>Poland’s right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) government, which began making changes to the judiciary after coming to power in late 2015, insists the new reforms are needed to combat corruption and overhaul the judicial system still haunted by the communist era.

I'm not that concerned since they are not Russian cucks.
It will suck for Poles though. So they themselves should be buttblasted for their shitty government.

This is about them threatening the independence of the judiciary branch, dumbo.
I though Americans cared abour constitutionalism?
Can't you guys change your name slightly (like, Macedonic Republic, or North Macedonia) or have the Greeks change their region's name a bit (to something like Greek Macedonia)? It seems like a silly thing to bicker about.
Eli Allen
Well I agree. We don't need more proto-Russias around.
Benjamin Flores
>stalinist you're throwing around words you dont know the meaning of. Why?

Why can't Poland accept some refugees for one? Most Poles have probably left their country by now
Juan Davis
Because Poles are niggers themselves why would they accept any more?
Landon Miller
This so much
Bentley Rogers
PiS is just our own version of neoconservatives. There is nothing based about them. They are cancerous as fuck in their own way. PiS opposes third world invasion simply to get votes. They have no qualms about letting in millions of Ukrainian immigrants anyway.
Only 55% of Poles believe. It's the same question why 20% of Germans support AfD. There are idiots in every country, just Poland has a bit more of them, since communism, bad education and shit.
Evan Peterson
We are already fyrom

From the real PiS drones maybe 30% belives this.
Belive me, both PiS and PO are fucking awful and PiS is winning only because there is no alternative. Like 0 real parties that would actually do something different.

We actually kinda need a ((Pole)) right now as a prime minister. We need to focus on economy and appease the EU.

Lucas Hughes
>reconsider their relationship with Russia we would need a government that is able to negotiate without emotions getting in the way
sadly, PiS isn't one, they are driven purely by their leader's personal vendetta against the old establishment and their supporters' hate towards ones considered Poland's all time enemies - Russia, Germany and liberals
and when I speak about 'old establishment' I don't mean commies, because PiS has as many if not more ex-commies than other of Poland's major parties and Kaczyński himself got his doctorate for his marxist works, he's literally s nationalistic catholic commie Kaczyński and Macierewicz were sidelined by their old anti-communist opposition buddies and now they're getting their revenge and the bydlo is happy because they got social benefits and they can watch former elites (lawyers, doctors, scientists, economists) humiliated
Angel Green
He is a servant of the Lejb Fogelman. That jewish lawyer took part in emitting 70%(!) of all the obligations that public companies released during PiS rule.
All on Morawicki's order.
Funny stuff.
Nicholas Ramirez
That's because they are retarded macedonians are just bulgarians speaking a slightly different version of bulgarian and their whole nationalism revolves around annexing the northern part of greece
Christian Bennett
In Jews we trust. If Poles can't manage their country, because we should give it to someone who can manage better.
Aaron Campbell
they are southern Serbs
Chase Robinson
Yeah, like the Beck's honor that costed us lives three millions of ethnic Poles and another three millions of Polish Jewish citizens? Go ahead, die for your honor, suffer poverty for your honor but do it yourself. I don't give a fuck about your or Kaczyński's honor, I want peace, stability and euromonies. A couple of Arabs who will flee to Germany is a cheap price for the things we can achieve with EU. Fuck, it's not even like we didn't take muslim refugees before - remember Chechens? Somehow, they didn't start to shoot people on the streets demanding sharia law left and right. And where are they now? In Germany, Sweden, Norway.

so leave Poland, that's clearly not a country for you.
Gavin Thompson
>and their whole nationalism revolves around annexing the northern part of greece No, we're not Albanians. We even amended the constitution that we don't have any territorial pretensions towards any of our neighbors to ameliorate their fears that we were somehow going to take Greek Macedonia. Although I can see where they got the idea with all those maps waved by uneducated patriotic bydlo. We have enough trouble keeping what we have as it is let alone starting conflicts with someone who is many times stronger in military, economic and every other sphere. No one was ever serious about that it was always just part of the wewuzery.
Luke Sullivan
They have never been serbs take a look at their surnames their names their language aside alphabet. 100% bg And i am not serb so i am talking from a neutral point of view. I understand you guys wanted macedonia with your side but u gotta admit it was a mistake

Justin Lopez
I'm not a Serb either, but Macedonia must be Serbian again, because they actually lived better under Serbian rule than now.
Macedonia was the most underdeveloped region of jugoslavia so i dont know where you base your claims at

>that maternity extra cash did have some impact, didn't it? yes, even bigger than I thought, it became the major source of income for most of the degenerates living in my neighbourhood, all of the bimbos just stopped working and started to shit out armies of mini-bydlo while their former employers just took in some Ukrainians on their place >lawyers, doctors, scientists, economists yes, but that's not the whole story, even the conservative and eurosceptic parts of Polish elite got antagonized because outside of some really cynical individuals, most of the lawyers couldn't stand and just look at how PiS blatantly uses loopholes to break the constitution, most of the economists couldn't overlook their financial manipulations used to cover the fact that PiS's recless spending is fucking our budget up and most of the scientists couldn't ignore the fact they're destroying our environment beyond repair in some cases for short-term financial gain
Kevin Wilson
>Macedonia was the most underdeveloped region of jugoslavia
And now it's even more underdeveloped than it used to be. Go to Skopje and ask any Macedonian older than 60, if he misses Yugoslavia. I'm pretty sure you'll get like 80% "yes".
Isaiah Anderson
doesn't mean I can't laugh at deluded servescum
Adam Thomas
Serbs actually gave Macedonians identity, culture, language, alphabet, religion and human rights. Not to mention, that Serbs rebuilt Skopje after the earthquake for their money. These Macedonians were so "poor", that in the early 90s, their Bulgarian "brothers" let them fuck their wives for a pair of Turkish jeans Macedonians could buy for cheap in their country.

All Slavic languages are almost the same, if you're a speak of a Slavic language it takes like a week to get used to slightly distorted words and grammar and voila, you speak another Slavic language.
>interested in the balkans
Many people are.
>posts servian propaganda 24.7
It's just historical truth, I've read a lot about it.
>85% of posts are butthurt regarding Bulgarians albanians macedonians etc
They deserve it. And I don't post that much about Albanians, because they're fairly irrelevant and their existence in the Balkans is a mere mistake. Also their shqip shqip language is a complete mess so I can't even talk with them, while I can understand Bulgarian well enough to find out if they want to offend me or agree with me.
>im polish
I am. I've posted my passport with a timestamp like 10 times.
Tyler Peterson
but you must care
Brandon Jones
Serbia is first world comparing to Bulgaria, Romania or Albania.
Gabriel Hernandez
Why tho?
Samuel Turner
The problem is, there are plenty ex-commie judges that have many things to blame for and new judges are accepted by current one, mostly friends and family members, so commie mindset is still there. I think the way pis want to solve it is stupid, not only for system but for party itself, because we don't know what next gov gonna make with such ability.
Benjamin Hall

Blake Peterson
I kinda hoped PiS would actually improve political culture in poland when it took over after the previous corrupt establishment.
Unfortunately they proved their opponents right more often than not. >public broadcaster gets even worse in terms of bias and dishonest political commentary >prosecution and judiciary stripped of independence and rolled under direct political influence >smolensk disaster milked for rhetorics >foreign policy turned into russia-tier victim complex for domestic audience
I'm almost afraid to ask what result of such policy will be. Will the new banker-PM play "good cop" now? Will he be able to inspire confidence and fill the trenches with something else than more vitriol? And if/when he fails, who will Poles turn to next? Opposition does almost better job at denigrating itself than the primitive propaganda coming from state media...

>If the EU notices a “serious and persistent breach” of these values I like how they actively avoid specifying their accusations. They just throw random buzzwords around.

Macedónia is being bombarded by equal shit slavs, it amazed how can a polish or serb think they are better then anyone else when all they did was opress smaller countrys. It In my eyes all slavs are equal in theyre misery, but i do have a soft spot for Croácia You plebs repulse me
