Ikonowicz: You want to beat the PiS? Start fighting poverty

krytykapolityczna.pl 1 year ago

There's quite a few talk about killing PiS right now. This is served by committees of inquiry, the activities of the Minister of Justice and many another initiatives reported by the enthusiasts in this hunting of journalists. In fact, the impression is that the elimination of the Kaczyński organization from public life has become the main nonsubjective of the fresh power.

Although it is actual that PiS politicians broke the law and abused power, focusing efforts on clearing the erstwhile squad will not give the expected result. The PiS cannot be "beated". As long as there is simply a “poor province”, poorness and its associated tight horizons, the PiS or something like PiS will continue. It's that 38 percent of respondents believe in the Smolensk “attack”, it is not only the consequence of tv propaganda, but besides the low cultural capital of “free Poles”.

This won't be won by punishment, arrests, waiver of immunity and public stigma. Now, provincial Poland feels lost, humiliated. The gap between the 2 Polish, wealthy, large-town and mediocre tiny town and municipality can only be filled with money. Meanwhile, in times of Liberal rule, most EU funds were spent west of the Vistula River.

The absence of a European regional policy to channel funds from rich centres to the poorest regions was hidden under the heading of "decentralisation".

Active social policies are besides needed, starting with raising the income criterion for benefits. Finally, the origin of social exclusion is junk contracts and maintaining the fiction that workers are companies providing employer services. Overcoming this scourge will not only bring millions of people out of the poorness zone, but will besides strengthen the Social Insurance Fund. Those who truly want to beat the Law and Justice must dare to make a breakthrough: stand on the side of the planet of work, against the selfishness of employers.

In order to realize the degree of the gap between metropolises and Poland B, it is adequate to note that the minimum wage in Warsaw means vegetation, and in Długosiodle in the White Forest is the highest of aspiration. The reluctance to enter into employment contracts is due not only to the greed of business owners but besides to the low profitability of the micro-enterprise sector. People who fight regular to make ends meet will not be identified with the authoritative optimism of the rulers.

The silently announced average wage in the enterprise sector can only irritate due to the fact that it affects little than half of the workers. Most of the 2.3 million companies employing less than 9 employees are shops. Their financial condition is worse. And it'll get worse if we don't limit the expansion of abroad trade networks.

It is actual that “as a country” we have been successful. During the transition, he tripled into national income. In Warsaw, per capita income is higher than in Vienna, Helsinki or Madrid. Yet 5 Polish regions belong to the poorest in the European Union: Podkarpackie, Podlaskie, Świętokrzyskie, Warmian-Masurian and Lublinskie. Needless to say, these are the bastions of Law and Justice.

In a planet where success is simply a duty, and losers are condemned to shame, the PiS gives explanations that let to preserve dignity. alternatively of pointing to a strategy of exploitation and dominance that this right-wing organization does not question, it points to enemies among strangers. Germany, with Tusk at the head, the Russians and the European Union, are liable for our poorness and the resulting humiliations. Nationalist rhetoric allows to draw pride from the very fact that 1 is simply a Pole – unlike those "worst" who are not Poles.

And it won't be much usage to mock written conspiracy theories. It was the massive attacks of the rulers that made a pair of inferior snitches and provokers win in making PiS unbreakable national heroes. due to the fact that it's not the law professors who decide who's a political prisoner, it's the crowd protesting behind the prison walls. The people may and frequently should not agree, but it is foolish to mock them. The mocked people hatred especially hard.

The Law and Justice Department refers straight to prejudice and mediocre orientation in the planet of people whose voices they seek. Regardless of grotesquely primitive propaganda, people repeat specified uncreated stories that it is hard to believe that individual truly believes that.

A fresh power needs spectacular success. It could be to deal with the housing crisis, especially hard striking young generation. However, this would require not only a strong 1 in us Developer lobby and banks, but besides all those who bought apartments as deposits and do not want the marketplace to appear massively inexpensive rental apartments, due to the fact that this would lower the value of their investment.

It is actual that the Tusk government has not eliminated social transfers launched by the Law and Justice. The point is that these transfers were inactive besides tiny to inhibit the powerful process of dispersal of income and property Poles. People won't be grateful to the government for 800+ or for the thirteenth and fourteenth retirements, due to the fact that it's already given them the Law and Justice. They'll anticipate more. Something that'll cover the gap between the rich and the poor.

Except Tusk and his allies don't talk about dissection at all. As if the problem did not be either – or as if it was uncomfortable to tell them about it. And this dissection and the humiliation resulting from it causes him to lose power after 2 terms of the Law and Justice, but he was inactive a organization with the best election result.

Liberals can't yet beat the PiS due to the fact that they're liberals. due to the fact that they represent the interests of those who have become truly rich thanks to the systemic transformation. Therefore, they will not defend the interests of tiny local trade in local governments against the flooding of networks. They will not vote for municipal construction either in local governments or in the Sejm. And it is not a coincidence that they refused the organization together 1 percent in the budget for specified construction.

They won't betray business. They will not side with workers and will not begin to destruct labour marketplace pathologies specified as garbage trucks or B2B employment. Finally, within the framework of European regional policy, they will not recover from poorness and backwardness in regions where most voters vote for the Law and Justice.

It is besides hard to believe that the Tusk government, which had not raised the social aid threshold erstwhile for 7 years, will take care of the poorest.

A consistent redevelopment of the strategy towards the implementation of the constitutional rule of social justice, which is to reduce the gap between the mediocre and the rich, can only be undertaken by the left. It would should be an independent formation, not an independent one. Junior Liberal partner.

Poland needs a fresh social agreement. Contract with everyone alternatively of the current dictate of rich and powerful.

Many seem to think that the current “confusion” is just a brawl between troubled politicians. However, there is an expanding social crisis in the background that can blow both sides of the conflict away. The rebellion of the young generation, for which no real basis of existence and social promotion was created. A rebellion of a state that feels defeated and ridiculed. Finally, the revolt of the spaupered part of society, which alternatively of reaching for the fruits of “our Polish success” inactive has to borrow from debt sharks to live.
