The Polish president will veto two of the three controversial laws, the laws that would have finally buried Polish democracy. Wow, I am shocked! This is a very quick and emotional post. I am just leaving for a spa in few minutes, no time for writing and even no time for thinking. It makes me happy though. Can I trust this verdict? We'll see, but my choice for now is to feel positive about the event.
Let us hope that the respite will lead to saner thinking.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say that the respite turned out to be a disappointment.
DeleteYes, this veto is really unexpected. Polish politics turns into a quite exciting game. My worry is, that on one hand the people are getting more and more polarized and hostile to the other side. On the other hand I fear that this naive enthusiasm of the street can be manipulated by some cynical politicians.
ReplyDeleteOn the brighter note - today is Your Name-Day - all the Best!!!!
How rude of me not to thank you earlier. My excuse is lack of internet for a couple of weeks, virus in my computer and friends visiting me for a week.
DeleteIt was very nice of you to remember, thank you.
I agree with you in respect of the polarization and It may even be the case with two of us. I sense that we are not on the same side, but hope it does not matter all that much.
"Laws that would have finally buried Polish democracy".
ReplyDeleteI have to mention that these laws mean nominating judges by the Attorney General instead of current procedure where judges are nominated by National Judges Council.
One more mention - in Australia judges are nominated by... Attorney General.
Strangely nobody complains about buried democracy.
This is one of the examples that we see certain things from different perspectives.
