      closer to 20%, and about as many as opposed EU accesion in the first place. PiS barks a lot but doesn’t want to actually quit because this would eviscerate their support base that does depend on EU funding, like farmers but not only them

        I still have family that lives in the zakopane area. When I talk to them the stuff they say reminds me of trump supporters in USA. Very conspiratorial and I can’t reason with them because they use Facebook sources. Also polling always undercounts these types of people… Once again look at USA. Just my 2 cents but things are getting weird there in Poland.

            Well Poland has progressed greatly, but you did mention that small villages are struggling greatly with the policies since EU integration. Obviously things aren’t as rosy as the economic numbers suggest for Poland since there is a portion of the population that feels left behind

              mate i’m not getting you up to speed with polish politics, sounds like you stopped in PiS-LPR-Samoobrona coalition era, these concerns don’t exist for 20 years

                Oh, maybe? I’m ignorant in politics except from what I hear from my family members there.
