History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

Coming back to PiS in modern times.

Did you know that during the first PIS government 2006 -2007 they took Andrzej Kryże, another communist judge, to work in PiS Ministry of Justice? He was stubbornly promoted by PIS Minister of Justice. As a communist judge, he had senteced famous opposition activists to detention or imprisonment in 1979-1980.

After this demonstration celebrating the Independence Day on 11 November 1979, Kryże sentenced Bronisław Komorowski and Andrzej Czuma, in the photo, for claiming that communist Poland wasn`t a sovereign country and offending the Polish nation.

Law / New technical certificate for motorcycle in Poland [2]

Your problem is a bit unclear. You mean annual technical inspection of a registered vehicle or its fist registration?

News / What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]

Today some Belarussians

When Poland entered EU and NATO it was one world. Now is different. T

Yes. Belarussians didn˛t take their chance to make a resolute decision about joining the Euro structures in 1990s. Poland did and now we can gather what we sowed.

Today, the EU has to solve other problems than worry about Belarus and their European aspirations.

That is why the prognosis is negative - they will have to stay with Russia for the next decades and nothing will change. Leaders might change but the political and economic situation won`t. Especially economy - it will deteriorate even further coz nobody will venture to introduce necessary reforms and even when they try, they will be blocked by the post-Soviet establishment.

All in all, Poland will surely benefit from Belarussian emigration - they are decent people who will work hard and integrate well.

So, they wait to see what happens next.

Yes, that is why I said: What for?

Your premise is somehow muddled.

of course not. Didn`t I say clearly in my first post?: It is funny coz one of PiS` main ideas is to deprive ex-communists of their mythical power in Poland

I see you again read every third post in new threads, hence you have no idea what we are really talking about. In result, you make a fool of yourself as usual. You have lost again. hahaha

I just hate commies and Nazis,

Good, but give up that hatred. It is unchristian and primarily hurts you, not your adversaries. Besides, you gradually become like them through your poisoned emotions.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

And I told you I am not interested in PIS

Yes, you are coz you openly supported their politics many times here and rejoiced when they won elections. So, yes, the truth is, you were happy when a few ex-commie renegades came or returned to power thanks to PiS.

Ha!

No, it is PiS neobolsheviks who want to erase that history of their collaboration. As I said, that info is easily available. However, I noticed that certain official sites prefer to skip those embarrassing afiliations. Funny.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

while you were still eating the lukewarm bigos down the Polish club

yes, and that was his main anti-communist activity in the West - go to a Polish club and devour bigos or pierogis. hahaha

Dolno, tell us a few facts how you and your family supported anti-communist opposition in Poland in 1970s and 1980s??? A lot of people in the West did it.

Or maybe don`t, why should we read more lies from you. We have already been fed up with those tall stories about your suffering.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

A lot of top PiS politicians were involved in pro-regime activities during communist times 1945- 1989.

The span 1945-1989 doesn`t only apply to PiS and modern politics. We can dig up some deeper bonds.

Did you know that pre-war far-right and nationalist leader became a main collaborationist after 1945?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boles%C5%82aw_Piasecki

In interwar Poland he became the leader of the illegal, extreme right faction ONR-Falanga. This organisation advocated "Catholic totalitarianism" and is considered by many to have been a fascist movement. ........he was arrested by the Soviet NKVD, and in a drastic conversion from his previous stance began to cooperate with the Communist government in Poland. After the war, in 1945, he cofounded and directed a so-called social progressive movement of lay Catholics.....

His main task which he discussed and agreed upon with communists was to diminish the influence of Catholic Church in Poland and eventually get rid of it altogether. He failed but still lived long enough to see how Wojtyła became the Pope in 1978.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

And infamous Piotrowicz at last, in 1980s he was a communist prosecutor who accused and put in prison pro-democratic oppositionists. He was also a party member since 1978.

Can you imagine he had an official appraisal by his superiors in 1984, right after the martial law, and they praised his engagement, efficiency and determination to work for the communist motherland???

In 2019, he was nominated by PIS as a judge to the Constitutional Tribunal. Before that, he had worked as a PiS member of parliament for many years.

Photos: anticommunist opposition in prison and in court in 1980s.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

hahaha funny. And true.

Krystyna Pawłowicz`s request for permission to travel to Belgium in 1976. At the bottom, her affiliation with the socialist organisation - she was the head of the students` peer tribunal at the university.

I am not showing anything new, all this info is widely available.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

ad that you are probably feeding your students with this kind of rubbish and lies ,

Not in regular English class coz we have to work according to the curriculum and prepare to final exams. But we talk about it in private conversations.

ALL old PRL Commies should be banged up...

You are in deep shock. Wait for more. hahaha

Thanks to her membership, she was allowed to travel to the West.

Being a member of the party or another regime organisation made such travels easier. Permission to visit the rotten West was one of the perks that communists offered people in 1970s for their support for the communist motherland.

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

During her studies in late 1970s she was a member of the Socialist Association of Polish Students.

The same with Krystyna Pawłowicz, another judge of the Constitutional Tribunal since 5 December 2019, nominated by PiS. She was a member of the socialist organisation in 1970s.

and blame it all on someone else lol.

I am offering you facts. Usually, you are quite relentless about people who collaborated with communists, claiming they had deprived your family of a normal life in Poland etc.

Why are you so lenient now in case of rightists` dubious past, tarred with collaboration?

I don`t get your double standard now.

with this kind of rubbish and lies ,

I pity you now - it must be a terrible shock. You need to live with it - the knowledge your fav rightists once collaborated willingly with the regime as they had personal gains from it.

I was also offered to join the organisation but turned it down .

The second congress of the socialist students` organisation in 1977 was taking place with such a title: OUR HEARTS, MINDS AND WORK - FOR MOTHERLAND AND PARTY. hahaha

And the conclusion they reached at the end: we have to engage students into the implementation of the tasks and programme of the Workers` Party.

What have people's parents got to do with it ?

I was waiting for such a question and am ready to answer it.

reason No 1 - some rightard posters here love digging up other members` family background. That info about communist parents is also for them.

reason No 2 - a lot of rightards from PiS and other in their media love digging up their opponents` family background. That info about communist parents is also for them.

Do you understand now that I wanted some people to feel good, in their favourite familiar environment??? hahaha

Jarosław Kaczyński is simply another incarnation of Uncle Joe Stalin - it makes things clear, no?

You are paranoid. hahaha

History / Poland rightwingers` bonds with PRL communist regime [191]

A lot of top PiS politicians were involved in pro-regime activities during communist times 1945- 1989. Also, a lot of them come from families who had very friendly ties with communists.

It is funny coz one of PiS` main ideas is to deprive ex-communists of their mythical power in Poland. How can it be done if PiS promotes ex- or pro-communists in their own ranks?

Let`s have a look at them one by one.

Julia Przyłębska, lawyer and judge, President of the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland since December 2016, nominated by PiS. During her studies in late 1970s she was a member of the Socialist Association of Polish Students. Thanks to her membership, she was allowed to travel to the West.

Her father was a merited member of the communist party.

The organisation`s red banner with communist eagle. Next, socialist students march in 1 May parade dressed in red ties. hahahaha

Language / Game - guess Polish idioms/sayings in direct English translation [1756]

No, I just like them...

Yes, they are sturdy and when, being stoned and unconscious, you drop one onto the floor the chance is it won`t break. Also, you can throw it at your spouse during marrital rows and they will also survive.

zamknięcie drzwi stodoły ?

Shut the stable door after the horse has bolted - to be late in taking action to prevent something bad happening. You probably got association from Polish:mustard after lunch/dinner. However, the Polish saying doesn`t always imply sth bad happening - it only stresses a late appearance.

What about this?:
to cover sb with a cap.

and another one from the series I am watching: to trod/trample on sb`s heels.

Law / How to acquire Polish citizenship through marriage as an American? More info in the post. [18]

but you say no.

Some forum members are only able to say no. That poster called ironside is one of them. You should be careful with those wolves in sheep clothing.

''Have lived without interruptions for at least 3 years in Poland

Yes, exactly. Mind the Present Perfect Tense used here - do you know English grammar? In your quoted sentence this tense means that an action has taken place until now - so, the past must be connected with the present.

Your being away from Poland for one year broke that connection. You need to start your 3 years stay in Poland anew.

I am really sorry.

PS. You have been helped by an kind Polish teacher.

Work / English school or beauty salon in Poland? Business option [16]

Do you speak Polish? If you don't, a salon is out of the question.

This person doesn`t need to speak Polish to run a business - he or she may hire Polish workers who speak English well. Also, for tax and legal issues, he or she can find English speaking accountants and lawyers. Anything is possible if one is determined and ambitious. I met such Poles in the USA once.
