Kaczynski Concedes Defeat in Polish Election
VOA ^ | 21 October 2007 | VOA news

Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski is conceding defeat as exit polls give a pro-business party a large lead over his ruling nationalists in Sunday's parliamentary elections.

Mr. Kaczynski promised his Law and Order Party will be a strong opposition during the next government.

Civic Platform is a center-right party which has pushed for lower taxes on businesses, a smaller bureaucracy and closer integration into the European economic system. Tusk has said he will seek to withdraw Polish forces from Iraq.

Sunday's election brings to an end two years of conservative rule by Prime Minister Kaczynski and his twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski.

They pushed hard for a stronger Polish voice in the European Union, alienating some EU allies. They also opposed various EU regulations, including those on the environment.

Mr. Kaczynski called Sunday's election two years early when the previous government collapsed because of a corruption scandal.

Christians have every right to educate their children in a way that does not conflict with their faith..

Yes. Therefore they can found a private school in Germany that is according to German laws. If they do not they end up in prison or - dependent on their general behavior - in a nuthouse. Life is hard and unmerciful. Different countries different manners.

BTW - We Europeans are not burdened by those few fundamentalists and their denial to give the right on free information to their kids. We simply ignore them.

Boy, oh boy, you really are madder than a whole stable full of March hares. Your utterly deranged posts as vox-pl are still wery well remembered.

Hopefully you have been seeing a shrink in recent years, who has been able to straighten out your brains.

With my best wishes for your recovery,
Menes
