News / Presidential elections 2020 - your opinions about campaign, candidates [2223]

But PiS had almost nothing to do with the boom -

Yes and Orban had nothing to do with Hungary economic boom, while liberal germany and france stagnates.. rightio! (eyeroll) 500+, R&D , state support of critical industries, cutting red tape, No PIT for under 26, encouraging Poles to re-emigrate (hey it worked for PolamKrakow!), cutting down on the nepotism and corruption - all added to GDP> But yes its all the vagaries of the market.. lolzo

I am laughing about how he will respond.

He will say, Oh thats just Merkels impotent puppets at the Eu Commission, if you spend 5 minutes thinking about them its five minutes too much..

tarcze have gotten almost nothing to small businesses

Small businessmen were a key part of the PiS vote in 2015 and 2019

Which is it? You PO bot trolls need to make up your mind . LOLzo. How much is Trashkowski paying you to supplement your meagre, failing teaching English to the children of the oligarchy careers?

wow another hard hitting campaign spot totally trashing Trashkowski, if you will pardon the pun. I think this sort of propanganda will have real effect.. youtube.com/watch?v=bC87YYvxCVk Loving this PiS street fighter smash em to the ground approach!

You are salivating about a EU ban on Americans, where you yourself emigrated from there. Sad. If you had a clue about politics you would know that the EU Commission has no power over national borders, unless agreed in unison by the European Council . This is just a baby tantrum by EU Merkel about American forces being pulled from Germany. If you think EU countries are going to agree to a USA travel ban then you are in Cuckoo Land

a record number of business have gone under,

yes this is happening all around the world, no matter what governments do.

@PolamKrakow They have done nothing for the economy, well why was it booming before the pandemic? What about Shield Coronavirus stimulus bills? What about the fact the PO would have done half as much as they are less state interventionist? You ignore so much.. But last time PO was in power was bit before your time eh? so u have no experience of the jackasses

You weren`t so convinced in the past. Am I wrong or your views have evolved? :)

After few years in Poland, PolAmKrakow is networking with PO operatives, and they are slowly deciding to invite him into the Post-Communist Układ. He will be able to have some former SB agents on call if he ever has any business 'troubles' ;)

@delph Duda visiting flood areas today as well, so any Political Capital for Trashkowski was lost. Trashkowski was caught in two brazen lies within 5 minutes yesterday. First that he was not in the Sejm which voted to raise the retirement age, and then he corrected himself and said He was a member but voted against the motion. Trully a despicable untrustworthy character.

will drive Poland into a depression not seen since the Russians left.

You should take some happy pills, That paranoia can't be good for your health. Budka and KKK admitted on Sejm microphone that Coronavirus Stimulus bill was really strong and most PiS could do. You think PO will do more for small business? Keep Dreaming

This visit of Duda to the US before the first round is probably going to be the last throw of the dice for him

No. There will be partial allocation of that 70 Billion of EU Grants/Mutualised Debt that Poland is going to receive :) PO will probably propose electric car subsidy and creative precincts or something predictably ridiculous . Edit Oh you meant for the first round. Well its worth it I think. Big statement. I wonder if Trashkowskis security advisors FSB ties helped decide that the meeting was going to happen. Last thing the americans want is a President who is more sympathetic to Russia

The other half in his statemnt is that they won't support Duda in the second round either.

Do you have a source/link to that statement? Because AFAIK on Polsat news Bosak focused on PO and it's failings. And we are talking about Konfederacia's presidential canditate here not another Posel from another faction in konfed.

thats why Trump wouldn't schedule it around the 4th of July holiday.

I think Trump has a lot more important things to do around the 4th of July than meeting the Polish President! Probably quelling more riots..

Bosaks statement about not supporting PO in second round, Duda meeting Trump. Dudas upcoming economic promises in the runup to the second round. Trashkowskis spotty record in warsaw and the general bad memories of PO. Hołownia , KK and Biedron failing to capture public imagination. Its over folks. Looking forward to picking up my wager with PolamKrakow 12 July. :)

@lenka me too, but its getting late here .
interesting rumours surfacing today that Trashkowski top security advisor is the former head of Służba Kontrwywiadu Wojskowego who signed unauthorised agreement with the FSB . guess Trash has to follow PO tradition.

completely Soviet blind faith in "infrastructure" without actually researching

It seems what every smart country is doing to stave off an economic depression, in Australia we have brought forward several massive projects. Its not just CPK and the Kanał. Its Rail Baltica, Via Carpatia, Gdansk Port upgrades etc. Basically infrastructure investment that helps bring Poland into the Tier A of European countries, versus the PO vision of keeping Poland where it is and focusing on trivial issues such as money for ecological home renovations

both parties committed to upgrading and fixing the rail network

Well lets hope so. Haven't seen any pro infrastructure massive spending statements by PO and Trashkowski. In fact when Duda went to Konskie to sign a railway infrastructure initiative at the railway station, he was ridiculed for it by PO. When PO attack CPK they are attacking the rail component as well. The PO Pendolino purchase was a mistake and tainted with corruption., buying a tilt train without the tilt option is silly. Equilivant fast trains with speeds of 230km per hr can and should manufactured by PESA.

Intercity Express is mainly for business customers with its pricing , whilst the masses get the TLK crumbs.

Give each company.. something like 100K

PolAm "It's not a handout if I get it" Krakow

without killing the people already paying taxes.

Your CIP was reduced from 19 percent to 9 percent during PiS rule. But maybe after you arrived in Poland? PIT has been reduced. Your workers now under 26 pay no income tax, which is a massive motivation to get a job, work hard and stay in Poland. A world pioneering policy which should be applauded by low tax advocates. And yet you and the other Polams have the gall to say that PiS is strangling You and Poland with taxes!

I agree it's a risk, I am more impressed with the 1000km of fast rail that will be built as part of CPK, linking up all of Poland. So as an alternative to flying to frankfurt/ and then connection to USA/Asia, poles can catch train to CPK and do the same. The cargo potential of airport over the next 30 years also a positive. Lets face it Chopin is maxxed out, sorounded by the highway and houses. The European Commission had a ruling that it's illegal to force low cost carriers to move from an airport (discrimination) , as was the plan to with Lelystad Airport in Amsterdam. But we need the economic stimulus and a asset along with rail and roads that will last for generations seems like a good bet.

re business commuters from warsaw if its 200km/per hour high speed rail to CPK from cbd then in many regards better than being stuck in traffic to Chopin. With check in/baggage drop off at LOT kiosk in cbd.
