Poles Say No to Euro

No Euro

No Euro

The number of people supporting Poland quickly joining the Euro zone is dropping significantly. According to GfK Polonia only 17% of Poles want Euro to be Poland’s currency. It appears that due to the financial crisis, Polish people are sceptical about the Euro. Donald Tusk’s government had been planning to join the Euro zone in 2012. However, when it became clear that Poland will not avoid the financial crisis, the date was postponed to 2014. Most Poles will not blame Civic Platform (PO) for this delay. According to a report conducted by GfK Polonia for Rzeczpospolita 17% of Poles support joining the Euro zone but the rest do not want a common currency or they suggest waiting a little longer before making the change. This demonstrates a significant drop in support for the Euro. At the beginning of the year 26% of Polish people were in favour of introducing the Euro while 39% was hesitant. According to this most recent of polls people under 39, clerks and white-collar workers are the strongest supporters of introducing the European currency. Managers are the largest group who believe we should wait a little longer before making the decision, according to Rzeczpospolita.
