if it's good for PiS it's good, if it's not good for PiS then it's awful and anti-Polish and needs to be stopped.

Which is almost identical to the rhetoric used by the PZPR.

If PiS is identical to PZPR what were the equivalents of PO and PSL?

The type of rhetoric used by PiS is certainly very much like that used by PZPR. If you watch the main news bulletin on public TV (Wiadomości at 19:30), you will soon discover it is a party political broadcast on behalf on the PiS party.

PO and PSL never used Communist rhetoric. Perhaps if you learnt Polish, you'd understand.

I wonder when they'll rename it. Perhaps something like "Television Journal" would be a nice name for the show?

"Television Journal"

"The Peoples' Republic Today" would be a more apt title, given the circumstances of state theft of public television.

You don't get it. There was never any opposition to PZPR.... PiS have lots of opposition. People have lots of choices, but the polls have consistantly shown that PiS is way out in front of the rest. Even the combined opposition of this Bolshevik Coalition consisting of six parties which have wildly divergent philosophies cannot overtake PiS.

Keep living in your Bolshevik bubble, but don't pretend to understand the Polish electorate. They are not going to be brainwashed by the 90% German owned anti-PiS media.

it is a party political broadcast on behalf on the PiS party.

I have to admit that Wiadomosci's does include a lot of PiS propaganda, but TVN and Polsat provide even more anti-PiS propaganda. The worst part is that they don't even cover a lot of stories which show PO in a bad light.

It says a lot about the bitterness and jealousy of PiS that they voted against a Pole

It shows that Poland does not have confidence in him doing anything for Poland and this is completely vindicated since he has always sided with his puppet master Merkel and gone along with German interests rather than Poland. He would have been all in favour of Nord Stream 2 to help the Russians since he is in favour of Poland paying the highest gas prices in Europe.

You do realise he was in charge when agreeing the incredibly high gas prices with Russia which will still be in effect until 2022.
He didn't even try to negotiate a price - reeks of a backhander.

It shows that PiS are petty minded fools who preferred to vote against putting a Pole in one of the top jobs in Europe. Nothing more, nothing less. Fortunately, he was supported by 27 EU countries, resulting in the famous 27-1.

You do realise he was in charge when agreeing the incredibly high gas prices with Russia which will still be in effect until 2022.

Oh dear. If you're going to try that one, at least have some understanding of the topic. The deal was always subject to renegotiation, which was it - for example, here: premier.gov.pl/en/news/news/gas-prices-for-poland-over-10-lower.html - oh look, Tusk actually negotiated a change in the contract resulting in *lower* prices. Now, let's look at what the article has to say:

- This will be possible thanks to the amending annex to the so-called Yamal contract, which revises the pricing conditions for gas deliveries to Poland. The fuel is going to be over 10 per cent cheaper.

The amending annex annuls the wrong 2006 decision, i.e. the renegotiation of the Yamal contract, which resulted in an 11 per cent rise in gas prices, costing PGNiG PLN 4 billion until the end of 2011.



Which party ruled in 2006? PiS! So, who in PiS received a bankhander according to your logic? :)

Try harder.

According to

1prime.biz/news/_Report_Polands_ruling_party_to_analyze_contract_with_Gazprom/0/%7BFDEA4BF0-464D-4DB3-B4AB-1868A121190D%7D.uif

former Economy Minister Waldemar Pawlak agreed to buy 1 billion cubic meters of gas from Russia, which Poland didn't need.

Since when was Pawlak a member of PiS?

So, according to a report in a publication directly controlled by PiS.

Notice how nothing has been said about it for 2 years now. It's just another attempt to smear Tusk through allegations and insinuations, because they know they've got nothing on him. Meanwhile, they use the hysteria to cover up their own wrongdoings, including buying expensive business jets from Boeing rather than buying badly needed SAR helicopters.

One has nothing to do with the other.
Why you lump it together?
Buying stuff from a country that is in fact an enemy.
Wrong priorities in Boeing.

Don't vex me. You're one of those guys that knows better but enjoys to meddle and make things more messy just for the hell of it. You are bad.

And that's why we've got Konfederacja, which is an alternative to a current political model of political duopoly in Poland. It's also the only viable politial option which would like to reduce taxes and beaurocracy instead of increasing it even further.

Not sure this is true, but if it is they will be even greater after PO shut down all the Polish coal mines which they have promised to do.

Sure thing. I am not sure why they do it. Some EU regulations or some shay deals i.e. someone makes money on that.

nd that's why we've got Konfederacja

They are good only for the Eu election. Such a massy coalition won't stand a chance in Polish elections. Korwin? - FFS! ah and that Braun - he doesn't belongs in politics..

PO

Po was bad and rotten like hell. There is no question about it. Yet PiS is in charge and they need some forces to keep them in check. Like patriotic right. That PO and all bunch of post-commie trash are just no able to do anything right, they just mess things up for Poland and are a useful tool for the foreign interest to meddle.

I will. Right now I'm encoraging the others to do it as well.

Lower taxes not only increase a purchasing power of citizens but also attract investments

They are good only for the Eu election.

Once they get a decent results in the EU elections they'll converge.

Do I have to remind you that PiS and KE are also political coalitions?

Except that we all know that the electorate is too young in terms of democratic choice to do the right thing and 4 more years of ideological claptrap and reckless decision making will follow. And if there is a financial downtown during this period then we can expect some nasty scenarios in terms of PIS's spending priorities, as in, there will be no money for projects that really matter.

I am rather curious. How come old town centres like Elblag have been completely and quite magnificently rebuilt recently but literally hundreds of equally historic old towns in such as Gniezno remain as slums?
delphiandomine 88 | 18,163
8 May 2019 #534
Largely down to local councils, to be honest. Some of them are excellent and proactive when it comes to applying for funding, some of them are absolutely terrible. Elbląg also has the benefit of being the second major city in the province, whereas Gniezno has the problem of being a provincial town in a province where there are far more important places.
Dougpol1 31 | 2,640
8 May 2019 #535
whereas Gniezno has the problem

I prefer the theory Delph that anything more than around 80 years old has some weird preservation order on it - when in fact half of old Gniezno was slums anyway - undamaged by war, and seriously needs pulling down, or at least behind the facades.

This is very annoying, that individual owners are caught in a catch 22 situation, where they can't sell, even if they hold the deeds, because the property, in its' present state, with sitting tenants etc is pretty nigh worthless.

In the meantime, most Polish authorities seem to be in no hurry and assume that inner city regeneration is a 200 year ongoing project. They need a ******* bomb under their arses.
delphiandomine 88 | 18,163
8 May 2019 #536
Oh, yeah, that too. It can be an absolute nightmare, as they can often insist on things being done that have no basis in reality. I know someone that was told to reconstruct a facade that never existed there, and the person responsible refused to grant permission unless this facade was constructed. He walked away, because it was obvious nonsense.

Sitting tenants are a whole different problem. I spoke to one Irish guy a few years back who said that after trying everything, including offers of alternative property, he finally snapped and got some Ukrainians to forcibly remove them in the middle of the night. I can understand him, because until he did that, there were nearly 60 flats lying empty because of the actions of three tenants.

Not without a good reason.

Can you tell us more about Konfederacja`s pro Russian attitude? Korwin openly admitted a few times that Kremlin`s Russia is our friend.

How will you comment on this news?
Korwin is the most favourite Polish politician of Russian media:
telewizjarepublika.pl/targalski-janusz-korwin-mikke-to-ulubieniec-prasy-rosyjskiej,79402.html

Their candidates to EP go to Crimea with Korwin where they support its annexation by Russia and defend Soviet monuments in Poland, claiming they shouldn`t be pulled down.

That's a very simplistic way of thinking.

Those who are in fact agents, or agents d'influence, are not being invited to Russian TV or openly backed by russian side but rather completely not spoken about or even oficially treated as an enemies of the state. Like in the case of "anti-russian" "anti-kremlin" ukrainian Lyudmila Kozlovska:

"Two British companies are said to have laundered more than £26m, some of which was used to fund an organisation accused of working with Russian security agents to spread misinformation and destabilise countries opposed to Vladimir Putin's regime.

Evidence compiled by the Moldovan parliament suggests that about £1.5m washed through the accounts of two firms in Glasgow and Edinburgh ended up in the bank account of the Open Dialogue Foundation (ODF), a Warsaw-based non-governmental organisation.

Its director, Lyudmyla Kozlovska, was banned from travelling in the European Union last August."

Mass media is a spectacle for dummies. What's invisible to an untrained eye is what's really important.

I'm glad that there are those coordinated attackes on Konfederacja directed by the ruling party and mainstream media alike. That means that Konfederacja truly has a chance to make an impact in the upcoming elections.

PS: @pawian, do you often answer your own posts? I don't want to worry you but that's a sign of schizofrenia.
