Expat in Poland 🇵🇱

🇵🇱 Time for the PiS balance-sheet in Poland. From finance, to unemployment or the army. I copied the important lines from @LewicowyPrawak Let's start with the state's financial situation (in billions of PLN) Under liberals 2008-2015: + 13% Under PiS 2015-2022: + 74%

Poland.

Mood:

@GotfrydKarol @K_Stanowski już mamy powiązanie Nawrockiego z Hitlerem, wrescie.

To jest amok. Ta kampania wyrąbała wielką przepaść między elitą a masą. A przecież obie się potrzebują nawzajem.

@acormierd Vous êtes à Paris, je vous recommande d'aller à l'église Saint Nicolas des Champs à la prière des malades le jeudi soir. Pour un regain de foi.

Je sors de la messe dominicale à l'église Saint-Nicolas-du-Chardonnet. Il y a foule. Jeunes, trentenaires avec enfants, têtes grises, etc. Pratiquement pas d'extra-européens. Tout cela fait chaud au cœur.

On the 19th of October 1984, a Catholic priest called Father Popiełuszko was murdered by the communist regime. This Polish priest dared face communist tanks, troops and repressions armed with nothing more than the courage to speak the Truth.

Great speech and visuals with a focus on Germany's weakness. It's not just high energy prices or regulation (always been the case). Put simply, China has moved up the value chain and no longer drives Germany's export-led growth. If the US turns protectionist, Germany is cooked.

it should be a crime to waste flag potential like this

🇪🇺 “The EU only has 2 or 3 years to put an end to the total domination of the US and China,” believes Macron. “The EU can die, we are on the threshold of a very important moment" Macron and his political family are responsible for this. politico.eu/article/emmanu…

🇵🇱 "Tragic results of state-owned companies. Profits turned into losses.” In other words, with conservative, only positive results (sometimes even impressive). Now it is a mess. The experts about Poland who were obsessed by PiS are now silent. bankier.pl/wiadomosc/Trag…

Not stupid, but very cynical, he is not afraid to say something one day and the opposite the next day. It works if you have media support and big institutions like the EU. But this little game is more difficult on social medias.

Retirees are the main voters of Macron, who represents that old pro-European liberal center left/right that has ruled France since Mitterrand. Their society was based on individualism (no children, high divorce rate, etc.) and mass immigration. This is all about to collapse.

France is entering into a debt crisis, the main reason are the pensions: "Pensions are responsible for 52% of the increase in public debt since 2017, or 438 billion euros."

The new Polish government is simply following the trend emerging within the EU: the war must end, even if the conditions are not the best for Ukraine.

The problem of Ukrainian seeds, the demonstration of Polish truckers who blocked the highways or the negation of the massacre of Volhynia was never created or an obsession of the Polish right but these are transpartisan issues in Poland.

Pro-Ukraine Twitter users, including Ukrainian politicians, are surprised by the tone taken by the new Polish government, which they expected to be more pro-Ukrainian. It's simply that they don't understand Polish domestic politics:

The reconstruction concept of the Saxon Palace in Warsaw has won the best planned restoration/renovation award at the prestigious International Architecture Awards 2024.

EU, ecologist NGO's (funded by Germany) have a responsibility for the scale of the catastrophic floods occurring in Poland. They have always protested against all the work undertaken to enlarge Polish rivers in the name of “nature”. Another success for the "independant experts"

On the 17th of September 1939, the Red Army invaded Poland, unleashing a wave of mass murder, rape, plunder and deportations. This was made possible by the German-Russian alliance on the one hand and the indifference of the world on the other.

Kłodzko, Poland. Street view image before yesterday’s flood and a photo taken today of the aftermath. Devastating.
