This is what the Germans envy us. Tusk publishes a special recording

Prime Minister Donald Tusk posted a video on his social media in which he refers to the publication of the Swiss daily Neue Zurcher Zeitung (NZZ). Its author writes with appreciation about Poland, emphasizing, among other things, that our economy is catching up with the German economy.

– You always say that we don’t know how to brag. That’s true, but why do we have the Swiss? Their newspaper, Neue Zurcher Zeitung, wrote that Germans say: “We need more Warsaw in Berlin. The German economy finds a new role model in Poland.”– says the head of the Polish government in the recording.

– What do the Germans lack that they envy us? Growth, courage in action, digitalization, deregulation. You can? You can. So we’re chasing the Germans – he added.

A Swiss newspaper praises Poland

According to Money.pl, the largest Swiss daily, writes, among other things, that for years Germany has looked at Poland – both in terms of politics and economy – with a slight dose of conceit.

– On one side, the European growth engine, on the other, a post-communist poor man. German self-awareness was based on this opposition long after the fall of the Eastern Bloc – estimates NZZ.

The Swiss newspaper writes that “the times of superiority are over” and the fact that Poland began to redefine itself was ignored by our neighbors for a long time. Currently, the German growth engine has stalled, and the former “poor guy” is catching up with its competitors. Poles are becoming more and more confident in their contacts with Germans. On the political level, this sometimes leads to tensions, as in the case of reparations claims, but in the economy, relations are pragmatic.

The author of the publication cites data showing that the economic growth rate in the Vistula region has been exceeding the EU average for two years, and this year it is expected to amount to 3.3%.
