Anyone thinking the international business community wont turn their backs on Poland over this

Doesn't seem to have affected Dubai and Abu Dhabi where being homosexual is you know, Illegal, You can say they have oil but investment/tade is happening in to all sorts of areas. I believe western tourists go there.

And the big infrastucture investments of PiS sound a lot more credible than nothing from PO, just yapping about the Kanal and that we don't need CPK because it will be biggest airport in the world and Berlin has one . LOL. PO has literally no idea with what to do with the EU stimulus money apart from hospitals and 'job security' They want Poland to remain weak and a vassal of Germany.

I agree that PiS went too far with their LGBT rhetoric, however I don't see it as a disaster for Poland internationally. Like the boy who cried wolf the western media has already blown their wad that Poland is Evil Catholic nation hating Gays. Yes there has been coverage about Duda claiming LGBT is worse than communism (which is very disrespectfull to the victims of Commies) but just as much about Poland invading Czechia. The PiS electoral AI computer must have calculated that this was an effective electoral strategy, i don't agree but lets see how it plays out. If Duda loses to Czaszkowski because of this, i will happily say fair play PiS ****** up.

It seems that left wing voters like you delph, don't want actual leftist ideals and actions, but you want PO style neo-liberalism with pseudo left virtue signalling on identity politics issues So if it applies to you why won't it apply to millions of ultra-conservatives who will vote for Bosak and then Duda in second round?

Hungary launches €398 million zero-interest loan scheme for small businesses in coronavirus stimulus package

rmx.news/article/article/hungary-launches-398-million-zero-interest-loan-scheme-for-small-businesses-in-coronavirus-stimulus-package
Looks like maxiumum 6000 zloty per business. If PiS does not follow Orban's lead and launch somethng like this before election they deserve to lose.

To me he presents himself more like a full of sh*t hipster wearing a vintage scarf

Then he takes daddy's porsche to a high end mafia strip club, does too much coke, and accidentally murders a hooker.

Well let's try another one my PolAm friend, this too , like fighting rather than collaborating with trans-national mafia you will find unimportant. The European Commission with the help of the German Presidency of the European Council wants to ram down the throat of Poland the mandatory relocation of real and fake asylum seekers. (again) Perfect timing for the presidential election. :) Luckily the resistance from EU countries has grown to 7+ Austria + surprises. rmx.news/article/article/seven-eu-nations-reject-compulsory-migration-quota-in-letter-to-european-commission Polish people have a long memory of the last PO government kow-towing to Germany and agreeing to take 7000 'refugees' the last time they were in power. It's still PO policy to accept EU diktacts and embrace unidentified military aged men into Poland as part of our mandatory migration quota is it not? . Happy to see the European Commission doing PiS electoral job :)

PiS cant decide what it is. They have multi personality disorder.

That is why they are so successfull, both electorally and until recently with the economy. Leftwing welfare policies with right wing values policies . see dw.com/en/poland-where-keynes-meets-jesus/a-48943007

PolAmkrakow + Assorted PolAms
Since I am such a nice guy I have found a free version of Układ Zamknięty for you. The whole movie is about 3 entrepreneurial business owners in Poland so I am sure you will enjoy it. lookmovie.ag/movies/view/ukad-zamknity-2013

If you need English Subtitles can be downloaded and then uploaded into the video player.

If all countries are selling debt at the same time then Poland will be less atttractive.

Government Bonds are regarded as an investment safe haven in times of volatility. Buyers don't care about 'democratic' rule of law , they just care about rule of law hence why Hungary and Poland are still seen as a prime location for big-business investment. Poland won't have a problem.

so far I have not received a grosze. . Neither has anyone else I know.

That does indeed suck. I hope they come up something soon. I could be wrong but heard today that 4th round of coronavirus policy includes delays in paying ZUS and some form of subsidy in getting commercial loans? pretty pathetic I agree and PiS will have to up its game before the election.

The Germans have abandoned a balanced budget with their stimulus bill, and in fact there is europe wide consensus that debt is needed in these times. so lets see if it leads to their financial ruin.

"The program will include temporary cuts to VAT, a per-child financial allowance for families, and assistance for cash-strapped local authorities, along with plans to boost subsidies for electric cars and spend billions on national transport infrastructure." politico.eu/article/german-coalition-agrees-e130b-economic-rescue-package/

Cutting VAT temporarily is bold. Good to see them following Poland's lead and increasing financial assistance per child. Now we await Poland's Stimulus program to deal with the upcoming depression.

Well you too have been quick to make assumptions. I have lived in Poland. I have paid taxes in Poland. I visit regularly for months at a time but I prefer the warmer weather of OZ. My Uncle owns a pharmaceutical manufacturing company. I have a thorough knowledge of his business and how Poland works. Individual Philanthropy towards the poor has nothing to do with a decent welfare system, which poland lacks and you somehow think is a waste of money and will lead Poland to financial ruin. But if someone has grown up in the USA I can see how you think it is not possible. Perhaps i lumped you in with the Neo-libs mafs and cms who keep blathering on about 'handouts'

the left are irrelevant in poland, before and after PiS getting into power, PO kept going on about 500+ and how it will lead to financial ruin, stop people from looking for jobs armagedon blah blah. well what happend? we could afford it by stopping multi billion VAT fraud and multiple corruption scandals. As well as growing the economy through cutting red tape, R&D investments and state aid to important companies. PiS is the only viable party that wants to help the less fortunate and advance poland into the next stage of its development, and not just for the liberal elite in Warsaw. Those are my priorities , not lowering the retirement age, introducing trash contracts, and selling all they could to foreign capital like PO. Who do you expect me to vote for?

Any company that has the expertise and talent to oversee a multi-billion dollar construction project would be multinational with projects around the world, thats not to say it would not be headquartered in Germany and use German workers.

PolamKrakow I'm glad you and your company are doing well, but your american heritage comes with certain ideological baggage, of how you view the poor and the level of government support they should receive. Its also interesting that you moved to Poland whilst PiS was in power, so you do not have a point of comparison about PO corruption and what they gave to their SB/WSI mates. Who knows how your business would have gone if PO was in power and you annoyed the wrong person?

I suggest you watch the movie ukłąd zamknięty, very good depiction of how the post-communist elite operate , which are the underpinning of PO. vod.pl/filmy/uklad-zamkniety/rsrvz2j#0

Considering PiS won the last Parliamentary and Presidential elections and will win this one, it seems they have the same priorities as me. Or half of Poland are paid trolls?

Oh thats right they are stupid sub-humans bribed by handout kiełbasa and can't think for themselves. LOLzo

You assume people that support PiS are trolls. You don't have the intelligence to realise that many polish people want Poland to reach the top tier of European countries, and not just be a source of cheap labour and a market for german goods. But plastic PolYanks will never realise this.

About as biased as Gazeta Wyborcza, Newsweak and TVN24

15 years of airport building in Berlin! Amazing success story there isnt it? LOL Its still not ready to open

i follow aviation closely. Brandeburg was a SNAFU, because the state government refused to hire a multinational corporation to oversee the project, and did it themselves, city bureaucrats trying to co-ordinate hundreds of companies constructing the airport lol.

wonder how much air traffic will increase anywhere in the next few years?

Primary function is becoming a mega cargo hub for central Europe and linking all of Poland by fast rail.

Baloney. Visegrad Group is strong, with Slowakia now a conservative-populist goverment. Germany has realised this and the attacks on PiS have stopped in the german state media. All Countries have a veto on any sanctions so we're all good. . Merkel is making amends with Poland. We're getting 65-70 Billion in debt mutualisation grants so plenty of money for infrastructure investment such as CPK. On the other hand PO want to stop the canal and airport. (theres going to be one in berlin so we don't need one lol!) PO has always been about keeping Poland as a economic colony of Germany and doing humiliating deals with Russia - ie paying the lowest price in europe for gas. This is what happens when a party is infested with ex SB/WSI oligarchs.

Oh the pious PO driving old skodas! cry me a river mate! You don't think the head of the presidential dept should have a proper car? Oh our hero health minister gave evidence today that he took no decisions at the institute that ordered the medical supplies. So unless your grubby mob can prove otherwise its all just unproven conjecture. Marowiecki was right just a bunch of flies buzzing around making noise. Since we speculating Tusk's Son working at OLT whilst Amber Gold stole 600 million off the elderly of Poland was coincidental wasin't it? Since the PO Gdansk Scum, ex SB member called the Tiger and Russian inteligencie was behind it. But i wouldn't expect you to have much sympathy for Poles being robbed, hating Polish people is in every cell of your expat body.

You should show slightly more respect to the President of Poland as a citizen. Kacynski might be pulling Dudas strings but still better than the alternative. Trashkowski has so many Oligarch and ex SB/WSI fists so far up his a**, that they control his facial features.
