Borrowed money. GDP can go the same way as Greece. Already the Poles are making excuses for the forthcoming year, where EU hand-outs will be limited.

News / Poles are getting rich... [63]

Good luck to those who have attained wealth through hard work, but in reality the majority of Polish elite are corrupt crooks whom amassed their wealth at the expense of good hard working class honest Poles.

There were those who managed to fraudulently obtain mass proportions of real estate, distributed amongst relatives when Poland came out of communism at chicken feed prices, who now are sitting pretty, the rest of the working class were left with zero.

Those same people run a monopolistic tight regime presently, and those trying to better themselves often come up against a brick wall of bureaucracy and threats.

Money talks, so if you,ve got it, you prosper, especially in Polish society. (money makes money). Unfortunately those who have,nt face a life of tormented hard labour and abuse.

As Seanus says, don,t believe in propaganda. Look at Polands unemployment stats and tell me how are Poles getting rich. Are we talking about the minority or majority ?

Law / The best job in the World - Polish farmer. [50]

There is two types of farmer in Poland, " the educated " and " the dunce ".

Educated, is someone who afforded to acquire vast amounts of land, employs others to do the donkey work and creams all he can from EU handouts.

Dunce farmer, is a badly educated bumpkin, who was left with a small-holding from commie days, works all the hours god sends, hasn,t a clue how to apply for any grants and sells his produce for a pittance because he hasn,t got any business acumen.

Life / The Polish Dream - move out from Poland as fast as possible [73]


Thus, change the politics and stop nepotism, equal rights, give the up-coming generation a fair chance.
From an experience of mine as I recall, I wanted an answer to a simple question regarding VAT at the local tax office. After doing the rounds in the nice open planned office, I finally gave up when I realized the staff were only good for answering the telephones, then I still have my reservations about that !

Life / Class system in Poland - does it exist? [90]

" Class system in Poland - does it exist? "
So people start posting about Gorales, Warsawians etc., Thats like comparing Cockneys, Scousers, Brummies and Geordies. What the hell has inter-city rivalry got to do with classes ?

Social classes are found throughout the whole country, whether you,re a Gorale, warsawian or Silesian. Each have their lower class people, middle class people and upper class people. Education plays no part in these classes either. Some less educated people have made it big, when the higher educated have failed.

Anyway, my personal opinion is that Poland has a very poor lower class who possess next to nothing, a very wealthy upper class who want for nothing ( except more wealth ), and in between are left too many variable classes.

Glad someone else can see the misgivings of the Polish government. I thought I was alone. Problem on this site though, is ..... whenever someone posts negative articles, the pro Polish martyrs jump down your throat.

Nice thread title may I add. The key word being " oppress ". Why do the Polish public let them get away with it. Could it be they still live in fear as when under Russian oppression ?

Was it better under Russian rule ? Has anything changed ?
Oppressed in the past by others, now oppressed by their own.

Wake up idiot, has the price of food gone down ? No, everythings gone up.


What success ?
The early promise shown by PO was on the foundations of work done by PIS, albeit that Kacszynski is unpopular. The fact they have done little since has led to the current decline. The cracks are beginning to show with embarrassment. All PO are doing is lie to cover up those cracks in order to obtain another term in office. Once, they do that, everything will rocket sky high. These politicians don,t give two hoots about the public, all they,re in it for is their own gains.


Give me yours to back the success of Tusk. " if you can't may i recommended that you shut your yapper and talk about things you know more about."

Yeh, Delph blowing hot air again.


Citizen of the world. I have my opinions just the same as everyone else, whether they like it or not.
I don,t regard myself pro or anti any political party, because they,re all the same. But I back the majority, the common people, who should have civil rights. Just because I may be better off than most, doesn,t mean I look down my nose at them, as if I had a feather up my arse.

Is there total democracy in Poland ? No. The government "say" and the people "do", that,s why I agree with Torq on this issue, that the people are oppressed, afraid to open their mouths and stand up for their rights.


Nice attitude. Hope you go bankrupt.

Ask anyone how employers abuse workers rights in Poland. Is that a joke ?

News / Donald Tusk's Government of Poland Continues to Oppress Poles [161]


From your point of view being an employer. So you have your issues too. Like I said, the failings need to be taken up with Brussels. Poland must comply with EU legislation in order to reach a happy medium. Unfortunately, Poland wants to be a member but do things their own stubborn way, hence the blame lies with the governing party. Have they the best interest of the people at heart ?

News / Donald Tusk's Government of Poland Continues to Oppress Poles [161]


Hang on. I will post my real name and address like all the other members on here.

Must have touched a nerve with you though, you still haven,t named any PO successes.


I don,t think this is the case, you are obviously a stalwart for PO, so biased with your opinions.
I am sitting on the fence and don,t care who is governing. The principle issue of being a party worthy of government, is to have a leader who is morally a good human being, hence doing what is best for people regardless of their political beliefs.

At the moment Poles are living in an elective dictatorship. I don,t regard this as democracy.
May I quote, " When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” ...... President Thomas Jefferson.

News / Donald Tusk's Government of Poland Continues to Oppress Poles [161]


That was thanks to EU funding. PO themselves have admitted they need the same levels given 2003-2013 from the next EU budget to maintain economic stability. I don,t think this will happen. Rostowski is saying Poland will meet the current requirements of the EU by 2012, then Tusk contradicts this when he says personally, that he doesn,t think the time limit is adequate to meet EUs criteria. Are these guys from the same party ?


Does the government take notice of what the electorate want ? No. They are amending bills regardless. ( to suit their own politics ).


Are you residing in Poland ? There is only a limited " freedom of speech ". Poles are still afraid to cross the line. Say the wrong thing and you wind up in court, ultimately prison.


Like I said, it doesn,t matter who governs, ( and I don,t know what manifestos they have ) but that the intentions are to serve the people, not the ruling party.

News / Donald Tusk's Government of Poland Continues to Oppress Poles [161]


Whether Poland rises or falls, doesn,t affect me personally. And I,m not " complaining ", simply putting my points of view across.
That,s what the forum is all about, the good and bad, the rights and wrongs. Good thread however. Interesting reading others views and helps pass some time. Logging off now, but will be back later. Nice debating with you again btw. *goes to find out how to start ones party* LOL.

News / Donald Tusk's Government of Poland Continues to Oppress Poles [161]


Is it ?
Then why does it happen in PL. ?
The minute someone offends someone else ( normally politicians ), they face court action. If I was to have a conversation with someone in public and was to be overheard expressing my opinions on, for example, a minister, I could officially be cited.

In the UK I could air my misgivings on Cameron, Clegg or Brown, and no one gives a 5hit.
The primary word in this argument is " opinion ", to which everybody has a right, to their own opinion. Get it ?
No conspiracy theory about it. If the Polish public can,t freely express what they feel, then who,s running the show ?


Are we talking party politics and the next election here ? I thought the topic was on the current gov. oppression.
BTW who had more media coverage in the past 4 years ?
Want to talk percentages ?

There,s other sources, and not controlled by any one particular party, but these were the most simple to understand. Why should I bother listing any others, let hague find them himself ( if he,s got the time ).


Not what the papers say, perhaps they,re in the hands of PIS also.
Stop clutching at straws, facts are facts regardless of who is publicizing them.
You post substance to back up your arguments, no doubt the source is PO backed, so the prattle goes on and on ...... and the debate gets childish.

God help Poland.............. Lets get it right, the crooks are happy, not the people. All the best assets have been sold, so what has Poland got left ?

"Not alot"...... as Ken Dodd once said.

Exactly. That,s what propped up the Polish economy. Now what,s left to sell in order to fill the holes (deficit) ?
Like I said, " time will tell ".


I already have. lol.


Holding hands with delph, .... that,s pathetic !

Politics is a viscious circle, the reccessions and the booms. It,s easy to create the "good times", by borrowing, just as in ones personal life. But then you have to pay back what you owe and subsequently come the "hard times".

This is no more than is happening currently in Poland. Do you think PO will be around when times get hard ?
No. Someone else will be left to carry the can, while the opposition sit in the background blaming the "then current situation", on the ruling party.

This is the political norm, that happens in The States, UK, and the world over.

I,m somewhat surprised by your ignorance, as Australian governance quite impresses me, but your views on Poland don,t seem to equate to your adopted homeland. Are you happy in Oz ?

Possibly PO backed article, nevertheless what,s interesting is the comments from the public. Over 700 and rising, take some time to read some, such as "TOTALNA BZDURA".

This is called success propaganda. And if people like you fall for it, then more the fool you.

News / Donald Tusk's Government of Poland Continues to Oppress Poles [161]


I,m constantly giving you substance to back up my end of the debate (argument ? I,m not arguing), when you give me nothing but abuse, and clearly your own pro PO opinions.

It seems that one of Mr Tusk's biggest problems today is that the expectation bar had been set quite high for the PO-PSL coalition. This is somewhat similar to the way it was for the Obama administration, keeping all proportions in mind. Mr Tusk and his party had always talked bold reform. They claimed they had experts who could in very little time transform Poland into a cheaply-run super-efficient state.

But reality proved all this to be largely baseless campaign rhetoric. PO didn't really have any brilliant ideas nor did they have many top-notch experts in their party. What is interesting, and probably the reason why so many people seem disappointed in Mr Tusk's government, is that many Poles actually believed his party's promises and pinned their hopes for a much more modern and efficient Poland on PO.

They bought all that campaign rhetoric hook, line and sinker and now feel a bit silly for having done so. Donald Tusk's biggest problem today is that he has lost credibility in the eyes of many people who voted for him in 2007. In his seemingly sincere and convincing manner, he promised so much yet delivered only a little. So many people simply don't trust the PM's words anymore.

This will be his biggest obstacle going into the autumn parliamentary elections. How does he regain the trust of voters? How is he going to convince people that this time, he will do much more than just make promises? It won't be easy. Next week, on the pages of the same daily, the PM is supposed to write an article on his vision and plans for Poland's future if he is reelected to office. Let's see if people will buy it this time around.


So you obviously regard youself as an elitist, where your opinion counts and nobody elses matters.


And still you continue with this sort of nonsense. Get a life !!!!!
