Trybuna Ludu criticized the Gomulka regime for being too much influenced by "revisionist" economists, denounced the type of market economy now being introduced in other Socialist countries. And Polityka, a magazine with a large readership among young party members, bemoaned the considerable age gap between leading party officials, many of whom are in their sixties, and the rest of the country-40% of whose people have not yet reached their 19th birthday...
