Funny, none of the extravagance of the Tusks, Komorowskis, Sikorskis, Rostowskis et all was ever raised let alone criticised by those now fulmianting at the mouth over everything Poland's first government democratically elected outright does.

separation of church and state

There is no separation of church and state in Poland. That reeks of frog-style laïcité. The church and state in Poland, according to the constitution, are sovereign in their respective areas and cooperate for the good of the nation.

spontaneously abort

If you mean accidental miscarriage, then it's not murder, But if a woman purposely does things to miscarry, jumps off a high stool, soaks in an extra-hot bath, punches herself in the abdomen, etc., then she is a murderess pure and simple.

abortion rights

The "rights" label can be attached to anything and everything from gun rights to Jew-killing rights. Anyway. the pro-abortionist femi-fascists were up to their old tricks on Sunday brandishing disgusting slogans about their uterus (they can keep it!), demadning the "right" to butcher their inborn babies and ranting abuse against anyone who dared disagree. They even disrutped Holy Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday. No scruples, no class, no decorum!

traitors got away

Know how to extradite them? Israel never allows a Jews to be extradited. How about other countries. There would have to be an official Polish government campaign to name, charge and attempt to extradite the crooks -- a highly unlikely course of events.

C! Aka as the 11th Commandment: Nie zawracaj głowy bliźniemu swemu!

"pro-Polish"

We all know that KODerats and paederasts are like two peas in a pod -- they twist everthing to support their aberration. Don't tell me -- to you pro-Polish means tax breaks and incenrtives for foreign interest groups, cut-rates and easy de-agriculturisation of Polish on farmland for foreign developers, plunitive taxes, extra redtape and other disincentives for anything indigenously Polish. Now we all know why you love PO so much, They've been doing precisely that for 8 years!

abandoned red

No more than 1% of Poles were committed Marxists. Or to rehash an old chestnut: PRL was a 100% Marxist country: 10% Karl and 90% Groucho. They were nearly all opportunists, highly susceptible to corruption and outright theft.

PiS

Mention should also be made of the pro-Polish policy to reranimate Polish industry, protect farmland from greedy foreign developers, re-polonise banking, not to mention the cultural front. Public TV have restored the popular programmes Pegaz and Sonda, and TVP Historia is finally showing documentaries censored by the Tusk gang. Does anyone know how many billions of zł or € foreign bankers and retailers have siphoned out of Polands' economy during the misrule of the PO regime? If PiS had balls they'd put those responsible on trial and make PO pay Poland what they let foreignerrs rob her of.

oppose PiS

PiS have been in office only 5 months and have already left an impressive legacy of pro-Polish legislation including an anti-terrorist law now under way, pro-family 500+, undoing some of the PO's idiotic laws like gendermania and pseudo-judicial reforms, not to mention the horrrendous results of the audits. PO had 8 years to show what they could do and they botched the motorway construction programme ahead of Euro 2012 and created a scam-friendly climate serving swindlers and pro-foreign-interest stooges.

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality

A rhetoricaa question but rooted in sophsitry. We all know and aspire to high-sounding principles, but only fools naively believe they are regularly adhered to.

They say everyone has their price. Not necessarily a m onetary one. Give you a good example. The wife of one of the fugitive "S" leaders during martial law said when she was questioned by the SB the officer told her: You have a 9-year-old daughter, dont' you? And she walks to school every day? Have you any idea how many accidents can occur along the way?

She didn't reveal her hubby's whereabouts, but how many mothers would be that heroic? That too is a price.

The bottom line is: an intelligent person should not uncritically accept slogans, buzzwords and high-soundign rhetoric without analysing what underlies them, who is spouting them and why.

communist

You appear to beleive that all people are either communists or foreign-serving stooges! There are many other categories inlcuding true patriots who put the good of the Polish nation above all else.

I emphasise the concept of "nation", unlike you libbies, lefties and commies who prefer to invoke the amorphous and ambiguous concept "society".

best years

Some people are now enjoying their best years thanks to hefty clandestine gratuities from the underground CPGB. Liaising in Poland B near the Belarusian border. Sound familiar?

best years

U.K., the U.S

It doesn't. In totalitarian systems politics reigns supreme and political considerations underline many trials. In capitlaism money is the overrding concern. There is no way of correcting or counteracting something so widedspread save for appointing an overseer for each judge. And even then how would anyone know whether the judge didn't offer the overseer a proposal he could not turn down.

Judicial impartiality, objectivity, fairness, legality, etc. all sound very nice, but...who pays the piper calls the tune!

the scales of justice massively weighted

Since time immemorial the judicial scales have always favoured the rich and mighty as well as those currently in power. Machiavelli was the first to codify it. I don't beleive you're naive enough to think some poor bloke with a court-appointed defence councillor stands and equal chance with some influential VIP with a pricey big-city lawyer.

Poznań called os. 40-lecia PRL

I always thought Poznań were a bunch of idiots. The 1956 Bread & Freedom protest was about the only thing they ever did right. OK, also the Wielkopolska Insurrection. All those who voted for PRL should get a one-way ticket to Belarus where they'll feel right at home.

buy Autosan buses

Precisely. That is what PM Szydło calls "economic patriotism". Support your own, create jobs and keep the money in Poland. Now if there were only chains of Polish-owned retail shops to spend ti at, supermarkets that could rival Auchan, Carrefour, Tesco, Leroy, Praktiker, Biedronka, Castorama, Leclerc, Kaufland, etc., etc. I trust Morawiecki will find a way to recitfy that deficiency. 60% of Poland's banks in foreign hands is totally unacceptable. Even the Czechs are better off. Capital DOES have a nationality! In case of an emergency, having little control over one's coutnry's fiannces is hardly a promsing prospect. The foreign banks not only fleeced the Polish public with their usurous loans but, to make matters worse, channelled most of their profits abroad.

The only losers are the agents of influence and other stooges of foreign interest groups who once got hefty kickbacks for their underhanded activities at Poland's expense. No wonder they're marching, chanting and ranting from fear of the PiS broom that is sweeping their perks and privileges away.

with the neo-Communist agenda

Leave your ivory tower. No more than a miniscule pergentage of Poles view PiS' agenda as neo-commuist. That may speak to embittered and resenrful left-winger eggheads but not to the bulk of the Polish nation who view the PiS government as being first and foremost pro-Polish to the core.

PO

Jacek Nizinkiewicz writes in "Uważam rze" that no political formation has held onto power as long as PO/PSL and none has made as many unfulfilled promises. It's time to hold them to account, he urges.

Audits carried out to date have found serious irregularities in the coalition's wake, including the defence ministry and the Kormorowski chancellery.

PO

PiS moves ahead cleaning up the mess left behind by PO/PSL including many legislative duds which need to be rescincded. Most recently President Duda signed into law a bill undoing the former government's 2015 judicial "reform". According to it, the judge was made an arbiter between the defence and prosecution. The new law reverts to the previous state, whereby the court bears the brunt of evidence and questions witnesses. Too bad PO/PSL never heard to good ol' American saying: If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

cleaning up

The PiS-led clean-up also involves vestiges of the PRL regime sullying Poland's public space. The Senate has adopted a draft amendment to the law prohibiting the promotion of communism and other totalitarian ideologies. The amendment would ban naming buildings, public facilities, roads, streets, bridges and squares in honor of people, organizations, events or dates symbolizing communism or any other totalitarian system naming. Local authorities would have 12 months to carry it out. Although 27 years have elapsed since the fall of communism, there are still plenty of streets honouring the People's Guard, communist heroes (Finder, Hibner, Kostrzewa, etc.) or July 22nd, the start of the 1944 Soviet take-over.

Solaris could have done with

Why didn't PO assist Solaris more generously. But they are Polish Catholic holdings. That's why PiS can be called the most pro-Polish party in the Sejm. The others were leaning over backwards and constantly catering to foreign interest groups for the under-the-table kickbacks which you somehow never criticised.

Especially regions like Sanok that lost a single major employer should be focused on with a view to reanimatitng wherever feasible any potential industrial faclities that got Balcerised.

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4500]

ROJ:

RÓJ: this is Polish word for swarm (of bees, hornets, wasps and other flying insects). The accent over the letter "ó" (like the oo in English pool) causes it to be pronounced like rooy.

STELMACH: Indeed, this is the German word for wheelwright,but since technical things came to Poland from the West, it is widely used as a surname in Poland. There is also a Polish native equivalent: kołodziej.

unwanted babies

Unwanted babiesIn the midst of a severe demographic crisis? There is a huge demand for babies on the part of married couples unable to procreate naturally and you want them chopped up to bits!?

now bringing it up

I haven't the foggiest. This has laways been the Church's positon but I agree that from a Realpolitik point of view it migth not be the most judicious thing to raise it at this point in time.

Re rape, if there was mandatory chemical castration for every convicted rapist plus obligatory child maintenance garnished from his wages or pension, that should greatly reduce the problem.

stop listening to PiS

Au contraire, in fact it behooves one to stop, listen and see all the good changes taking place under the PiS administration. Pro-Polishness is their hallmark.

Previous governments had which eagerly sold off Poland's industrial assets to outside capital for a song and provided excessive tax breaks and other incentives to foreign investors. By contrast, the current Law and Justice administration has launched a program to salvage and expand Poland's indsutry. Recently the Autosan bus factory in Sanok, which had once been Europe's largest, was purchased by a consortium belonging to the PGZ Polish Armaments Group. "Let us save the companies and plants that had been Poland's pride and develop news ones as well. Saving this enterprise will mahe it possible to develop this region and build a Polish brand," Prime minister Beata Szydło said at the signing ceremony.

Claiming that banks are like any other business and that capital is devoid of nationality, previous governments had sold them off to foreign investors and allowed foreign bankers to dominate Poland's lending market, but the current government hopes to reverse this trend. Recently, Poland's largest insurance company PZU purchased Alior Bank, originally set up by a group of Italian investors in 2008. Whether this marks the start of a new trend and whether more Polish investors enter the banking field remains to be seen.

In April, the government launched its landmark 500+ program designed to counteract Poland's ongoing demographic crisis. At present, Poland has an abysmally low birth rate of 1.3 children per family. Doomsday predictions claim Poland my drop from its current 38 to 25 million within this century. But in England and Wales, known for the generous child-care benefits, Polish women on average give birth to 2.13 children. Under 500+, a monthly allowance of 500 złotys ($127) is provided for a family's second and subsequent children. Extremely poor families are entitled to that benefit for their first-born as well.

The Polish Sejm (lower house) has passed a bill which will make it more difficult for foreigners to acquire Polish agricultural acreage. Under the measure, state-owned farmland can be bought solely by registered farmers or local residents personally able to farm 300 hectares (750 acres). "We want to protect Polish land and stand up for farmers' rights," Deputy Agriculture Minister Zbigniew Babalski told the Sejm prior to the vote. Although a 12-year moratorium banning the sale of farmland to foreigners had been in effect, non-Polish developers have bribed Polish "strawmen" to help them to acquire some 200,000 hectares (half a million acres) of land in recent years.

Maybe the prescription route will serve as a derterrent to wanton orgiastic partying. That is not what any decent person would want to encourage or promote.

tightening the law

The compromise law now in place allows abortions in such cases as danger to woman's health and life, seriously deformed foetus, pregnancy resulting from incest and rape. I think it should be maitnained. But I would favour tightening and vigorously enforcing penalties for illegal backroom abortionists and the owners of abortion mills. Also no abortions for minors udner 18 without parental consent.

The morning-after abortion pill is highly toxic especially to juveniles and can cause permanent sterility and other health issues. It should therefore be available only by prescription.
