At a time erstwhile the Polish budget is in debt with astronomical velocity of PLN 1 billion per day, hospitals are bankrupt and do not accept patients, agriculture, transport and manufacture are falling, the Tusk government has a completely different priority. It is about implementing the alleged "National Anti-Semitism Strategy". Despite the crisis, the authorities have found money to fund a abroad judaic culture and to further combine the tightening of the censorship bolt.
It is not known from now on that the priorities of the Tusk government are at the second pole of what average Poles need, overwhelmed by the scale of expensiveness, bureaucracy and failure of the wellness system. This time, the Undersecretary of State with the beautiful Polish surname "Ejchart" announced that the government intends to adopt a five-year strategy to strengthen judaic life in Poland by 2026, in the face of "a increasing number of hatred incidents".
Maria Ejchart said this during the yearly conference of the European judaic Association (EJA) in Krakow. This organisation is based in Brussels and represents the general judaic interests in Europe. – Last week, a draft resolution by the Council of Ministers on the adoption of a national anti-Semitism strategy and support for judaic life for the years 2025–2030 was included in the List of Legislative and Programming Works of the Government – announced before about 200 delegates of the judaic community and politicians of COPIS.
The plan, which provides for budget allocation and sets priorities, is presently under consultation and Ejchart expressed the belief that it would be adopted as a precedence later this year.
Interestingly, during the EJA conference, State Secretary Wojciech Kolarski read to the participants the welcome speech of president of Poland Karol Nawrocki, who emphasized the similarities between the past of Poland and Jews, including during the Nazi business in Poland. As we can see, the president is besides active in this work of financing abroad culture by Poles.
As we read on government page:
"National strategy to combat anti-Semitism and support judaic life is simply a programming paper defining priorities for government activity in the area of anti-Semitism. The task was developed by MS with the participation of the Ministry of abroad Affairs, MEN, MNiSW, MKDiN, MSiT, university scholars and the National Institute of Freedom. It's not legislative.
Project objectives:

VI. Strengthening the Memory of Holocaust and Polish Jews
1. Support for social and educational initiatives to commemorate Jews and the Holocaust.
2. Holocaust investigation and global Cooperation".
As we can see, although the description indicates that the paper is allegedly "not legislative", its aim is, inter alia, to increase the effectiveness of punishing and countering anti-Semitic offences at the level of the Police and the Prosecutor's Office and the judiciary. This is evidently absurd, but yet in line with the logic of this government, which amends the laws by regulations.
Roman Fritz commented on the matter. ‘What do you think belongs to the priorities of the Polish government? Fight for demography, economy, prosperity? Yes, but not Polish, but Jewish. In front of you government strategy to counter anti-Semitism and support judaic life for the years 2025 – 2030′′ – He wrote on X.
Unfortunately, for the time being, what amounts from the Polish taxpayer's pocket are to be paid on the described support of judaic culture, education about the “holokaust” and prosecution of Poles for alleged “anti-Semitism”. There is no doubt, however, that this is about a large million zlotys.
As we can see, alternatively of solving serious problems of average Poles, e.g. those with wellness care, authorities fund grants for judaic culture and further persecution of Poles for words of fact about judaic past and politics. In the current situation of a increasing crisis in many areas of social and economical life, specified actions as are allegedly intended to counter the alleged "anti-Semitism" are hailing it. People aren't blind and see what's going on. Rebellion slow builds up and yet sweeps out the Polack's "twice".
