– Times were different, ladies and gentlemen. We were erstwhile on track, today, thankfully, we are 1 of the richer countries of the European Union and we can afford to invest in our own manufacture – said the candidate for president for KO Rafał Trzaskowski on Tuesday in Częstochowa.
Trzaskowski: We don't request a state like the Ukrainian 1 years ago
– We can afford to support our entrepreneurs. And that's precisely what we gotta do today. due to the fact that if we want to be safe, we gotta become self-sufficient. And we must be ready to make decisions that will supply us with self-sufficiency, which will supply us with strength, and which will supply us with security," explained the politician.
As he pointed out, many of his competitors are talking about the request for economical patriotism today. – The problem is that fewer people can do that. due to the fact that present we do not request a state like the Ukrainian 1 years ago, namely the oligarchs or the large corporations that are looting citizens," said Trzaskowski.
– We request a cleverly planned reinforcement of manufacture and our own entrepreneurship. present we request to make it clear that if we want to be safe, we request to invest in our manufacture – the current president of Warsaw believes.
Let us remind that oligarchy has been 1 of the main problems of Ukrainian public life for years. A tiny group of billionaires – specified as Rinat Achmetov, Ihor Kolomojski and Dmytro Firtas – gained tremendous influence after the collapse of the USSR, taking over key sectors of the economy and building media empires. Thanks to wealth and connections, oligarchs have influenced election results for decades, set governments and controlled media transmission.
Several years ago, however, Ukrainian authorities announced the fight against oligarchy and adopted a law limiting their influence, but experts indicate that real deoligarchization is inactive under way.
The war against Russia weakened any oligarchs, but their political and economical importance did not disappear. The future of Ukraine as a democratic state will depend, among another things, on whether it will yet be possible to break the dependency system.
