Poland's post-election political scene [4080]
Known among those-in-the-know as Operation Full Kurwa
Anyway, ze audit is done, here's some other info not included in the previous post that came later.
Healthcare ministry:
- The healthcare system's digitalisation programme was completely unusable and had to be 'salvaged' when the new gubmint took office.
- The total public hospital debt at the end of the previous year amount to 14 bln PLN.
- Polant currently holds the respectable 34th (out of 35) place in the prestigious European Health Index, beating only Montenegro, and falling behind Albania and Romania.
Environment ministry:
- The s19 route (part of Via Carpatia going from Slovakia to Belarus completely through Polant) was supposed to be finished by 2014. It was not constructed and instead was wiped from any future development plans.
- Due to massive neglections in the Białowieża National Park, there are now 4 mln m3 of rotten wood lying around there, and Polant is risking huge fines from the EU.
- The previous gubmint allowed for an uncontrollable selling of land to foreigners.
Ministry of justice:
- Back in the day, 1100 people would be sentenced to electronic monitoring. The previous gubmint reduced that number to 4.
- 70% of convicts do not work.
Ministry of the interior:
- During its 8 years in office, the government dissolved more than half the total number of police stations for no apparent reason.
- Two border guard detachments in the south were dissolved despite the current immigration crisis.
- For 8 years, the gubmint was not able to guarantee Frontex [EU institution for border control] a permanent HQ in Poland.
- Police would often remand hundreds of people opposed to the government, such as football fans, into custody and show off the numbers to the public. Except afterwards the people would all be found not guilty by courts and released.
Ministry of defence:
- The Polish forces were concentrated along the western border, reinforced even by garrisons from the east. Just as if the threat to Poland was to come from the west, not the east.
- "Europe will not see any war caused by russia" - this was claimed 2 months before the Russian aggression against Ukraine by the ministry analysts.
- The minister of foreign affairs in the previous government even claimed that one day Russia will be a member of NATO.
- The need, necessitated by law, to spend 2% of GDP on the army was dodged all the time and instead bounced between 1.7% and 1.9%.
- None of the armed forces development programs was ever finished. 50 bln PLN was spent on them in total. None of the modernisation programs were realised in full as well.
- Tank technical documentation was not supplied when signing contracts for buying them.
- 1.1 bln PLN was spent to buy a modern mortar system, but ammo for it was skipped.
- The government refused to let Polish soldiers participate when the Ukrainian army was training with US soldiers because they thought it would anger Russia.
- Poland's ability to mobilise army reserves is one of the lowest in Europe due to a badly performed professionalisation of the army.
- The gubmint got rid of a low-altitude airspace violation detection system.
- No action was taken to determine who came into illegal possession of 10000 phone numbers of defence sector workers.
- Long-lasting ex-commie counterintelligence officers were put in high army echelons. The careers of many ex-commie army and counterintelligence officers were also supported for no apparent reason.
- Despite having its own qualified force for IT support, the army kept outsourcing it to outside companies.
- The ministry was signing long-reaching contracts with people from the political environments of various ministers without making any documentation that would actually detail their duties to the ministry.
- The ministry had a stock of 30k periodic tables that it had gathered for no apparent reason.
