Law / Polish inheritance law in Canada [37]

most probably Monika Serocka tried to overrule the will and gain part in the inheritance - I am not a lawyer so I can't tell you with any certainty but such things happen quite often - she must be then a close relative of Kazimierz Kmieciak (a daughter?)

Law / Polish inheritance law in Canada [37]

Does it also say that the matter was closed September 2014?

it precisely says that the will was opened and proclaimed in September 2014 - it doesn't specifically claim that case is closed though it states that the inheritance is granted in full to I.K. Puton based on the will - you could try to annul the will but the chances of success are slim I guess

News / The Mayor of Warsaw Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz cuts down 150,000 trees in the Poland's capital. [84]

allowing the law to be abused in a reckless and unnecessary felling of trees some as old as 200 years old seems quite frankly criminal.

the law clearly stated that without permission you can remove only trees that were no more than 20cm in diameter on the height of about 1.5 m - if someone fell an old big tree then they did it illegally - the problem might be underreporting of such criminal acts - as for fruit trees you could always cut them down at your whim

Gazeta Wyborcza is far more trustworthy than any organ of the PiSlamic State, as Poles will tell you.

I'm a Pole, and I remember some Wyborcza lies even though I don't read it (reported by media with integrity) - like "Tak lądują debeściaki" claim

History / Polish hero discovers Jewish roots [25]

I'd say a very large portion of the population has some Jewish roots that they mostly don't know about (conversions and intermarriage, in some order, generations ago).

intermariage was not so big until the late 19th and early 20th century - Jews simply kept to themselves - which was helped by the fact that they spoke a different language amongst themselves

Work / South African wants to move to Poland, please provide some input? [59]

How are the Poles to White South Africans

Poles don't hold any prejudices towards White South Africans

the employment issue may be a problem for you - the easiest but not economically rewarding solution is to find a job teaching English - if you are an IT professsional there is a good chance of finding a job in international companies operating in Poland - wait for other suggestions some other user may have -

- I am not sure PZU and PFR have the controlling share of Pekao - PZU first bought 10 per cent of its shares and now 20 per cent while PFR has about 12 per cent - anyway PZU is run by professionals not by political apointees

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

well consider this - I would use a quote because i'm lazy : "17 years ago the Polish government sold the Italian company 52 percent. Bank Pekao SA's share of the proceeds from the public money, PLN 3.4 billion. For those 17 years, only the dividends from the bank's business were Italian 24 billion; Other profits here are not taken into account, because it is difficult to estimate. And now they have sold the Polish government 33 percent. For 10.5 billion" - do you still think Polish privatization was clean?

We already know that they offered a huge offset deal, which was much better than anyone else could offer

I for once know that the offset was supposed to be painting those helicopters in Łódź - I wouldn't call it huge

public prosecutor

as far as I know Prokurator Generalny cannot initiate investigations and as such is not really a prosecutor

You can count to 38 million?

do you claim that all Poles don't trust Ziobro - that's quite a claim you know - and again I trust Ziobro - so your claim is false

He's also frowned upon by those who believe the constitution of Poland should be respected and obeyed.

Harry - which article of the constitution was broken?

I don't trust any of Ziobro's political show trials either. Nor does anyone

I do trust Ziobro - that makes your statement false

@cms

I haven't read the report itself I just rely on other internet sources mentioning it - it was a multinational report according to Wyborcza - it's not my fault that the report is missing on EuropeanComission websites (if it is indeed missing)

It would make little sense to export profits - France, Germany, Italy and Holland

you never heard of Luxleaks scandal - the leaked documents state that Poland (among many other countries) loses 10 billion euro in taxes because companies transfer income to their Luxembourg seats or branches where they pay preferential rates of tax (like 3 per cent) - read more man

it's not only Luxembourg that allows corporations to evade tax - as you would probably believe Wyborcza here's some wyborcza for you -

The government has direct control over national broadcasters having the power to appoint and dismiss heads of radio and tv stations

the government had complete control of the public broadcasters when PO-PSl were in power as well - PO-PSL good, PiS no good?

State agencies have been ordered to cancel their subscriptions to publications which are crticial of the government.

where is it an obligation for the state to get subscrription of the press critical to a given government - were PO-PSL government any better in this field?

if the government should not have any hand, act or part in the press it should not subscribe any press - agreed?

where do you see silencing of the press in Poland? give examples please

Speaking of newspapers I see that Poland has fallen seven places in the global freedom of the press index and now occupies position number 54 lagging behind Tonga, Burkina Faso and Haiti amongst others!

how do you think press is being limited in Poland Atch?

I still think having 20% of disqualified votes on a 50% turnout was terrible for democracy.

you want 5 or 7 parties' goverments like it;s goind to happen in Holland now?

Either way, it means that right-wing politics are down about 8% based on seats from the last election

we will find out on the election day

Or in coalition terms - PiS+Kukiz'15 on 229, PO+SLD+N+MN on 231.

You don't mind me reminding you that you predicted before the last election that PiS had no chance on governing alone?

He keeps terrible company with JKM

what do you mean by company with JKM - he used to be UPR spokesman (the JKM party) but it was long ago - their ways parted since then - nationalism is all well and kicking -and in the place you wouldn't expect it to be - look here - //gloria.tv/video/FdbJNuUJFcj24qyR7foQhKTGZ]
