You cannot compare Poland to Yugoslavia
Poland is a developed country with homogenic society, so two main tension factors:
-ethnic tensions
-economy crisis
we can cross out...
It was Tito who controlled what’s going on in Yugoslavia, after his death everything broke up...
Our leaders are changing but still we last... In democracy there is no need for authoritarian rulers.
“But Yugoslavia hade all that and much more...”
what more?
Yes, I can compare Yugoslavia with Poland.
- Ethnic tensions were allmost nonexistant before very end of Yugoslavia, most of the tensions were- induced outside of Yugoslavia.
- Break-up of Yugoslavia happened at the peak of economical strenght and just after free-market was introduced, and finances reorganised.
- Spain under Franco , fascist dictator, was multinational and multicultural country, much like Yugoslavia, but surrvived transition from dictatorship to democracy. Belgium and some other EU countries are with ethnical tensions.
