      Poles interested in getting money from the EU but not contributing back isn’t news though

    4. MichalDobak on

      I’m strongly pro-EU and accept that adopting the euro is ultimately inevitable. However, there are currently very little benefits for Poland. The złoty remains relatively strong, and retaining control over monetary policy is too valuable to give up lightly. Adopting the euro would likely have a negative economic impact in the short term, which makes it politically risky, potentially even suicidal, for any government.

      Funny how I bet poles get a lot less hate over not wanting the Euro than brits got even when we were part of the EU

      Because the broad population is brainless. Like everyone who will now downvote with whatever bizzarre argument. If anyone thought for a second “Texas without USD, now what?”, then they’d realise how pathetically provincial, silly and self harming is for Poland (and other EU countries) to refuse the Euro.

      The Poles want the EU to stay out of their business but keep sending them money.

       So far, that tactic is working

      *Me, waiting for the Polish nationalist brigading* : “Has it started yet?”

      Poles are smart in this regard. One of the stupidest things Finland did was join the Euro. Sweden was much smarter than us.

      yeah, anti eu propaganda was very similar by pis and fidesz… right wing populist always bend head over heels to paint the eu as the big evil, except when we look at the numbers it always comes out that we both were net beneficiaries of the eu, and our own currency is holding us back. there is practically one regional exemption: the czech. the czech somehow kept their currency quite closely tied to euro, they managed not to lose much. meanwhile poland and hungary (and romania, and everyone else) was worse off by keeping their currency. there is no need for a huge conspiracy: we are small, period. we all would like to think ourselves as big, but in fact we arent that strong in the world market.

      How about in the other EUR-skeptic nations like Sweden?

    14. Quasarrion on

      In Hungary we say we dont want the euro because we are not stable enough, in Poland they say they dont want it because they are too strong and stable for it. All while ignoring the common european goal to have a common currency which was agreed by every state, but seems like some feel more important than others. Good way to be divided.

      Most Poles also think we can replace the national healthcare with charities while some 1/5 believe they don’t actually pay any taxes.

      The economic literacy in this country is absolutely abysmal, I genuinely wouldn’t count on an average Pole to understand the macroeconomic pros and cons of adopting the euro.

    16. Must_Dragonfruit on

      Any country that adopts the euro is looking at a giant increase in costs as people reprice.

    17. Positronitis on

      It’s not difficult to understand the opposition. People are risk-averse. The Polish economy is growing well at the moment. People don’t want to jeopardize that.

      Once economic growth in Poland is slowing (which it inevitably will at one moment), I think opinions will slowly shift.

    18. bombuszek on

      I would support euro if we adopted common federal tax system and common debt like the US. If not, euro is useless for us because it would enforce this shitty austerity policy.

    19. Bismalz on

      Poland is one of the countries that gained the absolute most, its bizarre

    22. AtlanticPortal on

      That’s not an option for Poland. They have at some point.

      Yes I know you can bend numbers and papers to keep going on for a lot but only two countries had the opt out right. One fucked itself off and the only remained is Denmark which has their crown pegged to the Euro so it’s basically using the Euro in everything but the name.

    23. vanoitran on

      I don’t blame them. In 2017 I went to Poland and while, at the time, the Greek economy was stronger than the Polish economy in a per capita basis, I could tell that the average Pole could afford more than the average Greek.

      I’m not economically savvy enough to know why, but it really seems that Euro adoption is good for the country, bad for the citizen. I’ve seen it in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and in Greece.

    25. Arch8Android on

      Why is the heat about adopting EURO always on Poland and not Sweden or Denmark who have been in the EU longer?

    26. armatka on

      A national currency is a matter of national sovereignty; losing one’s own currency poses a threat to any country. In Poland, we’ve already had the mark, the rouble and the Austrian gulden. No, thank you – we prefer the Polish zloty.

      They should check mortgage rates in euribor countries

    28. BabyPuzzleheaded4437 on

      Our economy is still playing catch-up with Western economies, so until it catches up enough to maintain stable, low inflation and a sustainable level of debt, even if our politicians wanted to change this, they cannot do so because of EU law, which requires low inflation and low debt levels (and the latter is constantly rising, partly due to current military spending), so there are several reasons why this will not happen for the time being, but the two – or rather three – main ones are: a surge in prices and a halt to economic growth at the current level will cause the country to cease developing and remain at its current level, and current EU law, which blocks indebted economies from joining the eurozone. (and, as I wrote, this is blocked by the rearmament of the Polish army)

    29. Freemenace on

      Wow, so many ignorant people here, speaking so surely about a topic they don’t even understand, not even being a Pole. Just “vibes” with you, eh?

    30. Beginning_Emu_6507 on

      It’s not hard to understand when no one can explain the point of giving up the ability to adjust interest rates. Most arguments in favor are just rhetorical flourishes.

    31. dziki_z_lasu on

      The truth is Poland and Czechia didn’t joined the EuroZone, because Slovakia did and it didn’t end well there. Prices skyrocketed and economy slowed down. Greek crisis also made an impression that Euro is beneficial for rich countries, not poor ones.

    32. Wojtek1250XD on

      We’re not ready yet. And with the right-wing dumbasses shutting everything down left and right only to embezzle money I doubt we will be this decade.

    34. GradientExtendedTheo on

      It’s funny how everyone keeps complaining about how expensive Croatia got, but nobody wants to admit that it is due to the Euro adoption. I bet if Croats had a chance to vote on it, they would go back to the Kuna.

      And it’s probably not much different with Bulgaria.

    36. Archaemenes on

      Is the entire Polish population out in full force to support this decision or something?

    37. Flynn317 on

      It is a hm very short term thought. One thing is for sure, EU is not going to hide not going to vanish. Right now one deal after the other is going to be made with the EU and none of them are purely air holes so to say. One possible future is clear to see where everyone can challange all to hear their say and it will never be nationalism, friend 😸

    38. EliteFourCarlos on

      Spanish here. A kid when euro was adopted.
      A jelly/Candy was 5 pesetas. It became 5 cents (8 pesetas).
      What was 100 pesetas became 1€ (166 pesetas)
      Suddenly everything got a 66% inflation excepto salaries.

    40. Adventurous_Touch342 on

      The thing about Euro is that when a country is in a tight spot it can adjust its monetary policy – if you can’t do that you end up getting shafted like Greece.

      Unless Poland becomes at least 85-ish % as strong per capita as Germany joining Euro zone carries many risks with very little benefits.

    42. Lovevas on

      It’s wild to travel to Europe, every time I have to deal with different currencies and languages. My last trip involved 3 currencies and 4 languages. It’s tough.

    43. Effective_Push3271 on

      Same was in Bulgaria but they adopted it anyway 😢😡🤬

      They didn’t even allow us to hold referendum.
