Good State Foundation: 1. delight indicate from which political groups and from what social background, after winning the election, the closest co-workers will be selected
The president of the City and with what political and social planning organizations is close cooperation in city management.

Foundation: 2. delight indicate how the Candidate refers to initiatives to grow autonomy
Poland's largest cities at the expense of national authorities. In the opinion of the Candidate, do local governments have besides much or besides small competence in relation to the current situation? Which areas of competence should be expanded and which areas of competence should be reduced?

There are besides fewer competent officials employed to prepare improvement projects, handle cultural, educational and technological events. Increase whether the simplification in employment will consequence from improvement plans, fresh social initiatives, the size and scope of social assistance, etc. 1 thing is certain, with these tasks, which are presently undertaken by Warsaw, these officials are besides much. That could change erstwhile the president becomes the real host of the city.
