Moscow should have no illusions about Tusk, says Russian press
08.11.2007 12:37
The Thursday issue of the Russian daily Viedomosti has expressed doubt as to whether the future PM Donald Tusk’s attitude towards Russia will be any better than that of “the revolting Kaczyński brothers".
According to Viedomosti, in an article titled Walesa’s friend, it reads: "One should not expect Tusk - who differs from the Kaczynskis in his economic liberalism, with a truly European political correctness - to drastically change the direction of his country’s policies".
The newspaper also writes: "Russia - so happy to have seen the demise of the Kaczynski twins - should not have any illusions".
Viedomosti complains that the future Polish PM has avoided a straight answer to the question about the American anti-missile shield installations in Poland and instead, has stated that Russia should expect to see pro-Western policies from Ukraine and Georgia.
The article has also stressed that "despite a few political defeats in the past, the new Polish prime minister can hardly be called a lame duck".
Tusk’s party wants a flat tax.
Europe is in a pretty tight squeeze because of the strong euro. Since they can’t play with the currency, their only recourse is to cut taxes and their welfare state. Eventually europe will make the US look like a socialist country in comparison even without a President Hillary
