Zaufanie Do Polityków W Lutym Warszawa, luty 2011 BS/21/2011 ZAUFANIE DO POLITYKÓW W LUTYM Znak jakości przyznany CBOS przez Organizację Firm Badania Opinii i Rynku 4 lutego 2010 roku Fundacja Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej ul. Żurawia 4a, 00-503 Warszawa e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] http://www.cbos.pl (48 22) 629 35 69 W lutym1 największym zaufaniem Polaków niezmiennie cieszy się prezydent Bronisław Komorowski. Ufa mu – według ich własnych deklaracji – prawie dwie trzecie respondentów (65%). Dystans między prezydentem, a pozostałymi uwzględnionymi w naszym badaniu przedstawicielami sceny politycznej jeszcze się powiększył. Nieco inny niż miesiąc temu jest też układ sił na kolejnych pozycjach naszego rankingu. Drugie miejsce wśród najczęściej obdarzanych zaufaniem przedstawicieli sceny politycznej zajmuje Grzegorz Napieralski (51%), który pod względem liczby pozytywnych ocen wyprzedził premiera Donalda Tuska oraz szefa MSZ Radosława Sikorskiego (po 47% deklaracji zaufania). Awans na drugie miejsce przewodniczący SLD zawdzięcza jednak przede wszystkim pogorszeniu ocen obu polityków, przy utrzymujących się dobrych własnych notowaniach. Mniej osób, około dwie piąte badanych, deklaruje zaufanie do wicepremiera i szefa resortu gospodarki Waldemara Pawlaka, prezesa NBP Marka Belki oraz Leszka Balcerowicza (po 41% deklaracji zaufania). Niemal tyle samo respondentów ma zaufanie do minister zdrowia Ewy Kopacz (40%), nieco mniej do przewodniczącego międzyresortowej komisji ustalającej przyczyny katastrofy smoleńskiej – szefa MSWiA Jerzego Millera (37%). Zaufaniem nieco ponad jednej trzeciej respondentów cieszą się marszałek Sejmu Grzegorz Schetyna (35%) oraz doradca prezydenta Tomasz Nałęcz (34%). Kolejne miejsca w lutowym rankingu zajmują: minister obrony Bogdan Klich (29% deklaracji zaufania), przewodniczący Rady Gospodarczej przy Prezesie Rady Ministrów Jan Krzysztof Bielecki, liderka PJN Joanna Kluzik-Rostkowska (po 28% wskazań) oraz prezes PiS Jarosław Kaczyński (27%). Co czwarty badany darzy zaufaniem marszałka Senatu Bogdana Borusewicza (25%) i prawie tyle samo ufa szefowi doradców premiera Michałowi Boniemu. Mniejszym zaufaniem – około jednej piątej badanych – cieszą się Antoni Macierewicz, którego nazwisko po kilkumiesięcznej przerwie ponownie uwzględniliśmy w lutowym badaniu, minister sprawiedliwości Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, szef resortu finansów Jacek Rostowski, a także wicemarszałek Sejmu z ramienia SLD Jerzy Wenderlich. 1 Badanie „Aktualne problemy i wydarzenia” (249) przeprowadzono w dniach 3 – 9 lutego 2011 roku na liczącej 1002 osoby reprezentatywnej próbie losowej dorosłych mieszkańców Polski. - 2 - Tabela 1.

Zaufanie do nich deklaruje po 12% ankietowanych. Niewiele większym zaufaniem cieszą się, nieznany większości badanych prokurator generalny Andrzej Seremet (14%) oraz znacznie częściej rozpoznawana, ale postrzegana wyraźnie krytycznie minister pracy Jolanta Fedak (15%). Niezmiennie największą nieufność wśród Polaków budzi prezes PiS Jarosław Kaczyński. Nie ufa mu ponad połowa badanych (56%). Z dużą nieufnością spotyka się także Antoni Macierewicz (41%). W ocenach obu tych polityków nieufność zdecydowanie przeważa nad zaufaniem. Podobnie jak w ubiegłych miesiącach trzecie miejsce pod względem liczby krytycznych ocen zajmuje premier Donald Tusk. Nie ufa mu co trzeci badany (34%). Nieco częściej krytycznie odbierani są ponadto minister zdrowia Ewa Kopacz oraz minister infrastruktury Cezary Grabarczyk (po 28% wskazań), w którego ocenie – inaczej niż w przypadku premiera i minister zdrowia – dominują noty negatywne. Wydarzenia ostatnich tygodni nie sprzyjały korzystnym ocenom polityków. Pogorszyły się notowania zarówno przedstawicieli rządu jak i opozycji. Do wyjątków należą politycy, którzy zyskali w ocenie badanych. O dużej poprawie notowań można mówić jedynie w przypadku szefa MSWiA Jerzego Millera. W porównaniu ze styczniowym pomiarem, realizowanym jeszcze przed opubliko- waniem raportu MAK, rozpoznawalność tego polityka wyraźnie wzrosła (o 8 punktów procentowych). W jeszcze większym stopniu (o 10 punktów) wzrósł odsetek badanych, którzy darzą go zaufaniem. Są to najlepsze z dotychczas rejestrowanych oceny Jerzego Millera. Minimalnie zyskał słabo wciąż rozpoznawany minister sprawiedliwości Krzysztof Kwiatkowski. Odsetek mających do niego zaufanie jest obecnie wyższy o 3 punkty procentowe.

  • Evaluation of the Partnership for Democracy in Respect of the Parliament of Morocco
    http://assembly.coe.int Doc. 13807 08 June 2015 Evaluation of the partnership for democracy in respect of the Parliament of Morocco Report1 Committee on Political Affairs and Democracy Rapporteur: Mr Bogdan KLICH, Poland, Group of the European People's Party Summary The report is a follow-up to Resolution 1942 (2013) whereby the Assembly resolved to continue reviewing the implementation of the partnership for democracy with the Parliament of Morocco, and to make a new assessment within two years. It takes stock of the state of political reform in the country and of the respect of political commitments undertaken in the framework of the partnership. The report makes an overall positive assessment of the results achieved, and welcomes the fact that the partnership has been instrumental in launching and developing crucial reforms in a number of key areas, and in triggering multi-faceted co-operation between the Council of Europe and Moroccan institutions. The partnership must remain an important tool aimed at streamlining the programme of reforms and increasing the role and responsibility of the parliament in this process. In this context, the report notes that the pace of legislative and institutional reforms needs to be stepped up so as to implement fully the ambitions of the 2011 Constitution. More efforts are needed, on the part of the Moroccan Parliament, to make progress towards the abolition of death penalty, preventing human rights violations, and ensuring equal opportunities for women and men. The report suggests that the Parliamentary Assembly should continue reviewing the implementation of political reforms in Morocco and offering its assistance to the Moroccan Parliament, and make a new assessment of the partnership when appropriate.

  • Long-Range Ballistic Missile Defense in Europe
    Long-Range Ballistic Missile Defense in Europe Steven A. Hildreth Specialist in Missile Defense Carl Ek Specialist in International Relations September 23, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34051 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Long-Range Ballistic Missile Defense in Europe Summary In early 2007, after several years of internal discussions and consultations with Poland and the Czech Republic, the Bush Administration formally proposed deploying a ground-based mid- course defense (GMD) element in Europe of the larger Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) to defend against an Iranian missile threat. The system would have included 10 interceptors in Poland, a radar in the Czech Republic, and another radar deployed in a country closer to Iran, all to be completed by 2013 at a reported cost of at least $4 billion. The proposed European BMD capability raised a number of foreign policy challenges in Europe and with Russia. On September 17, 2009, the Obama Administration announced it would cancel the Bush- proposed European BMD program. Instead, Defense Secretary Gates announced U.S. plans to develop and deploy a regional BMD capability that can be deployed around the world on relatively short notice during crises or as the situation may demand. Gates argued this new capability, based primarily around current BMD sensors and interceptors, would be more responsive and adaptable to growing concern over the direction of Iranian short- and medium- range ballistic missile proliferation. This capability would continue to evolve and expand over the next decade. This report is updated for Senate consideration of the defense appropriations bill (H.R.

It was not only political rights » that were violated but social, economic and cultural rights as well. These viola- tions are constant and conditioned by the authoritys voluntary policy, with Lu- kashenka at its head. At the same time, human rights violations are not merely VIASNA a side-effect of the authoritarian state control; they are deliberately used as a « means of eradicating political opponents and creating an atmosphere of intimi- dation in the society. The negative dynamics is characterized by the growth of the number of victims of human rights violations and discrimination. Under these circums- tances, with a high level of latent violations and concealed facts, with great obstacles to human rights activity and overall fear in the society, the growth points to drastic stiffening of the regimes methods. Apart from the growing number of registered violations, one should men- Human Rights Center tion the increase of their new forms, caused in most cases by the development of the state oppressive machine, the expansion of legal restrictions and ad- ministrative control over social life and individuals.

  • General Performance of the Polish Presidency
    117 GENERAL PERFORMANCE OF THE POLISH PRESIDENCY Piotr Maciej Kaczyński* The Treaty of Lisbon has made the rotating Council Presidency politically irrelevant. Before December 2009, national leaders controlled the activities of the Council, and the relationship between the Council and the Parliament favoured the Council much more than after December 2009. On the one hand, under the new rules the Council has lost political weight and is now balanced in almost all its activities by the European Parliament. The European Council, on the other hand, has largely taken political clout over from the Council Presidency, as it now has its own permanent president, and there is no special role left for the rotating Presidency. On top of these things, not only have the Council powers regarding other institutions been limited, but also within the Council the rotating Presidency has been limited by the permanent chair of the Foreign Affairs Council and many of the subsidiary working parties and committees. Because of all these limitations, the rotating Presidency is no longer a Union Presidency. If this concept was not yet fully visible before the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second semester of 2011, then the Polish experience was very telling. Poland is a larger EU member state; it was committed to the preparations for the Presidency for a number of years and had a dedicated political and administrative leadership. The Polish officials executed the Presidency effectively although they were doing it for the first time. And still, they fell short with political weight. Their leverage over the European Council was similar to every other country’s leverage over the European Council.
