@huzary1092 Good and bad is assessed by a subjective measure. Some people, especially dictators, will claim that their measure is the only true objective one which is good for everyone, and who doesn't like it can go f....
In early 2000 Poland was behind the west in many aspects, no question about that. The only thing is, that I don't buy the theory, that all that "Development" is good for everyone. Maybe for elites, sure. I hate what this so called development did to my city, region and the country, but this is a fault of my fellows countrymen, not just some party that is in charge for a couple of years. I am not talking about past 20 yrs, I talk about past century.
While because of urbanization and industrialization every single water way in my region was so poisoned that no llife existed there for decades, In Stockholm every year they organize trout fishing contest on a canal that flows next to a railway, a motorway and few other main roads, in the heart of the city.
I know because I spent a year in Sweden, as an unemployed, looking for job. In the meantime I hang out with local Politicians, attended city hall assemblies and even enjoyed a dinner with some government officials at the parliament.
Later I came back to Poland and tried to be active in my local district. No one will take you serious as a citizen. If you don't show up with a bunch of bullies, they will unceremoniously ignore you, even if you brought golden ideas.
They cannot undergo development without destroying the nature, They cannot go through privatization without robbing the entire nation of how little they had build under socialism, they cannot go through a democratic process without taking people's liberties and excluding minorities from it.
PIS is just another scapegoat, and it is nasty and needs to be thrown down the cliff, but I think problem is somewhere else, and I can't put my finger on it.
