Poles back Gronkiewicz ouster referendum

Many Poles eagerly affixed their signatures on Sunday to a petition calling for a referendum to oust Warsaw Mayor Gronkowicz-Waltz. Among the reasons given in leaflets being passed out are:

-- closure of schools and daycares amid the expansion of the city's administration by 3,000 more bureacrats,

-- raising public-transport fares whilst cutting back on the number of lines,

-- the whole trash-pickup snafu

-- messed-up road-building projects

--overall negligence, waste and incomptence.

Her name is Gronkiewicz-Waltz, not "Gronkowicz" or any other stupid variation that you've invented.

For what's its worth, this is just yet another attempt at publicity seeking by PiS supporters. Nothing new, and nothing will change.

Like the vote of negative confidence in Tusk (whatever happened to Glinski anyway?), this vote is doomed to fail.

She has been know as Gronkowiec for years now.Staphylococcus

I should have stuck Gronkowiec. But Gronkowicz was an honest mistake, even though I know you'll doubt that. The proof is that Gronkowicz means nothing different and isn't pejorative -- it's just another name.

By "patriots" that don't even live in Poland?

Quite obviously much of this is to do with sexism.

By Poles living in Poland.


Rather with a fact that lady in qestion has been know for her intellectual capacity of a door.

Strange. The only ones that seem to say this stuff are the ones who also cheat ZUS, who cheat others and who live thoroughly dishonourable lives.

I doubt she's got much to worry about, having won last time in the first round comfortably.


Sexist to the end, aren't you? I mean, a woman, in charge of Warsaw? No!

Interestingly the ouster isn't a PiS thing - much of the support comes from the left and centre-left in Ursynow who will probably provide her replacement should they succeed. Most of those involved would be deeply offended to be described as nationalists.

It's actually a very bad move by the SLD - their name is associated with this and PiS, but Ruch Palikot wisely moved away from it.

Are there any reliable opinion polls showing her support in Wasaw?

Just to correct this, only residents of Warsaw would be able to vote on that, not all Poles.


As much as I despise of HGW, Gronkowiec is still way better than Kłamczyński and his pisuar.

The SLD are indeed playing with fire on this one - the Ursynow political camp (among the most radical in PL) are confine their man will win, however HGW (much as I dislike her stance on some issues) is still a better bet.

And yes, it isn't 'Poles' who decide as a nation, it's all residents of Warsaw with a vote - probably the most cosmopolitan, multicultural and politically liberal section of society.

Can you prove it?I think not is just another performance by delph in producing huge bubbles of hot air - bravo! Where is my popcorn?


Come on delph what do you have against women? Look for your feminine side


Maybe for the fact that she is rubbish as the City president,so bad in fact that even political shield is not able to hide it.


you seems to be despising everyone - happens


How about former residents? lol

She certainly isn't rubbish - not compared to wastes of space like Lech Kaczyński and Paweł Pisorski who preceded her however her distinct lack of charisma and abrasive manner have alienated voters, that and the fact that many of the more political aware in the capital are sick of yet another conservative.

I haven't signed the ouster paper, since I favour waiting for her term of office to run its course in not much more than a year's time and also am undecided about her likely successor. I will however not vote for her should she stand again.


Hard to know what you mean here. Former residents don't get to vote.

I'm referring to that part of your post.

Whatever you're trying to say makes no sense whatsoever.

People in Warsaw elected her, they need to suffer now to truly understand their mistake.

I'm former resident of Warsaw. Do I qualify to be the most cosmopolitan, multicultural and politically liberal .

We suffered enough when LK was in that role.

Nope


Just like we suffered through Kłamczyński

Read the post before commenting. It didn't include the word 'former' and you will not be voting in this election. You abandoned Poland years ago.

Well is is not what I'm asking for, if you don't want to answer just say so.


Watch out what you saying or it may cause your self-hood to crumble.

None of that makes the slightest bit of sense as usual.

Those are precisely the concepts most average Poles are wary of.

on the contrary dear jon on the contrary, we both know why you chose to answer as you did. Nothing to do with not making sense by me, but I cannot be bother to pursue further this issue.#


Not even that, the point si Polo3 that in Warsaw you can find any kind of people and any kind of views. My bet would be that those who are freshly imported to the capital, are those the most cosmopolitan, liberal and so on....ah and Soviets and their brood.

Perhaps in the sticks. Only Warsaw residents are involved in this issue. Anyone else is merely an observer.

Still not able to write her name correctly I see.
