...there are some very obstinate misunderstandings. Among my Western interlocutors everybody agrees that the Polish events are of historical importance; some add that they have actually opened a new epoch in contemporary history.

The unfortunate consequence is that much of the public sector is outside the budgetary control of the executive branch, and both the legislative assembly and the supreme court can make important economic decisions without the approval of the President...
