But he got the economy roaring ahead, stopped the mass emigration (Poland now issues more work visas than any other EU state) started the welfare state, kicked out all Moscow-trained military and diplomats, started rearmament — Abrams and F35s are coming, doubling the army — brought in large tax cuts, shut down the humungous Russian mafia fuel smuggling that Prime Minister Donald Tusk supported ($25 billion for the Kremlin), and has pushed forward major and long overdue infrastructure investments.
Previously, Poland had to put up with obviously fake economic stats, no social security and astonishingly positive media coverage … as two million Poles headed for the door.
Global media coverage of Poland comes mainly from one news stable — Adam Michnik, the brother of a Stalinist hanging judge (Stefan - Google him). So, take every media article with a huge pinch of salt. The editor of the Economist, for example … she helped keep the Commies in power after the fall of Communism!! Zanny Minton-Beddoes. Nothing is as it seems.
