  • Zaufanie Do Polityków W Kwietniu
    Warszawa, kwiecień 2013 BS/53/2013 ZAUFANIE DO POLITYKÓW W KWIETNIU Znak jakości przyznany CBOS przez Organizację Firm Badania Opinii i Rynku 11 stycznia 2013 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 Największym zaufaniem Polaków niezmiennie cieszy się prezydent Bronisław Komorowski. W kwietniu1 zaufanie do głowy państwa zadeklarowało 70% ankietowanych, a więc dokładnie tyle samo, co w dwóch poprzednich miesiącach. Na dobrą pamięć Polaków zasłużył, jak się okazuje, były prezydent Aleksander Kwaśniewski, który po wieloletniej przerwie ponownie włączył się w nurt bieżącej polityki, patronując lewicowej inicjatywie Europa Plus. Według deklaracji uzyskanych w pierwszej dekadzie kwietnia 2013 roku, Aleksandrowi Kwaśniewskiemu ufa 54% ankietowanych. Zaufanie do pozostałych osób aktywnych na scenie politycznej kształtuje się na znacznie niższym poziomie. Niezmiennie zaliczający się do ścisłej czołówki naszego rankingu Ryszard Kalisz oraz najlepiej oceniany spośród przedstawicieli rządzącej koalicji szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski cieszą się zaufaniem mniej niż połowy badanych. Wykluczonemu ostatnio z SLD Ryszardowi Kaliszowi ufa 46% respondentów, nieco mniej osób (43%) deklaruje zaufanie do szefa polskiej dyplomacji. Kolejne miejsca na liście najczęściej obdarzanych zaufaniem polityków zajmują: lider SLD Leszek Miller (36%), wiceprzewodniczący PO Grzegorz Schetyna (35%), premier Donald Tusk i przewodniczący Solidarnej Polski Zbigniew Ziobro (po 34% deklaracji zaufania) oraz prezes PiS Jarosław Kaczyński (33%). Nieco rzadziej z zaufaniem respondentów spotykają się inni prominentni politycy rządzącej koalicji: minister sprawiedliwości Jarosław Gowin (31%), marszałek Sejmu Ewa Kopacz (30%) oraz szef PSL, wicepremier i minister gospodarki Janusz Piechociński (28%). Prawie jedna czwarta badanych ufa liderowi NSZZ „Solidarność” Piotrowi Dudzie (24%) i niemal tyle samo (23%) deklaruje zaufanie do szefa sejmowego zespołu ds.

  • In Annual Speeches of the Republic of Poland Ministers of Foreign Affairs After 2001
    Przegląd Strategiczny 2017, nr 10 Piotr POCHYŁY DOI : 10.14746/ps.2017.1.12 University of Zielona Góra THE CONCEPT OF “SECURITY” IN ANNUAL SPEECHES OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AFTER 2001 The purpose of the publication is to present how the concept of security has been de- fined in annual speeches of Poland’s foreign ministers after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Research problem: the impact of the international situation on ways of ensuring Po- land’s security in the annual speeches of Polish foreign ministers. Apart from the as- pect of classically understood security, the analysis also covers modern categories of security that is economic, public, ecological, energy or food security. The temporal range is from 2001 to 2017. Following the definition in the Polish Language Diction- ary published by PWN I define “security” as “the state of non-threat” (Bezpieczeństwo, 2017). * * * Every year foreign ministers of Poland give their annual speeches – officially known as the Information of the Foreign Minister on the goals of foreign policy, in which they define priorities, characterize challenges, and present corrections to the policy. Sometimes it is just an ordinary fulfilment of the obligation, which does not provoke greater conflicts or reflections and is presented in the nearly empty hall, but since 2010, after the plane crash near Smolensk, there have been very exciting debates connected with disputes in the Parliament (speeches given by Radosław Sikorski between 2011–2014), also in connection to responsibility for state security. The speeches which were urgent responses to events in the world (Sikorski, 2014) and the ones that were given when new governments came to power: (Cimoszewicz, 2002; Meller, 2006; Sikorski, 2008; Sikorski, 2012; Waszczykowski, 2016) will be particularly relevant to the search for answers to the research problem because apart from presenting current issues the ministers were obliged to discuss four-year for- eign policy assumptions.

    Ms Viviane Reding Vice-President of the European Commission Commissioner for Justice, Fundamental Rights and Citizenship B-10409 Brussels Belgium 10 September 2013 Dear Vice-President Reding Pre-trial detention in the EU As the European Commission, Council and Parliament have recognised, ‘excessively long periods of pre-trial detention are detrimental to the individual, can prejudice cooperation between the Member States, and do not represent the values for which the European Union stands’.1 We are writing to you now to follow-up on the European Union’s work to tackle this problem and to urge the Commission to continue its work in this area beyond the current legislative programme, including developing a timeframe for tabling a legislative proposal setting common minimum standards for the use of pre-trial detention in the EU. We understand that the European Commission is at this stage intending to focus on monitoring the implementation of three Framework Decisions: the European Supervision Order (ESO); the Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision; and the Framework Decision on the application of mutual recognition to judgments and probation decisions and is not currently proposing legislation. We take note of this emphasis on effective implementation but would highlight that only one of the three Framework Decisions, the ESO, has the potential to impact on pre-trial detention. While it may go some way to alleviating problems faced by non-nationals by enabling them to return home while awaiting trial, even this is very limited in scope. In addition, the three Framework Decisions are all pre-Lisbon measures and the European Commission therefore currently has no enforcement powers if problems with their implementation are identified.

This letter has been coordinated by the Embassy of Ireland in Poland. On the occasion of this year’s Warsaw Equality Parade, we express our support for efforts to raise public awareness of issues affecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community and other communities in Poland facing similar challenges. We also acknowledge similar efforts in Częstochowa, Gdańsk, Łódź, Katowice, Konin, Kraków, Opole, Poznań, Rzeszów, Szczecin, Toruń and Wrocław. We affirm the inherent dignity of each individual as expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Respect for these fundamental rights, which are also enshrined in OSCE commitments and the obligations and standards of the Council of Europe and the European Union as communities of rights and values, obliges governments to protect all citizens from violence and discrimination and to ensure they enjoy equal opportunities.
