Anna Fotyga appears to be as shown, {The Renaissance Woman} of Poland in foreign affairs as the new, Foreign Minister.
Judging upon her credentials, it would appear as an excellent choice for Poland.
For also as being very attractive, her credentials relay and excellent ability as befitting to her position.

Jaga, it is my pleasure to respond. Anna Fotyga is doing perfectly well as a minister of Rzeczpospolita Polska government, both in the diplomatic protocol and substantial issues. Her actions are perfectly in compliance with the decisions of Rada Ministrów. As such she must be viewed as a very good co-worker of the Prime Minister, the one representing precisely the ideas of the creators of foreign politics.

Bujno,
thanks for the update about Anna. I think, maybe it is better we do not hear about her that much - at least she is not doing anything wrong. By the way, I just saw the article about improving Polish-Russian relations and she was there!

Bunjo, I can't tell from your response what YOUR feelings are about Anna Fotyga. Are you saying that you think she is a puppet of the current government and thus supect or are you giving her a big thumbs up as a citizen for her job performance and think she has been a good represenative of Poland and Polish policies to the world?

Hollister, my feeling about Anna Fotyga are indifferent. She is not the kind of minister that will be remembered for a long time after the serivice is over. The general line of external politics by the PM and President - it is much much better than at the times of postcommunists. I mean the line of politics, and not the way of implementation, which is disappointing. I wish that the other Polish centre-right party - Platforma Obywatelska - would take the steering wheel over. They have at least two perfect candidates for Anna Fotygas post.

Jaga, I could not find any information about her kids on the English or German speaking pages I found on the net. Certainly they will be mentioned in the Polish articles about her which have more information. Interesting replies of Wojtek. Most things I learn from Polish visitors or Polish-Americans with close ties to Poland (the same thing with the Dutch guys who live in Poland or live 50% in Poland and 50% in the Netherlands). They are a better (LIVE) source than Media or Wikipedia, because their information, views and knowledge are actual (fresh), based on empirical experiance. Pieter

They have at least two perfect candidates for Anna Fotygas post. Bunjo, Thank you for your insights - I have a little better handle on your opinion now. So a couple follow up questions. 1) Who are the the two "perfect candidates"? What makes them perfect? Specifically how would they be better in representing Poland? What policies would they promote? And why would those policies be better for Poland and Polish people (in your opinion)? 2) Do you think Tusk is a good leader for Platforma Obywatelska? Should he continue to be the main speaker? As I understand it he had to spend quite a bit of Platforma Obywatelska's capital for his last run for President...does Platforma Obywatelska have the money to make another serious run for the Presidency now ... or is it better for them to wait another couple of years and to (hopefully) put more money in the campaign war chest?

1. Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, Bronis³aw Komorowski. They are both strong personalities, realistic, patriotic, proeuropean and proatlantic experienced politicians. They have the idea of Poland being part of Central Europe, which is close to Western and Eastern Europe, yet a different entity. That's what I think Poland really is, too. I think they might be much more active in creating the ideas and actions.
2. I think that Donald Tusk is the perfect leader of PO at this time. However I am a bit disappointed with their inability to form the government with PIS, which seemed obvious for most PIS and PO voters.

Bunjo, I am not ignoring you or letting this topic drop (I find your insights fascinating). However, I am having trouble finding information on Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, Bronis³aw Komorows. (Once again my feeble polish is not up to the task!). If you could point me to background information or give a quick outline of their positions, I would appreciate it.
In the meantime - you mentioned the idea of Poland becoming part of Central Europe - how do you define "Central Europe?" What makes Central Europe separate from Western Europe? I always cringe when I see Poland listed as part of Eastern Europe. Speaking as an American the label Eastern Europe has definite loaded connotations. For many Americans, the Eastern Europe tag enables some to continue to think of Poland as "backward" or as remaining a socialist puppet-state as they were taught in school. Ironically this might be the most pronounced among a certain segment of the Polish American community - who hold onto an idea of a static Poland still struggling with socialism.
