Poland needs to reconsider its mistakes. But more than that, it needs a consensus based on truth.

The state is not working properly. It must be rebuilt and cleansed.

I taught for 30 years at university but never in circumstances like this.

We are already seeing problems from the introduction of the euro. At the moment it's mainly Italy that's complaining, but there's nothing surprising in that, seeing how standards of living have fallen there since the currency was brought in.

The question of the euro should be resolved through a referendum, which could take place in 2010.

We must turn the country around to face its citizens. The scale of the repair will be so great that Poland will become a new republic.
