Coronavirus in Poland

your so-very-competent PO leaders claimed in April that the pandemic will be over by September in an attempt to move presidential elections to an autumn date

not mine..... why aren't PiS people ever able to defend the stupid sh{t that PiS does, it's always but PO!!!! but PO!!! but Tusk!!!!!!

That's a juvenile and irrelevant argument.

I don't say PiS is not to blame - but to me it's not a blatant example of incompetence - we had the presidential election mobilisation (all hands on board) - then we had internal conflict in the coalition - also the government (and the population) were lulled by the relatively easy time Poland had in the first wave

also you cannot say that if the opposition parties were at the helm they would perform better (I wonder what experts gave PO the expertise that the pandemy will be over by September)

I guess it wasn't easy to waste 70 million zloties....

I don't know if a different government would have done better, and I don't care because it's irrelevant to the massive incompetence that PiS has displayed.

yeah like 70 million PLN spent on ballot cards for May compares to billions that vanished from the budgets because of VAT fraud in the time of PO-PSL

There you go again..... see? Not even _you_ can make the case that PiS is competent and honest, it's all "PO TUSK look over there!"

What would PiS supporters do without being able to blame a party that hasn't been in power for 5 years... kind of a pathetic approach to life.

the money was wasted - indeed - but this is hardly corruption - PiS was willing to keep constitutional terms of election (May) and keeping the election safe - they didn't predict Gowin to go against them


if you can't see pluses of the PiS government then I have no more questions (like: have you noticed the booming economy before the corona struck)

I get the impression that the elections were rushed through by PIS whilst providing funding to those affected by Covid, because they knew that the virus would get worse and any popularity for PIS would drop considerably once people see a reduction in funding to those affected by the virus....its no good people saying that PIS had to comply with the constitution as that has always been the case.....the important point to remember is that these are extraordinary times which require extraordinary solutions which could have included delaying the elections until next year.....nothing is impossible....it just takes some creative thinking....

Totally, sources from inside the party were stressing that JK wanted to get them through so that he could relax for a couple of years without an election hanging over his head..... didn't quite work out that way.... (or more properly) without an election to worry about he was able to pursue his other goals which have been kind of disastrous for him and his party....

yes it is indeed the case - what would you do - allow corrupt opposition to gain the upper hand again after postponing the election

In what way do you think the opposition are 'corrupt'?

in ways related to finances - there were plenty of scandals involving PO-PSL and I am too lazy to name them all

Mostly manufactured by PiS; not 'scandals' at all.

Although corruption abounds within PiS; especially regarding state appointments and real estate/construction crime.

Proofs, darling. So far, only Nowak is accused but the case is uncertain - it can be all PiS hoax.


Yes, criminal rightards cry out: Catch the thief! and point to others.

you forget Stanisław Gawłowski, you forget Sławomir Neuman's tapes, you forget 'afera hazardowa' and Chlebowski, you forget the scandal around making Mecom sell their majority share in Rzeczpospolita, you forget hundreds of cases of public institutions over-spending on infrastructural project by agreeing on annexes to contracts etc etc etc nie che mi się

All of those are manufactured 'scandals' and nothing outside the normal course of political life.

Now PiS' mishandling of Covid...

Well I am not too worried about any possible corruption, as I this is evident from all political parties and businesses to a certain extent and we just have to live with it....why would you think that the opposition would take control.....clearly if PIS had a strong following then they should not fear a postponed election...it sort of shows that they are worried about public opinion and this I am afraid smells like fear.....

ej ej ej not so fast! We are talking about the opposition, remember??? The opposition which has functioned since 2015


Proofs! Show us proofs and court verdicts of guilty! Not rightards` false accusations.


You are lying, as usual. Eg.,.


PiS had "persuaded" one guy to accuse Gawłowski - there are no proofs, only words. Another accuser withdrew his testimony, saying that prosecutors had forced it. So??? If I visit a prosecutor`s office tomorrow (and I know a few personally due to professional contacts) and tell them I gave a top PIS politician a bribe, will they charge him instantly with the crime???

man we are talking about a country where a political party who delivered on about a half of their generous promises (and in certain fields even went further) received about 43 per cent of votes in the last parliamentary election - a country where no parties before ever bothered to fullfil their electoral promises - the people are either ungrateful or simply brainwashed - it is also a case of people who tend to see the glass is half empty and therefore complain and complain

Liar, liar. hahaha

do you seriously believe it - how can prosecution force someone to testify against someone - they beat him?? - blackmailed him?

an update on Gawłowski case - polskieradio24.pl/5/1222/Artykul/2463813,Zeznania-biznesmena-obciazaja-Gawlowskiego-PO-zachowuje-sie-w-tej-sprawie-niejednoznacznie

About Covid?

in terms of money spent and things that make the economy tick PiS was the most generous and fullfilled the most and even went beyond what it promised (it promised 500 PLN for every child after the first child and it bested itself with 500+ for every child)

hahahaha gumi, stop playing stupid. The guy who accuses Gawłowski is charged with other crimes. They promised him to be lenient on it if he implicates Gawłowski.

Even the title of your article says it - there are no proofs - it is a word against a word.

Show me the verdict of guilty and then we can talk. Before it, you are simply lying and falsely accusing.

I pretty much am sure that they will find proofs when the Urząd Skarbowy gets to Gawłowski's finances

...and now that changes have been made to the abortion law, it would now seem that even more funding is necessary....

there were around 1000 thousand of legal abortions yearly in Poland - even if the parents receive extra money for taking care of a disabled child (say 2000 PLN monthly) it would cost the state 24 million yearly (compared to over 20 billion PLN the government spends for 500+)

Wishful thinking which only proves you first arrest a man and then start looking for proofs. That is a truly rightard method.
So, let me inform you they have already screened him and found nothing.

actually over 40 billion

How about spending this money instead on improving the health sector....hospital upgrades....training medical staff to look after Covid patients.....increasing pay for nurses and doctors.....you could do a lot with 24 million yearly......
