The lyrics of Agnieszka Osiecka's 1963 song about Okularniki continued:

‘Weary, thin,
With diplomas in his pocket,
They leave on trains,
Then they marry their wives.
Then they make ends meet.
For 2 1000 Polish”

It is worth noting that this text was the consequence of a compromise with censorship. Originally the final phrase of the song was: "Then they live in a village in the city, for those Polish 1000 and 2 hundred". Cenzura felt that the amount quoted in the song was besides critical for socialist reality and Agnieszka Osiecka had to reword the lyrics so that it could be performed publicly.

But not everyone at that time “made ends meet.” Danuta Walesa wrote in her autobiographical book years later: “We bought the washing device thanks to the husband winning the lottery again”. And Lech Wałęsa himself said with disconcerting sincerity: “I have always won erstwhile I truly needed it”. Just an amazing fortunate man..

It's been 50 years since then. The standard of surviving in Poland, but above all in Western Europe, has risen significantly. Most don't gotta make ends meet anymore. But it wasn't adequate for many. They were overcome by the temptation to have large money. They utilized to cling to power to get rich. Now the situation has been reversed. Money makes them effort to gain power. To gain power to regulation not just any country, but all Europe, preferably the full world. This is besides the case with erstwhile Belgian Minister for abroad Affairs and Finance and then European Commissioner for Justice Didier Reynders. His transition from finance to justice ruling is symbolic for this process. But not only symbolic, but besides actual. To climb the summits of European power, he needed money, large money. He so bought the destiny of the National Lottery, which he supervised as Minister of the Belgian Government. He bought lots and won. Just an amazing fortunate man..

It is not known how much Wałęsa "invested" in the lottery and what the rate of return was. In the Belgian National Lottery, the average rate of return was 60%. Didier Reynders bought electronic tickets for cash, and the winnings were paid to his digital account in that Lottery. Reynders then transferred the money to his individual account. As the commentators point out, this is simply a popular method of money laundering, and the 40 percent cost of legalising measures of unknown origin is as acceptable as possible. Didier Reynders climbed this road to the summits of European power. According to Belgian media, he was in the close ellipse of the association “Bruno Lussato and Marine Fedier” led by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. It was in Samara that the government TU154-M, which exploded under Smolensk, was renovated in the Deripaska plant. Didier Reynders attacked the Polish Commission for the survey of Russian Influence with large commitment, calling it "tool for political assaultIt’s okay. ” He besides knew a lot about the regulation of law, which is why he frequently hosted politicians like Tusk and Bodnar in Poland.

So the question is, should we be happy to be ruled by specified fortunate ones? And if we don't feel lucky, possibly we should aid this happiness and bet the lottery or buy lottery tickets? But where do we get the money? due to the fact that if the money is not known where to get it. Wałęsa and Reynders knew. Lucky?
