In Zloty we trust, don't we?

2014 is a remarkable year for Poland. It is a memory of several steps that made it stronger: 10 years in European Union, 15 years in NATO, and 25 years since the fall of communism.
Today (Economist), 89% of Polish population keep supporting Poland into EU, a bigger percentage in comparison with 2003, when the admission referendum obtained “yes” majority.

Out of the Iron Curtain, Poland was almost in bankruptcy; it had an inefficient agricultural sector, terrible roads, and, generally, basics communication networks. Without any doubts, it was not in a better situation than the close Ukraine.
In the early 90s, economic rigorousness was a hard therapy that in few years helped Poland to face a situation of growth. This policy of austerity was based in market-oriented reforms removing, for instance, control on prices.

From those days, the growth never stopped: it grew and is still growing. Entering EU, it received new vitalities converging to a constant 4% annual GDP growth.
With these trends, GDP per-capita raised from 33% in 1989 to 67% of the European mean in 2014, three times more than Ukraine.
Nowadays, the crucial decision is on the adoption of the European unique currency; joining or not the Eurozone? In 2014, two-third of Polish do not want to accept Euro in their wallets.

Germany, first Polish commercial partner, desires Poland within the Euro zone. The actual party in power, PO (Platforma Obywatelska, Civic Platform), under the guide of the Prime Minister Donald Tusk, even if his tendency is in favour of joining Eurozone, he seems to take time on this matter.

Furthermore, next year there will be the political election turn. Pis (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, Law and Justice), another centre-right party, but more conservative, seems to be able to win this turn. They could prevail considering the wiretaps scandal involving the opposite party, the endorsement of the Polish Catholic Church, and the link the population has with the Kaczyński’s family due to the well-known accident of Smolensk in 2010.

Till now, part of the electorate, of the Church, and of the PiS party support the idea that it was not an accident. They are sure there will be the hand of Mother Russia in the aircraft disaster, but there is no real evidence.
If PiS is the future party in Polish power, their position will be proeuropean, but against Euro. It is all to be seen in the near future.
