The Polish Foreign Minister raises some interesting questions about Germany's options in the current crisis (including action vs. no action) and what each means to the rest of Europe & the world. However, he did not venture into consideration of what might be driving various German thought leaders. A recent article in the Washington Times fearlessly explores this subject. Here is the link: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/dec/15/merkel-ends-the-postwar-era/

Would you use the same labels for Fides in Hungary? Anti-EU? Anti-Brussels? Anti Russian? Nationalist? These are labels one hears if one questions the soundness of some of European Commission's policies or some bilateral relations promoting own national interest above those of all EU members. Nord Stream is an example. It could have been agreed upon and negotiated with Russia with a win-win result. Now it is a suspicious bypass of Central and Eastern democracies with many national security concerns. Poland (and Central and Eastern Europe) is part of Europe. It is an open market and an organism that both takes and gives. Remove it from the system and you be able to judge how much is given and how much taken. Voting for PiS has as many advantages and disadvantages as voting for PO or any other party. Is our government's slogan "more EU as a cure for EU crisis" a sound one? If it means loosing competencies by particular governments on behalf of a super-structure and building up EU debt to pay debts - it is dangerous.

One question what is Pis's programme lots of vague promises but nothing concrete, a lot of populism do Poles realise the cost of electing PIS will mean isolation in Europe, higher taxes and zus to pay for there policies? Do they realise investment from abroad will disappear jobs will be lost if they elect anti foreigner, anti everyone anti business PIS,. Prime ministers need to be fit mentally and physically to run a country Kaczynski is neither and politically bankrupt as well
