The past of Poland is rolling - similarities and differences

In 1920, Poland led a defensive war against Russian aggression and a conflict on August 15 in the prefields Warsaw was declared the 18th landmark conflict in the past of the world, which decided to save Europe from the flood of Bolshevikism. erstwhile Poland fought for its independency and freedom for the full of Europe in the Gdańsk port, the transshipment of weapons needed to conduct effective defence was blocked. This dramatic event made the Polish authorities aware of the request to build their own seaport, which would service the defence of Poland and make conditions for its economical development.

September 23, 1922 The Sejm passed a law which Article 1 stated: "The Government is authorised to make the essential arrangements for the construction of a seaport in Gdynia, Pomerania, as a public port of interest’. This law has caused a real media storm. The origin of criticism was primarily the German state. The economical sense of this investment was questioned and German newspapers published in Gdańsk wrote: “Poland, erstwhile joining the construction of the Gdynia Port, wants to deprive Port Gdańsk of its freight tradeIt’s okay. ” In Poland, too, there was no shortage of opponents. It was alleged that the port was to be built in the distant area due to the fact that the fishing village of Gdynia at the time had only 1,268 inhabitants. On August 3, 1923, the text “Construction of the port in Gdynia” was published in the “Dziennik Bydgoszcz”,

in which it says: “Construction of the port in Gdynia is simply a farce not gathering modern requirements. This expansion will burden yearly budgets with billions and It'll last for hundreds of years.. Besides, we know our own way of building. So it's better to quit your own costly and hopeless port construction.“. As you can see, the educator of shame is not a modern invention of the Civic Platform, it already existed a 100 years ago. It is worth noting that the author of the text does not question the thought of building a port itself, but the question of taking on the burden of this investment himself by the Polish State. He suggests that a abroad company should be active in the task in return, and indeed, in return for the return of customs revenue, or major investment gains. due to this perverse argument, the article is worth reading in full, which is why I put his scan at the end of my column.

It was not the only line of criticism for the construction of the port in Gdynia and was not the only alternate task to torpedo the planned venture. A group of "service professionals" proposed to build a seaport in Tczew. The fact that Tczew lies inland “service professionals” considered it an advantage, arguing that from the port it would be closer to possible customers of goods located in central and confederate Poland. The implementation of this curiosistic thought would require the excavation of a deep shipping channel of 28 km dimension connecting Tczew to the sea. This canal would run until it is hard to believe, but it is true, through the “friendly” Poland Free City of Gdańsk.

The past of Poland is rolling. All current criticism of the construction of the CPK is simply a more or little inept copy of the pre-war criticism of the construction of the port in Gdynia. Only a fewer days ago, KC PZPR secretary Marcin Świętcicki argued that it was essential to grow Chopin airport located within the city, so that the residents of Warsaw were closer and did not gotta commute to Baranów. This argument fits into the thought of creating a transhipment hub in Poland under 8 stars, based on a group of 3 airports, in Radom, Warsaw and Modlin. European airports compete to attract as many customers as possible. 1 of the key marketing parameters is the alleged minimum switching time (MCT), defined by the global Air Carriers Association (IATA) as: "the shortest interval required to transfer the passenger and his baggage from 1 flight to another’. Vantaa Airport in Helsinki, which provides 35-minute MCT, ranks first in Europe. The 50-minute MCT declare Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam and Franz Josef Strauß Airport in Munich. The CPK of the coalition's thought on 13 December will be able to declare its MCT at 250 minutes, as the passenger will gotta spend so much time moving from Radom to Modlin and re-transmit all airport procedures related to check-in and check-in. Many tourists will most likely benefit from this possibility, due to the fact that these fewer hours spent in Poland will let them to get to know the country where citizens choose to represent people who have no basic thought of economy and business.

There are many similarities between the pre-war attack on the construction of the port in Gdynia and the current attack on the construction of the CPK. But are there any differences? The difference is that now the Poles entrusted power to people who torpedoed all pro-development investments for Poland, and then, despite disputes and disagreements, leaders were elected, who against abroad agents and all kinds of "useful idiots" (поле́зный идиот)” took up and effectively implemented brave projects and investments. On 29 April 1923, in the presence of president Stanisław Wojciechowski, the port in Gdynia was officially opened. On 13 August 1923, the first merchant ship under the French flag arrived. In 1926, the volume of goods exported by the port in Gdynia amounted to 404,000 tonnes to grow to 7,414,000 tonnes in 1938, which represented 48% of Polish exports. In 1938, nearly 6.5 1000 ships arrived at the port in Gdynia and the population of the city from the first 1,268 inhabitants of the fishing village grew to over 120 000! Eugeniusz Kwiatkowski in his book Disproportion. The thing about past and present Poland" wrote about the port in Gdynia: "This is where he concentrates. the only applicable trade academy in Poland♪ There's an beginning ♪ the most reliable and shortest way to equalise human values in Poland with human values in Western Europe, here coincides the border of cooperation with the nations of the world, here yet all differences of views, all clashes of thoughts and programs across Poland automatically harmonizeIt’s okay. ”

Will the past of Poland be economical ellipse and around the construction of CPK fromAll differences of view, all clashes of thoughts and programs across Poland harmonize? Will the past of Poland turn into a literary ellipse and after 8 years of “wedding” we will now just repeat behind Wyspianski “You had a dumb golden horn.”? It's up to us. Contrary to appearances, it's inactive up to us. But it is time to hurry, due to the fact that the past of Poland is rolling.
