The Polish Government Continues To Punish Perceived Enemies
The Polish Government is destroying the existing experience base just as the United States destroyed the existing experience base in Iraq and created an almost unmanageable reconstruction program. Former President Lech Walesa commented that when the Kaczynski brothers worked for him they destroyed first with little regard to planning about what would replace that which they destroyed. "His approach is to first destroy and then think about what to build," Mr. Walesa said of the country's current president, Lech Kaczynski.
The Kaczynski government is attempting to change the civil service law so that they can change the people at the top of companies by replacing these people with people with political connections to the Kaczynski government. See Articles Below
The Kaczynski government is moving forward on a change to a vetting law that will affect so many people that it seems that the vetting system will be overburdened. At the same time, with the opening of the files to the public, there will be a great deal of difficulty experienced by many people - rightly or wrongly. This is sure to create turmoil in many parts of society. And it is likely to eliminate many experienced people from positions that they now occupy.
The people that are now in the positions that Kaczynski wants removed are the people that have moved Poland forward very well in the recent past. The destruction of this experience base may leave Poland in the same condition that Iraq is now as far as it concerns bureaucratic chaos.
Already some people are saying that there is a great deal of confusion in companies where management was changed. For example in the state lottery where a chairman was not appointed for months, the revenues dropped by 20 percent because of confusion. http://www.masterpage.com.pl/outlook/200604/rebuiltordestroyed.html See Will Poland be rebuilt or destroyed
