long greek
Who lent the Greeks the most money? It was German banks, and for a long time, they were profiting from it quite nicely.
strong mean army
Germany's potential makes up about 20% of the EU's overall economic power, including Great Britain. The German army is by no means strong enough to guarantee the security of the EU's two endangered flanks - in the east and in the south. So all that remains for Germany is partnerships with its neighbours and other EU member states. Germany should stick to that role.
past past-and-present equal
The Germans are indeed the economically and politically strongest power in Europe. But their superiority does not equal the past and present superiority of the Americans.
war army world
There are historic examples where a soft domination of certain states worked well. For instance the US, who dominated the Western alliance after World War II - with a giant army, an enormous population, and its globally superior economic power. This role is quite different for Germany today.
today common financial
Concerning the common currency: today, the euro is not worth it for Poland. The reason why we survived the financial and economic crisis quite well is that we have a national currency. This will not change in the near future.
responsibility
The EU treaties clearly promote an alliance of national states that, as far as possible, maintain their own responsibilities. There is no mention of a centralized state of Europe in the treaties. The EU Commission's politicking, however, is proof of a certain allergy against this principle of national states and national responsibilities.
More or less Europe - that's the wrong alternative! What we need is less centralism.
country party leader
There is no "ruler" in our country. Poland is a democracy. Our Prime Minister leads the government; the President is fulfilling his tasks. But there is a little bit left for the party leader.
believe create hope manage realistic reasons
I hope we will manage to create a coalition. I have reasons to believe this is a realistic perspective.
government hold majority parliament power
A government that does not have a majority in parliament does not really hold power and that should be changed.
convinced deeply economic official platform ready start talks
Immediately after the official results, we are ready to start talks with the Platform about economic policy. We are deeply convinced that they can be effective.
