Poland also has an issue of extremely high age of medical personnel, due to emigration and low wages (and the declaration of PiS 'let them leave' after the last protest of medical staff should tell you how they've been treated for a while now (tbh longer than PiS was at the helm)). The average age of a nurse in Poland was 53 in 2020 and has been increasing by 0.5 year per year for a while now. mmkay fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Feb 16, 2022 |

Torrannor posted:In a move that was then obvious in hindsight, the Greek Cypriots decided to have their cake and eat it, too. By voting down the unification referendum, while the Turkish Cypriots approved it. Can you expand on this point - why was it obvious and why was it desirable to Greek Cypriots? To spite-deny Turkey access to EU?

I didn't realize the differences were mounting up already back then, thank you for the write up. It's weird though how North Cyprus isn't recognized, but the will to be reunited doesn't exist either - what other path is there, just status quo of existing side by side?

The original (well, the medieval ones) inhabitants of Kaliningrad/Prussia were gone a long time ago, eventually replaced by Germans, now replaced by Russians (and Poles and I believe some Ukrainians on the Poland half); so there's not much Baltic language there.

Does Hungary have that weird law, where you can't talk about election results until it ends (it leads to some stupid poo poo in Poland where everyone is thinly disguising it by talking about the price of X being 40PLN, while Y is 23PLN on election days)?

with a rebel yell she QQd posted:Pretty sure. 12 our of the 14 voting districts of Budapest were won by the opposition. The countryside is under total media control tho. PiS was floating an idea of FPTP in rural areas (where they have a majority/plurality so 100% of seats go to them) and proportional in the cities (where the opposition has a majority/plurality, so PiS captures some votes there as well). I'm assuming that Hungary has a similar system (and this is where PiS got the idea from), or is it all FPTP?

I know there were some reports of blockades on the border with Belarus and Kaliningrad against trucks, but I don't believe I heard anything about individual passenger cars. Probably wouldn't rule it out though, unfortunately.

I chuckled at the Russian response to Lithuania blocking transit to Kaliningrad: https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1723423/russia-says-lithuania-s-transit-ban-illegal quote:On Monday, Kremlin said it would “formulate” a response after Lithuania banned the rail transit of sanctioned goods between the Russian mainland and its exclave of Kaliningrad, wedged between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic coast.

Eh, the current Polish government is doing enough creative accounting, that it's getting harder and harder to say what the state of the finances are. So on the one hand having an independent currency makes some sense to try to stabilize poo poo, but on the other -  about the current national bank being independent.

Mokotow posted:Ever wondered what attempting a rocket jump IRL would look like? Wonder no more! Leaked photos show the result of the Polish Policja commissioner playing around with a launcher he brought back from a Ukraine visit. Photos were kept confidential, as his defense was he was given an old launcher turned into a Bluetooth speaker, and you can clearly see that no, it was a weapon and you could clearly see it. Curiously, there seems to be more weapons in the background. How no one died and the only injuries suffered was to the commissioner's hearing is a mystery, I don't know, the photos clearly confirm it was a boombox (or a boomtube).

Nah, I think at least one prime minister was designated (and voted in) from the not-majority party (Pawlak in 93). They went with a coalition with the leading party though anyway.

He's requesting the plane hull (a bun) for the passengers (I think that's what the sausages were supposed to be) 5. The phrase 'Jaka parówa wariacie'/'Which sausage, dude/psycho/insert non-obvious translation here' was a meme (or maybe even a real ad campaign) for the convenience store Żabka, which also has a side-shop selling hot-dogs/coffee/etc.

OddObserver posted:Also, no king-like pardon powers for the President, or does Duda just not want to use them? Part of the issue here is that Duda claims that the two MPs were already successfully pardoned by him 8 years ago. However as mentioned above, that happened before the appeal process ended so he was in effect pardoning (still) innocent people. That was done because even with a pardon you can't be an MP if you've been convicted, so it was seen as a One Quick Trick Judges Don't Want You To Learn About to get them into Sejm. Edit: Mokotow posted:Duda, who has a law PhD, is ignoring years of established legal precedent and is basically saying “nope, I can propose expunge any crime whenever I want!”. https://www.rp.pl/prawo-karne/art10426401-akt-laski-co-andrzej-duda-mowil-w-2011-roku mmkay fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Jan 10, 2024 |
