Poland and Ukraine refuted stereotypes

2012-11-02 14:02

With the Euro 2012 Poland and Ukraine refuted the stereotypes about themselves which were claimed by Western people, but for Poland tourists came less than expected, in the case of Ukraine it is not sure that Ukraine benefits from the championship – the Belgian daily "Le Soir" wrote on Monday.

It indicates that for Poland one of the objectives before Euro 2012 was "to dispel the old stereotype of the gray country and racism and to show it as a country with a modern, dynamic and hardworking." During the championships foreign press opinions "were the most enthusiastic and positive effect on tourism will extend in the coming years" - the daily forecasts.
Quoted by the newspaper inhabitant of Warsaw by the Polish-French descent, says that Euro 2012 is a "great victory for the Poles." "Now Poland dreams of World Championship organization" – the daily strikes in the title.

But - he adds - "in this general admiration, there is a minor note: although definitive data about the number of foreign tourists who arrived in Poland, will be announced no earlier than Tuesday, it is already certain that this is not a million, which is said before the tournament by Minister for Sport Joanna Mucha. This will be number between 480-500 thousand. "

“Now in Ukraine dictionary there is a word “pride”” – it is said by the title of a separate correspondence “Le Soir” from Kiev, which sums up the Ukrainian part of the championship. "After heavy criticism, especially for choosing Ukraine as co-organizer, everything went well” and Euro 2012 “brought a new image of Ukraine” – the daily says.

Caricature of xenophobic and racist country, painted before Euro 2012, now seems to be distant " – “Le Soir” admits and stresses “in Ukraine anyone of the thousands of foreign spectators did not fall prey to serious incident”.

“The organization at airports or camps in the little tourist cities such as Kharkiv and Donetsk – caused gnashing of teeth” – “Le Soir” admits. However, "considering enormous logistical challenges in the general opinion the organization was exemplary” – the daily added.

It also notes that while “Ukraine amounted to Euro 2012 new stadiums, airports, railways, etc., which may help in further development” it will happen under the condition that “it will be the plan to use this infrastructure, but for now it is not”. Thus, "it is too early to conclude whether Ukraine benefited from Euro 2012" – “Le Soir” says.

To sum up it concludes: "For now, the main benefit seems to be restored national pride. Western stereotypes are destroyed." Quoted by the newspaper a young artist named Dmytro said: "We have gained a month without corruption, scandal, pressure militia - the month of democracy," but adds: "I'm not sure if this will continue after the finale, when all foreigners leave the country”

One of the reasons of the downturn in economy growth is the drop in internal consumption. Polish society is getting poorer and people can afford less and less. In the meantime, according to the latest information the growth of salaries of the board of directors in join-stock companies in 2011 increased in 18%, and the growth of salaries of these companies’ chairmen increased in 20 percent. Apparently, there is no social solidarity in Poland. Social differentiation is slowly and systematically deepening. According to data from 2008 – 20 percent of the richest part of Polish society is 5,1 times richer than 20 percent of the poorest part of this country. If we take into consideration data relating to the growth of salaries, the increase in disproportion will be more obvious.
