Poland, Europe’s New Economic Powerhouse | ARTE.tv Documentary
Since joining the European Union 20 years ago, Poland has seen steady economic growth. By attracting foreign investments in cutting-edge sectors, the country has transformed. But this golden age could be coming to an end. Poland will not only need to successfully transition away from coal and find a more sustainable source of energy, but also redistribute wealth across the country, which suffers from economic inequality.

Nice documentary.
Lmao pls I’m polish. What a load of bs. I live in the uk
Nice april fools video.
Not true .pools live in uk belgie holland enz
We can only be an economic power if France helps us build atomic plants. GDP doesn't matter. Gross domestic happiness matters and western European countries know about it. Poland to me seems to look up to cruel capitalism, the rule of capital against the wellbeing of workers.
Pierdolenie o Szopenie.
Thanks France Germany and North Europe who giving 89% of Polish growning economy
Honestly i think Poland funded some marketing campaing to portrait it as some utopia paradise and to draw Poles from UK, Germany, Ireland or even USA to go home, because it has one of the worst demographic predictions in the EU. Is Poland growing? Definitely. Is Poland economically close to Germany, Netherlands or Denmark? Not really, its still far behind, it didnt even reach Spain, Slovenia or Italy, it barely overtook Portugal. Does Poland have a lot of major issues that could massively undermine its nice growth in last decade? Definitely. If you check the real numbers and statistics or even ask Poles themselves, its not so beautiful. Poland is somewhere around/bellow EU average in most economical stats. Yet ive never seen more praise videos about any other country in the EU. Why no videos about rich Netherlands or Denmark who much richer yet they still manage pretty solid growth? Or about Romania or Lithuania who were as same poor as Poland in the 90s yet they practically overperformed Poland. Im happy for Poland and wish it well, but this promo campaing and extreme Polish patriotism on social sites is really annoying honestly and a bit forced/artificial if you ask me 😂 When i see these videos im starting to thinking their authors think that Poland will soon overtake Switzerland. So far people over EU praise Poland, but if its promotion will push too far, it will turn into hatred more.
Deutschland schickt durch ihr Instrument EU gerade die Muslime und zwingt die Polen sie aufzunehmen. Deutschland passt auf dass Niemad so hoch kommt in der EU, dass er mitreden darf.
Skończcie pie…lic te dyrdymały .
Stek bzdur propagandowych bo Polska nawet nie przeskoczyła pułapka sredniego dochodu .
And then automation and AI will take most of the jobs.
Go Poland ✨🇵🇱
Przestańcie reklamować Polskę bo będziemy mieli tu to samo co w Europie zachodniej, a my tego nie chcemy. Polska to biedny kraj na dorobku i jeszcze daleka droga przed nami.
Bravo Poland
I think it's false with these 5 million. I think they were 5 billion
Bullsh*t! I’m Polish and don’t watch this propaganda! Polish people are poor as f***!
