Youth leaving Poland causing a "brain drain"
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Because of the political instability, high unemployment and corruption scandals in the current Polish government, many youth are leaving Poland for more Western countries in the European Union, causing a subsequent brain drain.
With the Polish parliamentary elections due on September 25, café babel asks Mateusz Tomala from the conservative Law and Justice Party youth wing for his opinion on the so-called brain drain of young talent from Poland.
Mateusz Tomala, a Polish patriot High unemployment and corruption scandals plaguing the current left-wing coalition government mean that, come October, a right-wing coalition of the Law and Justice (PiS) and Civic Platform (PO) parties is likely to be in power.
Mateusz Tomala, an active member of the PiS youth wing, the Youth Forum, tells us why young Poles are leaving their homeland and what can make them come back.
I often encounter my peers claiming that they don't need to stay here, that they hate this country, that they don't know what they are doing here.
But I don't consider the European Union to be the reason for this and - at the same time - any threat.
In Poland, if you have some useful connections, acquaintances or family bonds you will get a job - no matter if you lack the necessary qualifications.
Politicians need to persuade these people to stay by ensuring a decent life for them in Poland, for example by creating new job opportunities, and increasing salaries for academics and scientists so that they perform their research here, in Poland.
We can compare [this exodus] to a large extent with the mass emigration of Poles to USA in the 1980s.
I think that the reason for such a decision is caused by the lack of patriotism among young people.
We need a good, clever government to provide incentives (such as scholarships) for young, ambitious Poles to remain in the country and to support Polish enterprise.
