[00:00:00] I think that with this story, we have opened up further, I would like to
[00:00:04] continue working on this story, precisely to go to rural
[00:00:07] areas, mhm, to talk to those
[00:00:10] women, I was, I didn't have
[00:00:14] a woman from a rural area, I had humanitarians who
[00:00:17] go to those villages and who talk to those
[00:00:21] women, and they just mentioned that
[00:00:24] those, that those points are the most terrible in Bosnia and
[00:00:27] Herzegovina, where there is no... "actually no one and where they are alone in
[00:00:31] villages, where they can't go to the
[00:00:34] store, where they don't have a clinic nearby, where they don't have a pharmacy,
[00:00:38] where they don't have those basic things that would mean
[00:00:41] life to them, they don't have company, each of
[00:00:45] them told me that when
[00:00:47] they bring them that warm meal, that those women usually
[00:00:51] leave that warm meal, but that they most like
[00:00:54] to sit with them, to hug them, to
[00:00:57] talk, that's something that also..." uh
[00:01:01] absolutely what we need to work on, for me the solution,
[00:01:04] the solution is social pensions, there is nothing, that's the
[00:01:07] solution, so we can make and
[00:01:10] we have a lot of things, centers for healthy aging
[00:01:14] work excellently, people socialize there, that's a great
[00:01:17] aspect that we need, but we need the possibility for people to live
[00:01:22] Poland. Witcher 3 was a independently, those are social pensions, that's the recognition
[00:01:25] of work that has been unrecognized so far,
[00:01:28] uh, we now have... according to the new law, pensioners and
[00:01:32] We're here on the outskirts of krakov in female pensioners who enter into that relationship who
[00:01:36] will, according to the new valuation, have the lowest pension
[00:01:39] of 400 convertible marks, so
[00:01:42] we talked about some minimal increases recently, so now
[00:01:45] that minimum has come to 600 something convertible marks, but
[00:01:49] to talk about a pension of 400 convertible
[00:01:52] marks, regardless of who it concerns, is really something that does
[00:01:56] not contribute to that dignity you are talking about, of course.
[00:02:00] Uh, I don't know how we will solve this situation,
[00:02:04] but it is a fact that we as a society continue
[00:02:07] to consciously produce
[00:02:10] uh, future elderly women who will be in an even worse
[00:02:13] situation. The European Commission in its latest report on Bosnia and
[00:02:17] Herzegovina very clearly emphasized that we, or
[00:02:20] Bosnia and Herzegovina, have not even started
[00:02:24] with the harmonization of the Declaration on
[00:02:27] equal pay. That is something we must do,
[00:02:31] and that is something that the countries in the European Union did first before
[00:02:35] they even solved this problem, or rather, the problem
[00:02:38] of social pensions, we still have not
[00:02:41] harmonized that law, we are not doing anything
[00:02:45] about it, which of course means that we continue to
[00:02:48] produce, here are old women who will
[00:02:52] tomorrow be even poorer than
[00:02:55] women are today, yes, how much does that need have to come from society, how much are we
[00:02:59] as a society today... insensitive to the elderly,
[00:03:02] if you say that those people don't even ask for that meal which
[00:03:06] they don't have or desperately need, but they ask for conversation, they ask for a kind word, they ask to sit
[00:03:09] with someone, we, on the other hand, very often when we see
[00:03:13] an older woman or man in public
[00:03:16] transport or somewhere where they are standing in line and have taken up, oh dear, that place
[00:03:20] where we should have arrived faster, we like
[00:03:24] political ideology of the of to say that somehow we comment on where they are going now, they have all day, so
[00:03:28] actually, uh, often we forget to say
[00:03:31] something nice compared to what comes out impulsively,
[00:03:35] and it's not nice, yes, that is precisely that
[00:03:38] multi-dimensionality of poverty that older people face,
[00:03:42] so in addition to that material deprivation, we can still
[00:03:45] add access to healthcare, if you don't have
[00:03:48] enough material resources, your access to
[00:03:52] healthcare will be difficult, and on the other hand, if you don't have
[00:03:56] enough money, you will probably have worse
[00:03:59] health. On the other hand, there is precisely that social aspect, so
[00:04:03] that social, yes, social control, that psychological
[00:04:06] deprivation, so very often older people,
[00:04:10] and generally people who live in poverty, somehow
[00:04:13] self-sacrifice, so they have that forced altruism,
[00:04:17] on the other hand, their social
[00:04:20] network becomes narrower and narrower, so narrower probably
[00:04:24] than it was in some active working period of their
[00:04:27] lives, and then that is actually. "And the first thing that
[00:04:31] older people tell us is that it's important for them to have someone who
[00:04:35] will just listen to them at the end of the day, so they must not
[00:04:38] depend on acts of good will from individual people, but on a systemic
[00:04:42] arrangement, yes, especially because that systemic arrangement and
[00:04:45] systemic implementation gives a certain dose
[00:04:49] of security, there must always be some multi-sectoral
[00:04:52] approach, so always in that team that will work on those systemic
[00:04:56] solutions, we need to have decision-makers, but also lawyers."
[00:05:00] economists, social workers, but ultimately also the voice
[00:05:04] of older people, exactly, well, I would like to
[00:05:07] talk a little more about these examples, because somehow we are closed in
[00:05:10] our homes, we worry about our own existence, it seems to me that
[00:05:14] we don't see much of what is happening around us, here and
[00:05:18] there we comment when we go to the market or
[00:05:21] marketplace how pensioners and female pensioners mostly
[00:05:25] buy one product, it's not products by the
[00:05:28] kilogram anymore, somehow our
[00:05:32] surprise lasts an hour or two or maybe a few minutes until we
[00:05:36] come home, how important it is, right now,
[00:05:39] to realize that the situation is much... worse than
[00:05:42] what we want to see at this moment, that maybe, because
[00:05:46] of this current conversation, someone turns to
[00:05:49] their neighbor who is alone, knows that
[00:05:52] she is alone, and offers, if nothing else, the opportunity to
[00:05:55] talk. Uh, I think that
[00:05:59] it is indeed most important that we, uh, first and foremost, as
[00:06:02] individuals in society, become aware of this matter, if we individually
[00:06:06] become aware, somehow it will cyclically perhaps reach
[00:06:10] where it needs to go. Uh, yes, precisely, when
[00:06:14] we arrive at our, I don't know, where we live,
[00:06:18] apartment buildings, we really need to look around us to
[00:06:20] see uh, who lives next
[00:06:24] to us, can we help in some
[00:06:26] way, uh, I believe that each of us in
[00:06:30] an apartment building has at least one single woman, I really
[00:06:33] believe that, I mean, and I think that we can help at least
[00:06:36] one when we go to the store, to
[00:06:40] knock, ask what she needs. That for her
[00:06:43] certainly means a lot, and for us, it won't cost us
[00:06:46] anything, and it will
[00:06:48] also mean something to us. I also somehow
[00:06:52] want to say that this is not
[00:06:55] only an economic issue of a society and when we talk about
[00:06:58] social pensions, there
[00:07:01] was earlier talk about pension fund reform where
[00:07:05] social pensions were mentioned, a calculation was made, it was
[00:07:08] determined
[00:07:12] that it would cost between 150 and
[00:07:16] 300 million convertible marks, that
[00:07:19] we do not have the ability to bear
[00:07:23] such a thing as a society, that's where it
[00:07:27] stopped. I think this is not
[00:07:30] an economic issue, I really think it's not an economic issue,
[00:07:34] I think this is a highly moral
[00:07:38] issue of a society and
[00:07:40] I think that... which allows
[00:07:44] war heroines, women who survived terrible
[00:07:47] things during the war, women who
[00:07:51] raised families, who were pillars
[00:07:54] of society, today and still are today,
[00:07:58] if uh, if we don't
[00:08:01] recognize these women, if we leave them in
[00:08:03] poverty, then we truly
[00:08:07] have no right to call ourselves humane or
[00:08:11] civilized. society and I think
[00:08:14] that all the time for declarative
[00:08:17] empathy has passed, absolutely, that it's time for this
[00:08:21] society to show
[00:08:25] the strength it must have for these women
[00:08:27] and uh we simply
[00:08:31] have to solve these things, because
[00:08:35] really, we can't anymore, I mean, I would
[00:08:38] say a lot, I don't have much time, but for...
[00:08:42] we really must take care of this
[00:08:46] population, to recognize them, exactly, individually
[00:08:49] then as a society, here come elections, so it's good to realize
[00:08:52] such stories when expectations of those who can change them
[00:08:56] are in question, finally, what message do we as a society
[00:08:59] send to our citizens, if women after
[00:09:03] a lifetime of work, worry,
[00:09:06] sacrifice end up in a food line, yes, well somehow
[00:09:10] throughout this conversation we keep coming back to... dignity, we
[00:09:14] send a message that dignity has an expiration date, so
[00:09:17] when we are economically viable, when
[00:09:20] we contribute to the budget, then we have dignity,
[00:09:24] on the other hand, when we are in those older
[00:09:27] years, when we are not perhaps so, in quotation marks,
[00:09:30] economical, somehow everyone turns
[00:09:33] their back on us, which is somewhat ironic, considering that the constitution of our state
[00:09:37] begins with the sentence based on respect for
[00:09:41] human dignity, equality, freedom, that is somewhat
[00:09:44] paradoxical and I think that this is a message that should
[00:09:48] alarm most of all, actually, uh,
[00:09:51] people who are currently in the labor
[00:09:54] market, because what message are we sending, we are sending a message that work doesn't pay off,
[00:09:58] because pensions serve as a shortcut
[00:10:01] to poverty that we already have and that change is already being felt
[00:10:05] now, we are sending a message that caring for others is invisible, it is
[00:10:09] very important to us because by caring for others, we produce the greatest good. Those
[00:10:12] are people, that's right, so I hope we will all put
[00:10:16] our hand on our forehead and think a little about this
[00:10:19] story, Dragana, thank you very much for bringing it into focus,
[00:10:23] it has generated many reactions as... you said yourself, so this appearance
[00:10:27] in our studio, a promise that we will follow you on your journey
[00:10:30] of producing such stories will further contribute,
[00:10:34] thank you, thank you very much for appearing
[00:10:37] and for recognizing the importance of this topic,
[00:10:41] I think it's very important and I'm glad that it's
[00:10:44] N1, of course, thank you, stay with us
[00:10:48] for the continuation of N1 goes global, meaning Esmir Milović is coming to
[00:10:52] talk about what is happening there.
[00:11:03] You were watching New Day, a friend of the show
[00:11:06] Medicana Health Group.
[00:14:49] Over the past 30 years, Poland has pulled off one of the most dramatic
[00:14:52] economic transformations of modern. Here in Poland they've
[00:14:56] seen a remarkable era of almost unbroken growth, having
[00:15:00] gone virtually overnight from communism to capitalism after the
[00:15:03] fall of the iron curtains, state ownership giving way to
[00:15:07] private enterprise. But is Poland still Europe's green
[00:15:11] island of economic growth, and if so, how long can it keep it
[00:15:15] up? I'm Clir Sebastian in Krakov, Poland, and
[00:15:18] this is marketplace
[00:15:19] Europe.
[00:15:30] Since the end of communist rule in 1989, Poland has
[00:15:34] quietly pulled up a chair at the top table of European. in
[00:15:37] business. In the early 1990s, the initial panic at the
[00:15:41] dramatic turn to capitalism caused near hyperinflation
[00:15:45] of almost 600%, and high unemployment, but
[00:15:49] the dust soon settled and by the mid 2s, the golden
[00:15:52] era of the Polish economy began. The year
[00:15:55] 2004, possibly, I would
[00:15:59] say one of the most important years in the Polish history,
[00:16:03] in particular first of May 2024 when the Poland joined
[00:16:06] the EU. the i think the best decisions this country has ever
[00:16:09] made and from this point onwards we see
[00:16:13] almost a continuous um very strong growth happening
[00:16:17] in the country at the beginning of our EU accession Poland was still around
[00:16:21] 50-60% poor on the west so basically there was no
[00:16:24] convergence in the 90s but in the period
[00:16:28] from 2004 until 2024
[00:16:31] so over the 20 years we we basically managed to close the g by
[00:16:35] half. "the European Commission projects that
[00:16:39] Poland's real GDP will grow by 3.3% this
[00:16:43] year and 3% in 2026.
[00:16:46] With a strong domestic market and low labor costs, the eastern European
[00:16:50] country has become an attractive destination for foreign direct
[00:16:53] investment. Poland is the example of the country which is
[00:16:56] reindustrializing, so we see actually things being produced here, which
[00:17:00] are not only giving jobs to poles, but also attracting lot of talents from from
[00:17:04] the neighborhood countries."
[00:17:09] a neighborhood called Nova Huta, built in the 1950s
[00:17:13] as a model socialist utopia based around this, what was
[00:17:17] back then, the Vladimir Lenin steel works, later renamed
[00:17:21] after the fall of communism to the Tadeus Senjamir Steelwks
[00:17:24] after a Polish
[00:17:25] engineer.
[00:17:34] Now it's transformed into what the owner. little mitile
[00:17:38] says is one of the most advanced steel rolling mills in all of
[00:17:42] Europe. this is the fidiness okay
[00:17:46] 1,400 degrees and it goes
[00:17:49] up. wow, very, very
[00:17:51] hot.
[00:17:55] well, it's absolutely boiling hot in here, and every time
[00:17:58] slab goes fast, you can literally feel the temperature
[00:18:02] rise. from slab to coil in 5
[00:18:05] minutes. this ultra... automated facility turns out freshly
[00:18:09] rolled steel ready to be transformed into paint drums,
[00:18:12] fridges and
[00:18:13] dishwashers.
[00:18:18] not for the faint-hearted, but then neither is today's steel
[00:18:22] industry.
[00:18:24] its peak in the 1970s, this plant employed 40,000
[00:18:28] people and turned out 7 million tons of steal a
[00:18:31] year. it should be noted that the craco steel
[00:18:35] works, which today is an important branch of armital
[00:18:39] Poland in the 1970s was
[00:18:41] huge plant covering a gigantic area with
[00:18:45] hundreds of buildings, facilities and
[00:18:48] installations. It was all part of Poland's then rapid
[00:18:52] state-lead industrialization drive under communist
[00:18:54] rule. It was not just the factory, it was basically
[00:18:58] the industrial ambition and
[00:19:02] the party. In the early 2000s, Poland joined the EU in
[00:19:05] the multinational Asselon Mital. acquired the steel works all day, all
[00:19:09] night, three shots, eight hours each and then there
[00:19:12] is yes in 2020, the last blast
[00:19:16] furnace was closed, turning this sprawling industrial campus into
[00:19:19] a smaller, more high-tech finishing plant with just 200
[00:19:23] workers, so we have to adopt the plant to the
[00:19:27] current needs, same as poland did, so this plant
[00:19:30] from the from the monument of industry is moving to
[00:19:34] towards the model of sustainability and innovation.
[00:19:38] so a bit the journey of this plant is similar to poland
[00:19:41] transformation uh
[00:19:43] to adaptive, resilient
[00:19:47] and forward looking approach. Europe's
[00:19:50] steel industry is caught in pincer grip, crushing
[00:19:54] global competition on one side and the high cost, high stakes
[00:19:57] demands of the green transition on the other. That's why
[00:20:01] the European commission has launched a steel and metals action plan to
[00:20:05] tackle these major challenges.
[00:20:08] "we lack the level playing field in Europe, so we have to
[00:20:11] compete with import which plays with completely different
[00:20:14] rules, to produce one ton of steel we
[00:20:18] need two tons of co2 emission, this cost around 160
[00:20:22] euro, this is the price, and we have
[00:20:26] to add top of our products and the the products that are
[00:20:29] coming from outside the European Union, they they don't have to pay
[00:20:33] that, so we are at very big disadvantages, that's why
[00:20:36] this..." business in Europe is shrinking, old and
[00:20:40] new co-exist here at Nova Huta. In this
[00:20:43] 1970s building, Soviet era health and safety science hang
[00:20:47] over giant magnets as they lift freshly heat. coils
[00:20:51] out of brand new hydrogen furnaces, and despite the
[00:20:54] urgent challenges, this is still a place with grand
[00:20:58] ambitions. I hope that the krakov
[00:21:01] also and all this area will look completely different, that we will
[00:21:05] have uh all this new investments
[00:21:08] around, and if you come in five years you will, you will hardly recognize
[00:21:12] the
[00:21:12] place.
[00:21:22] Welcome back to Marketplace Europe. Now Poland's economic
[00:21:25] ambitions go way beyond the traditional drivers of mining,
[00:21:29] heavy industry and agriculture. It also has
[00:21:32] a growing tech sector. You are
[00:21:35] witture,
[00:21:38] that monster slayer they's talking about in the village. Cd project
[00:21:41] red is a warsaw-based video game development studio behind the
[00:21:45] wildly successful and critically acclaimed the Witcher
[00:21:48] Series and Cyberpunk.
[00:21:50] 2077.
[00:21:53] The firm started as a company importing and translating American
[00:21:57] games into Polish in the 1990s and selling them
[00:22:00] on CD ROM, it got its name. But just in the
[00:22:04] last two decades, it's grown into a major player in global
[00:22:07] gaming and source of national pride in
[00:22:12] crowning achievement, and actually that was the pivotal moment
[00:22:15] for the company. The Witcher 3 back when we launched it, was probably
[00:22:19] the... most awarded game uh back then on the planet, right
[00:22:23] now we can say that we sold over 60 million copies of the witcher
[00:22:27] 3, which makes it one of the top 10 best
[00:22:30] selling games of all time. back in
[00:22:33] 2011 the polish prime minister Donald Tusk gifted then US president
[00:22:37] Barack Obama a copy of the game when he visited
[00:22:39] Poland. In fact last time I was here uh
[00:22:43] Donald gave me a gift uh the video game developed here in Poland that's
[00:22:47] one fans uh the world over uh the witcher. but after the runaway
[00:22:50] success of Witcher 3, CD Project hit a major bump in
[00:22:54] the road. its second big title, cyberpunk
[00:22:57] 207, a futuristic urban universe set in the
[00:23:00] US, was beset by delays and then hit by
[00:23:03] multiple glitches after launch.
[00:23:07] after the launch of Cyberpunk, which was bumpy launch, we got a
[00:23:10] big kick from gamers, we decided to change the
[00:23:13] company, uh, we name it to the project 2.0
[00:23:16] transformation, we changed the way we work on games, we ch
[00:23:20] the way we communicate and we change many, many other things within the
[00:23:23] company. they also decided for the first time to
[00:23:27] tackle multiple big projects at once. so we have a
[00:23:31] sort of visual representation here of what you're attempting, the challenge
[00:23:34] of doing these two franchises at the same time, the cyberpunk and the
[00:23:38] witcher franchises, it's a it's a big challenge that you're facing
[00:23:42] in the moment. it is a big challenge, each of the universes is different, it also
[00:23:46] requires a bit different technology to run them in cyber.
[00:23:50] you have cars, you have shooting, all this, in the witcher, you fight swords, you also
[00:23:54] ride horse, so things are a bit different. there's a lot of
[00:23:57] hype around which are four, and i know that it's a there are a lot of closely
[00:24:01] guarded secrets around it, but is there anything more you can tell us about when fans could
[00:24:05] expect it anymore about the game itself, when it
[00:24:09] will be ready, no spoilers today, but the company's
[00:24:12] future plans are clearly visible on their fast growing
[00:24:16] warsaw campus, what's happening here, this
