- Secondly, Poland remains heavily reliant on continued capital inflows and EU structural funds.
Poland has received more than €100 billion ($115 billion) in EU funds that have helped transform the country since it joined the bloc in 2004.
imho that economic inequity will not last very long. it did not last very long in east germany’s case. this illustrates again the dynamic nature of the EU political scene. Poland is at present heavily catholic. What happens when the the full effect of the muslim diaspora occurs? which way is poland most likely to choose to go? i do not know for certain but i wonder if it is a sure bet that poland will eventually blend in with support for muslim immigration that is in evidence elsewhere in the EU. I do not see the EU as being monolithic but fractured along several potential and actual lines of cultural and economic differences.
