News / Coal-Powered Poland Refuses to "Go Green". EU Ain't Happy. [304]

Polish coal dust (miał) is more expensive than proper coal from Russia... Our coal is simply burried too deep. It is good as a emergency measure but economically it's crap

So few new developments on the campaign.

PiS wanted to pass a resolution in parliment condemning the actions of protesters on Duda's meetings. Apparently there is a video when Kidawa- Blońska talks to some of the protesters. That makes it look a bit as she was part of it- not the smartest move IMO.

A message was posted on Twitter of a women hugging the president and staring lovingly into his eyes. She wrote something how she managed to kiss him on the neck few times..At first PiS tried to blame it on opposition as well but it turns out that women was posting stuff like that for years. Now some people are asking how a plike that could gain access to the president.

I don't want to remove them or replace them- I want people to believe in what they want and keep me, my family and the state out of it Simple as.

To believers. But one can share the same values without believing in God Simple as that.

Simply that I think you are very, very wrong by saying that one cannot believe in values like freedom without believing in god One has nothing to do with the other.

It's quite annoying when people believing in god keep saying things like that simply because the religion is the center of their system and they cannit imagine someone can come to the same point without it.

Bosak's wedding made a bit of 'szum' in the press, mostly the gossip one of course. Comments are divided onto those that wish to see him in Belvedere and thosewho make fun of a cover marriage...

I completely forgot he took part in 'Dancing with the stars'....

Sadly the debates in Poland suck. Most of the time they are non issue. A bit of air time and that is it.

So breaking the law is fine as long as it's in the name of the right ideology? Good to know.
Thankfully it seems Poles don't agree with you

Clearly we all have to bow to your superior knowledge of the Polish legal system and actions taken by both sides of the conflict...
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have a better luck with your rumbling on the off-topic threads that you love so much

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

Exactly- so why comment on an issue you don't know anything about and don't want to find out?

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]


Not at the last minute. They were appointed according to the schedule. There were others rushed (that's where PO tried to play dirty) but it wasn't about them. Plus- it had nothing to do with the reform. So either you mix different issues or your post doesn't make sense.

And I think you missed when I posted showing a poll (I know how you love them) when majority sided with Supreme Court not the government...

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

One can reform different aspects and in different ways.
And Maf was talking about issues not connected to the latest bill. Try to keep up if you want to post with such authority. But let's be honest- you just want to repeat your slogans and catch phrases and not really follow Polish issues

It's not about explaining but about belief. Personally I don't believe in any intervention and scarily I'm on Rich's side.


And that is actually very offensive to any patriotic Pole that is not Christian.

@Mad
I think Hungarian would be my choosing from the ones listed ( after Polish of course :P ). Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Have to make myself some Leczo :)

Is that why they stopped the judge who wanted to look at them from doing so and suspended him ?
There of course is the possibility that those lists are ok but how PiS is going around it suggests otherwise. Not to mention that it sets a dangerous precedence. Think if the worst party you can imagine gets the power and uses the same tactic? Would you be happy with that?

News / Dodgy PRL-holdover judiciary finally reformed [420]

A newspaper had to dig them out and you see nothing wrong with that for example? We are not talking about a state secret. It should be freely available to anyone who want to see them.

As to the judges I think the topic was discussed mamy times. PO played dirty and then PiS instead of just correcting it played even dirtier.

As with the Supreme Court it seem most Poles support the SC with over 50%

They have to if the government is braking the law. The government cannot do certain things. And as I shown part of judging such bills falls under the Supreme Court prerogative.

All candidates are in the first round. Now if any candidate gets over 50% there is only one (happened only once so far). Otherwise 2 candidates with the best score go to a second round and the winnner becomes the president

Sąd Najwyższy działa na podstawie Konstytucji Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej i ustawy o Sądzie Najwyższym[1]. Nie należy on do sądownictwa powszechnego

Jest on powołany do:
6 opiniowania ustaw i innych aktów normatywnych na podstawie których orzekają i funkcjonują sądy, a także innych ustaw w zakresie, w jakim uzna to za celowe;

Rough summary- The Supreme Court is funded to judge acts and bills that impact the way courts are functioning

I'm not saying he is a bad person, not intelligent or anything like that (even if too conservative for my taste) just simply that he was completely uninteresting and easy to forget.


Yyy, wouldn't say so...

No, that is rule of law. That is what those institutions have been set up to do. And it's their job to rule whether something was legal or not! There's been many, many times when acts/bills were rulled unlawful.

Sorry Torq but Kamysz is too bland and lacks any charisma IMO to compete properly. The description looks lovely but the man himself is... boring. At least that's the impression I got from an interview.

The most likely outcome is Duda vs Kidawa- Błońska in second round

Wow- when and how did that happen?
