Poland on Orbán’s Lap

Marek Tatala and FOR/February 8, 2018February 10, 2018 /Leave a comment

It is Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán who is to defend the Law and Justice (PiS) government against the consequences of violations of the rule of law in Poland. These violations have led eventually to the reactions set out in the EU treaties. The Polish ruling party can blame only itself.

Poland: Decent Patriots Should Stop Marching with Racists and Nationalists

Marek Tatala and FOR/November 29, 2017November 30, 2017 /Leave a comment

I am surprised that “mostly young people and families” and other people who do not support racism, xenophobia, hatred towards “the other”, nor aggressive radical nationalism, still march with people who support these ideas. They can always celebrate the Independence Day in a different way.

Economic Freedom Against Poverty and Authoritarianism

Marek Tatala and FOR/October 17, 2017October 16, 2017 /Leave a comment

We sometimes hear that the only type of liberalism we need today is “political liberalism” while classical liberal ideas in the economy can be neglected. The view that we need only political freedom, without a broad range of economic freedoms, is not isolated and requires a response.

REVIEW #4: Economic Costs of Populism – Poland Should Learn from Greek Mistakes

Marek Tatala and 4liberty.eu/April 13, 2016 /Leave a comment

The primary goal of populist politicians is to capture (or rather to “buy”) political support, win elections or keep political power. Therefore, they do not use tools necessary to bring long-term prosperity to the people but rather take advantage of whatever can guarantee them short-term political gains.

Poland After the Elections: Risk of Growing State Intervention

Marek Tatala/November 3, 2015November 3, 2015 /Leave a comment

Hopefully, PiS will moderate its economic programme after the election and renounce some of its harmful pre-election promises. If the new government decides to choose the “Orbánisation” path it will be harmful for Poland, the region and the EU

Marek Tatala/July 2, 2015August 29, 2017 /Leave a comment

The dramatic upsurge of CHF/PLN exchange rate in mid-January 2015 triggered in Poland a wave of discussion on the situation of people with mortgages in Swiss currency and who should be deemed responsible for such a state of affairs.
