A most unusual government
Straight Zigzag II There has probably been no more extraordinary government in recent times than Morawiecki’s ‘provisional government’, i.e. his last government – the one that everyone, including his prime minister and others, knew from the start was a very provisional government. , because barely two weeks old. This “provisional government” demonstrated again and again […]
I’m rooting for Tusk!
Of course II Unfortunately, times are such that it is time to praise the failure to keep election promises. And also for having the courage not to keep these promises.

They exaggerate with warnings to politicians (and their constituents) against excessive taxation and the giving away of government money, they exaggerate with warnings against excessive state debt, they exaggerate with warnings […]
