Przemyśl's double life
28 June 2011La Croix Paris
Every year more than a million people visit Auschwitz. In the run-up to International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates the liberation of the camp on 27 January, Télérama wonders: Is this mass tourism not to some extent a profanation of memory? 
As the Polish government prepares to sign the anti-piracy ACTA treaty, thousands of young internet users have taken to the streets in protest. Like most of their fellow Europeans, they fear it may “label their existential choices and free expression of identity as piracy,” explains internet anthropologist Piotr Cichocki. 
Whether it’s the planned European treaty, the S&P downgrade of nine eurozones states or reprimands issued to Hungary, recent events in the EU have highlighted how powerful countries are now imposing their law on their smaller neighbours. Polish columnist Jacek Żkowski aims to set the record straight. 
Why do the Germans and the Poles have a hard time getting along? How does one recognise a Pole? Is there a way to help Germany better "dominate" the EU? A hard to pigeon-hole Polish writer provides some leads. 
With Poland coming to the end of its six month stint at the helm of the EU rotating presidency, the national press discusses the country’s achievements and failures during the period. 
At a 5 December meeting in Paris, Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy agreed on a plan to save the euro from catastrophe, which they will be asking the EU’s 27 member states to approve at a summit on 8-9 December. The European press, however, thinks they’re not out of the woods yet. 
The seas around Europe are threatened by a new source of pollution. Thousands of tonnes of chemical weapons will corrode and start to leak. In the Baltic, the possible consequences are being investigated. 
As the eurozone crisis deepens, the countries outside of it are trying to come up with ways not to lose control of their destinies inside the EU. 
The annual Independence March organised in Warsaw on November 11 by right wing and nationalist groups is likely to grind to a halt this year. The left wing 11 November Coalition is urging its supporters to block the march, and confrontation seems unavoidable.
Mooted eurozone reforms should enhance the single currency’s ability to weather financial crises, but will probably deepen the European Union’s division into an inner core (the eurozone) and the rest, argues a Polish columnist. 
Donald Tusk looks likely to become the first Prime Minister in Poland’s post-communist history to win a second term in office. The Polish press hails the victory of his ruling Civic Platform party, but warns of difficult times ahead. 
On 9 October, the citizens of Poland will vote in general elections in which the choice between the liberals, led by outgoing PM Donald Tusk, and Jarosław Kaczyński’s populist PiS, is also a choice between two radically opposed visions of the state of the country. But no matter who wins, there is a strong chance that the country’s voters will soon be disappointed. 
As the Eastern Partnership summit opens in Warsaw, the EU, which is caught up in the ongoing financial crisis, appears to have little enthusiasm for the project, launched by Poland in 2008. As for the partner countries, they continue to present a wide spectrum of political systems, ranging from dictatorship to democracy.
The crisis has accelerated the emergence of a new social class in Europe. Dubbed "the precariat" by sociologists, it is made up of young people with no prospect of a decent job or a reasonable standard of living. 
With Greece progressively sinking deeper and deeper into crisis amid doubts about the country’s ability to remain in the Eurozone, the European press worries about the national and continent-wide consequences of Greek default, which appears to be increasingly likely. 
More and more Poles are settling in the former East Germany, filling the void left by the flight of East Germans to the West following the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Lidové noviny is calling on Czechs to do the same, and so to help blur the borders of central Europe. 
When it comes to defrauding the EU, every nation has its specialty: the Greeks invented the plastic olive tree, while the Italians came up with virtual oranges. In Poland, phony organic farms are increasingly popular. As Polityka reports, the only problem is that they are perfectly legal. 
The Fukushima accident has greatly reduced interest in nuclear power. But because renewable energies are not sufficient to satisfy the needs of the Old Continent, European nations are turning to the most ancient source of fuel but also the most polluting. 
Since the 1990s hundreds of farmers from all over Europe and from the Netherlands in particular settled in Poland because land was cheap. Warsaw, though, now wants to encourage small local operators by penalising those from abroad. 
Two years ago, led by Poland, the EU launched its Eastern Partnership with countries of the former USSR. Now that Warsaw is preparing to take over the rotating presidency, experts are painting a rather dispiriting outcome for this project. 
With its rapidly changing capital, its new motorways and EU subsidised farmers, Poland is creating a new identity for itself, less pro-American and more and more europhile. A report. 
On 1st July, Poland will take on the rotating Presidency of the EU. Warsaw’s leading weekly argues that the country’s successful political and economic transformation should be an inspiration for crisis stricken Europe. 
Not far from the Ukrainian border, the small Polish town of Przemyśl is one of the eastern gates of the Schengen area. But people on both sides continue to keep up close ties, and small trade thrives under the tolerant eye of the customs officials.
