๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ #Poland's @KancelariaSejmu passes historic resolution to seek #reparations for #WWII losses caused by #Germany.

64% of #Polish people say #Germany should pay reparations for the damage it caused to #Poland during #WWII according to a new Social Changes opinion poll (source: @wPolityce_pl, Sept 4)

The death toll in #WWII was enormous with millions of lives lost.
There was 1๏ธโƒฃ country that suffered disproportionately, it was #Poland ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ

To put this into perspective, let's consider a family 2+2 with 1 living grandparent. In the case of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ this means that by the end of #WWII ๐จ๐ง๐ž family member would have been killed by either a ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช or a ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บโ€ผ๏ธ

During #WWII ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑsuffered the greatest personal&material losses out of all ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ. >5mln ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ lost their lives. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ lost huge opportunities for development. Experts est. losses at $1.3t. These losses have never been compensated

#ReparationsForPoland @arekmularczyk
"๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ's #WWII losses are estimated to be $1.5 mln (as of Dec 2021) and are subject to revaluation. It is thus in ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช's best interest to settle the this debt ASAP so to avoid paying interest & late fees"

The Saxon Palace was one of the most distinctive buildings in prewar #Warsaw. It was destroyed by Germans in #WWII.
A ๐Ÿงต:

#PolishHistory #Poland #ReparationsForPoland #BeLikePoland #unredeemed #ReparationsNow #Paล‚acSaski

The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Army.
After the destruction of the Palace by ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldierโ€“a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑโ€

Less than 4๏ธโƒฃ years after the @BalticPipe_PL construction agreement was signed the #BalticPipe project is about to become operational on Oct 1 & will be filled with as much gas as is needed to make ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ independent from ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ

This is why it's of key importance, a๐Ÿงต:

#BeLikePoland Image
#BalticPipe is a strategic #gas infrastructure project with the goal of creating a new supply corridor in ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ market. The new pipeline will allow transport of gas from ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด to the ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ and ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ markets, as well as to end users in neighboring countries.

#BeLikePoland #EnergyIndependence
Through the pipeline & the ลšwinoujล›cie LNG port, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ would be able to bring in as much gas as the country currently requires โ€“ 17 billion cubic meters a year. As a result, #Poland will not be at mercy of possible blackmail from #Russia.

In 2003 the organizers of ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญOpen gifted @rogerfederer with a ๐Ÿฎ Julliette. "I'm going to learn how to milk it. I'll do anything for it" #Federer said back in the day. But what happened to the famous Moo thereafter? As a proud Permis B holder for years, let me give you the downlow
Roger #Federer quickly renamed his cow Ganga, and he soon became a proud bovine grandfather as Ganga gave birth to a calf. The calf was named Edelweiss. The duo, however, didnโ€™t stay in the #Federer household for long. Ganga was sold at a livestock auction in Gstaad.
Unfortunately the fame didn't last long and in 2005 because of old age and lack of milk, Roger #Federerโ€™s first cow was slaughtered.

๐Ÿš‚ @PKP_SA celebrates its 96th birthday ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ‰ #OTD 26.09 the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ state railways were established.

Here's a little #history๐Ÿงตon its origins (for all #train buffs & railfans)

#PolishHistory #Poland #History #railway #travel #tourism
Although much of the infrastructure within the borders of newly-independent ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ had been destroyed during #WWI, ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ was very quick to reestablish its railways. New lines sprang up allowing for economic development and integration.
The railways and their unification was not an easy task as some had to be rebuilt to standardise tracks across the lands of the former partitions. Finance was also a major issue: foreign capital was sought โ€“ to little avail.

The adoption of the Act of 23 Sept 1922 on the construction of Gdynia port by ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Parliament is considered the formal beginning of the port of Gdynia. The works on its establishment, however, commenced much earlier... ๐Ÿงต

#PolishHistory #History #WW2 #Poland #OTD Image
The favourable int'l situation, the signing of the Treaty of Versailles & the restoration of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ access to the sea constituted an incentive for the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ gov to take action. The needs of the ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ trade were to be secured by the Free City of Gdaล„sk, located within the customs area of ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Image
In 1920 there was aย conflict regarding the blocking of shipment of arms to ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ during war w/๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ, calling ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ warships at port. The need to build the own sea port became apparent. In 1920, Kazimierz Porฤ™bski appointed Mr Wenda, the engineer to choose the place to build aย future port. Image

#OTD, Sept 23, 1939, due to heavy artillery fighting Polish Radio @thenews_PL stopped broadcasting. Before this happened, listeners could listen one last time to a #Chopin concert performed by Wล‚adysล‚aw Szpilman.

Broadcasting the program was no longer possible without electricity from the Powiล›le Power Plant.ย The damage was too extensive to allow for ongoing repairs. The audience had to say goodbye to the radio.
