Jarosław Kaczyński

Jarosław Aleksander Kaczyński (Polish pronunciation: [jaˈrɔswaf kaˈʈ͡ʂɨɲskʲi]; born 18 June 1949) is a Polish conservative politician and lawyer. He served as Prime Minister from July 2006 to November 2007. He is the chairman of the right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS), which he cofounded in 2001. He has been the leader of the ruling party since the 2015 elections.

He has a Doctor of Law degree. He is the identical twin brother of the former Polish President Lech Kaczyński. After the 2007 electoral defeat of PiS, Kaczyński stepped down from office as prime minister following the first meeting of the new Sejm.

He ran against Bronisław Komorowski in the Polish presidential election on 20 June 2010, which were called following the death of Lech Kaczyński. Kaczyński announced his candidacy on 26 April 2010, and said he would take the place of his recently deceased brother. He received 36.46% of votes in the first round, while acting president Bronisław Komorowski received 41.54%. In the second round, against Komorowski, he was defeated—receiving 46.99% of the votes, while Komorowski received 53.01% and won.

Jarosław

Jarosław [jaˈrɔswaf] (Ukrainian: Ярослав pronounced [jarosˈlaw], Yiddish: יאַרעסלאָוו‎ Yareslov, German: Jaroslau) is a town in south-eastern Poland, with 38,970 inhabitants, as of 30 June 2014. Situated in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship (since 1999), previously in Przemyśl Voivodeship (1975–1998). It is the capital of Jarosław County.

History

The city was established on 1031 by the Yaroslav the Wise, a grand prince of Kievan Rus'. It was granted Magdeburg rights by Polish prince Władysław Opolczyk in 1375.

The city quickly developed as important trade centre and a port on the San river, reaching the period of its greatest prosperity in 16th and 17th century, with trade routes linking Silesia with Ruthenia and Gdańsk with Hungary coming through it and merchants from such distant countries as Spain, England, Finland, Armenia and Persia arriving at the annual three-week-long fair on the feast of the Assumption. In 1574 a Jesuit college was established in Jarosław.

In the 1590s Tatars from the Ottoman Empire pillaged the surrounding countryside. (See Moldavian Magnate Wars, The Magnate Wars (1593–1617), Causes.) They were unable to overcome the city's fortifications, but their raids started to diminish the city's economic strength and importance. Outbreaks of bubonic plague in the 1620s and the Swedish The Deluge in 1655-60 further undermined its prominence. In the Great Northern War of 1700-21 the region was repeatedly pillaged by Russian, Saxon and Swedish armies, causing the city to decline further.

Famous quotes by Jaroslaw Kaczynski:

"A government that does not have a majority in parliament does not really hold power and that should be changed."

"This was the first conversation, we will hold further meetings."

"Society has made a decision and this should be a signal for the government."

"Russia needs to accept that Poland is an independent player in this part of Europe and no doubt this will be a long and difficult process."

"In our relations with Russia you need to be patient and avoid provocations, but if events like the recent ones take place, you have to tell the truth -- cowardice is only an encouragement."

"What Russia has done recently is surprising and unusually drastic -- I can't remember such practices against diplomats even in Berlin when Hitler was in power."

"Regardless of who will finally win this race between Law and Justice and the Platform, the road to change will be open."

"We have won. Everything indicates that we have won, but this is only the beginning."

"We have long said we want this coalition and there are no reasons why it shouldn't happen."

"Immediately after the official results, we are ready to start talks with the Platform about economic policy. We are deeply convinced that they can be effective."
