be living, so why should Poland be any different.

Why do you insist on telling this lie so many times?

Why do you insist on telling this lie so many times? The TK function in accordance with the binding law, not some antiquated one it happens to fancy. By not abiding by the binding legal requirement to conduct their deliebrations with a 13-member panel the TK broke the law, hence all their rulings issued in that mode are illegal. Do you think if you keep repeating your bklatant lie, 12 will somehow automatically become 13 or no-one will notice the ruse? Full stop.

Constitutional Court must be allowed to judge law that affects them

The Venice Commission, bombarded by the vindictive oppositon and anti-government press plus the bounce-back effect of Michnik-repeating Western media, failed top notice one crucial point: that the TK acted in violation of the bindign amended law. Their verdict was therefore illegal. Full stop.

they give Polonia the vote

No, only Polish citizens in the US may vote in Polish eelctions. 90% of Polonia are US-born and cannot.

clearly unconstitutional law

Read the Polish law preferably in the original or use Google translate. It clearly states that a law whose constitutionality is about to be evaluated enjoys the presumption of constituionality. In simple English plain enough for even for you to understand ,that means that no law is either constitutional or unconstitutional a priori. It must first be reviewed by the 13-member TK panel. Had the TK proceeded according to the amended and binding law, the PiS TK law could have been legally declared unconstitutional. Since Rzepliński mucked up, we've got the fine kettle of fish we've got! Verstanden? Poniał? Compris? Hai capito? Zroumiano? If not, please re-read the above veeeery, slooowly and maybe you'll get it. If not, ask Delph!

blessing in disguise

So it's true. You wish the Polish people ill. Anyone gloating over a longed-for economic crash has to be a malevolent ill-wisher. Anyone hoping for a return of the bloodsucker regime re-attaching Poels to the leash of their foredign masters is clearly anti-Polish! You, Delph, fit the bill to a T! To you it's all a game. Time and again you have said things like: here comes the fun or let's sit back and enjoy the show. Poland is not a computer game, sitcom or wrestling match, it's a serious business which should not be treated lightly or joked about. It doesn't exist for the amusement of addle-brained expats who don't have a life and require such ersatz entertainment.

in accordance with the law

Yes, but which law? The Rzepliński gang ruled according to an outdated one which allowed for a 12-man panel. The upgraded law required a 13-person panel. To legally declare a law unconstitutional they would have had to conform to the amended version requiring a 13-member panel. We've been over this many times and could argue for either side until hell freezes over.

Surprise, surprise! I remember how vehemently you protested after Tusk came to power pledging not to raise taxes and then turns round and increases the Value Added Tax. Boy did you eved rant, rave and fume againsts that two-faced, lying hypocrite. Remember?

the government in Poland.

Assuming that somehow the govt recongises the TK's rulings, what if the TK and their nasty and vindictive Head Judge Rzepliński try to malicously contest every signle law enacted by the Sejm. The resultant chaos would only make the equally mean-spirited and vindictive KODists, banksters and foreign-interest lobbyists happy, eager to regain what they regard as their rightful positon, perks, privileges and profits. But it surely wouldn't be good for the Polish nation as a whole.

passport that you would not be given

You've heard the story about the Jew woefully swaying and praying: "Almighty God, I have been praying fervently to you for so many years, I religiously observe the Sabath and follow all your commandments, but I have never once won a lottery!"

Thereupon a voice boomed down from heaven: "BUY A LOTTERY TICKET!"

The moral of the story is: to get one of those trinkets one has to apply. If they gave one to your hairless guru, they'll give them to anyone. He probably can't even say the "Ojcze nasz" in Polish and has probablły never read a single book in his "native" (?!) Polish.

how hard it is to get an accurate view of Poland

... Also how hard it is to get an accurate view of Poland when one has the wrong DNA, wrong upbrinigng, wrong sensibilties, religious views, lifestyles and habits imported from a culturally alien country. Someone born and raised in a good, Polish-speaking Polonian home in Canada, the US or even Brazil, who is keenly interested in and follows Polish affaris on the net and paritcipates in Polonian cultural life, is far more a Pole than any hairy or hairless Anglo-alien wannbe bombsastically brandishing some silly plastic card or paper booklet.

For the benefit of wannabe and plastic-card "Poles" and all other not familiar with these sayings; (Sorry for the lack of dacritics):

Kto sie czubi, ten sie lubi

News / Balcerowicz - PO trojan horse in Ukrainian government [11]

state-sponsored

Extremism will get you nowhere. There was no attempt to revitalise the more promsiing industries, not all were total crap. There was no massive entrepreneurship training programme to create an indigenous Polish business class, no attempts to promote joint ventrues with foreign partners where Polish entreprenurs would retain the controlling stake. Above all, there was no attempt to create a mixed state-private Polish Capital Consortium which could have bought some of the privatised works. The consortium's assets could have inlcuded KGHM, refineries, shipyards, collieries, Cegielski, FSO, FSC, etc. (you surely don't claim that all that was worthless). Polish private investors should have been given incentives (cheap credit, tax breaks) to join the project and foreign business trainers could have been brought in. Had Balcerowicz opted for such a plan, Poland's industrial base would be a far cry from today's neo-colonial cheap manpower and assembly-plant country.

News / Balcerowicz - PO trojan horse in Ukrainian government [11]

Leszek Balcerowicz has become an official reprensentative of the Ukiainian government, President Poroshenko announced today. Balcerowicz's shock therapy of the early 1990s, which slashed Poles' buying power overnight, did put an end to run-away inflation (if I recall about $1 = 18.000 ZŁ). At the same time he sold off Polsih industry for a song and turned Poland into a neo-colonial client state of foreign intererst groups to exploit cheap manpower and assembly sites rather than working to create an indigenously Polish industrial infrastructure. Hopefully, he won't be given that much free rein in Kyiv or what's left of Ukrainian industry will soon disappear.

democrats

Democracy means rule of the people, not of just some elite. In a country where the majority are Catholics and do not want hostile separation in the French mode, the majority's will must be respected. Besides, the term separation of Church and state is not found in the Polish constituion, hence such separation would be unconstitutional.

History / Poland's Baptism 1050th anniversary -- a return to sanity? [13]

The 1050th anniversary of Poland's Baptism has given rise to films exploring various facets of the coutnry's origins. The once promtoed Marxust view that Mieszko's decision was motivated solely by political and diplomatic designs has been disputed. He is now being compared to Constantine who came to deeply believe in the Messiah. Today the Marxist approach is being continued the PC ideology, yet another passing utopia bent on reinventing the world at all costs. It aims to destroy the three main pillars of our civilisation: the family, the Christian faith and the nation state. The advocates of this insane scheme, backed by seemingly august institutions such as the EU and different governments, seem not to notice that our cvilisation is being infiltrated internally and penetrated from without by a an extremely expansive and aggressive belief system that totally rejects PC principles.

1050th anniversary

In a statement released by the Polish Episcopate on Wednesday, the Church confirmed that the Vatican opposes Archbishop Juliusz Paetz playing any role in this week's events.

"Once again, the papal nuncio personally reminded Archbishop Juliusz Paetz today of the instructions he received three years ago that he should refrain from participating in public celebrations," the statement clarifies.

"It is hard to imagine that this would not be maintained during celebrations attended by the papal legate, not to mention the visit of the Holy Father in Poland on the occasion of World Youth Day [in July]."

Celebrations marking the Baptism of Poland are due to be held on Friday in Poznań, western Poland. Paetz was Archbishop of Poznań before being compelled to stand down in March 2002, although he retains the role of senior bishop in the city.

Yesterday, Archbishop Paetz indicated that he would be taking part in the celebrations when asked by a Polish journalist whether this was the case.

Merged: "Krzyż i korona" tonight at 9PM on TVP Historia

All red-blooded Polish patriots and assorted history buffs should set aside the 9PM slot tonight (15 April) to watch "Krzyż i Korona", a feature film devoted to Poland's Baptism in 966. It is being shown on Poland's TVP Historia (History Channel). Maybe some high-tech ultra-gadgetarian PF-ers based abroad will find some way to watch it online.

An interesting

Another day, another "interesting" bash at the government. Meanwhile the PO baron up in Warmia has created "hot springs" there drowning 100 million złots of public including EU funds. The ultra-modern hydro-therapy facility was laucnehd with fanfare and pomp except there is one small snag. The "thermal" springs are none too thermal and the water has to be artifically heated at considerbale cost so the cure-takers don't freeze to death. You must've missed yet another failed PO project.

made feel guilty do not talk

You misread my post. The victim would not need to file a complaint or testify in court if this was made an ex-officio offence. Esp. in small communities such things are generally known also to social workers who could report their suspicion to the authorities who would investigate. If DNA proved positive the culprit would be tried, convicted, fined or jailed and, above all, shamed with large photos including his name.

Merged: Feminists and other lefties want pre-natal baby butchery "on demand"

A few hundred radical feminists, pro-homo agitators and other assorted lefties staged a noisy demonstration outside the Sejm to demand the "right" to kill unborn babies. They support a "Save Women" committee which has collected more than 215, 000 signatures under a pro-abortion bill which would allow pre-natal murder "on demand". But they were greatly outnumbered by the Poles who have signed a petition supporting a bill drafted by the "Stop Abortion" committee and backed by the Catholic Church, introducing a full ban on pregnancy terminations.

Under the bill, anyone who knowingly causes the death of an unborn child would face a prison term of between three months and five years.

Amnesty International, which should actually be called the "leftist-libetine rights group", has sent a letter to PM Beata Szydlo calling on the government to reject the the pro-life legislation.

prefer women

No, I think everyone would prefer for both women and men not to act like animals.
There should be greater penalties and sanctions against footloose daddies who father a child and split. Within the law-enforcement system perhaps a special unit for tracking such scumbags and then charging them for the tracking efforts, garnishing wages or stopping benefits if they are unemployed, not to mention jail time and/or public service. The portraits of such slime including child-maintenace shirkers with their full names should be published. Women should not bear the entire blame for such occurences. Re incest, social services should be able to alert prosecutors without requiring a complaint from the victimised female.

a 14-year-old girl is going

When a problem exists, it should be solved. If it was an offence prosecuted ex officio, then no private complaint would be needed. In small communities everybody knows everything about everybody else. Such inforamtion will reach local social services which can notify the prosecutor. With today's DNA testing culpability can be determeind nearly 100% of the time. The victim would not have to testify in court, and the convicted party should also have his photo and full name published for all the see. Shame is a great crime deterrent!

is most restrictive

Not restrictive but sensible. It allows abortion when the woman's life or health are in danger; when the foetus is severely damaged when pregnancy was the result of incest; and when it resutled from rape. It does not allow abortion on a whim, on request or on demand. The wholesale prenatal baby-butchery that goes on in libertinised countries is an absolute abomination. The people there really need to learn a bit about self-control. After all, they're not animals in heat are they?

You're assuming that all Petru and Schetyna lovers are unpatriotic selfish scumbags thinking only of the trough. Unless party vote discipline is enforced, some of those MPs migth rise to the occasion and show they too are decent Poles. The constitution definitely needs to be changed and de-ambiguised to prevent the kind of contradictory interpretation that now exists.
