...years later, shut it down, driving some 1,500 people out of work. Bialowas, who had toiled there for 35 years, believes the factory would still be open if Poland had been run by "honest" men back then - men, she suggests, more like Lech and Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the identical twins who now serve as Poland's President and Prime Minister, respectively, and whose Law and Justice Party (PIS) has governed Poland for the past two years. "I have only good things to say about them," she says...

Meanwhile brother Lech, who occupies a directly elected post, will remain President with influence over foreign...

On Aug. 15 - the same day that Lech Kaczynski paraded alongside columns of tanks and troops to celebrate a great Polish victory over Russian Bolshevik forces in 1920 - the Civic Platform leader Donald Tusk, a prospective Prime Minister, did his own bit for Polish patriotism by trying (unsuccessfully) to enter Belarus to celebrate the holiday with Polish nationals there. Economists, for their part, say that while the Civic Platform is friendlier toward business than the current government, it still may not have the political will...
