It's not a left or a right issue - when I want to start a foreign office, I often need to bring in talent from my other offices.

If it's a pain to get short term work visas for my employees (India, China) or if there are fears of safety and xenophobia (Israel, India), my employees don't feel like helping start those on-site offices.

If my employees don't want to visit those countries, we may as well choose one of the several other CEE states like Czechia or Romania.

Already Romania has almost caught up to Poland in GDP per Capita and social indicators despite being much poorer barely a decade ago.

Be careful what you wish for.

Hungarian voters thought the same way 10 years ago, and that lead to capital outflows to Poland and Romania.

Almost every large private sector Polish employer by revenue is owned by a foreign MNC. 40% of the Polish economy is owned by us "foreign investors".

We're fine moving that money away, and that did start towards the end of the Duda administration due to political instability, with a lot of capital outflows to Romania which rolled out the red carpet for us.
