Where Region seeks dąbrowski following three areas, which appear in today's Dabrowa Basin. Classification criterion focuses on one issue - the views on the relationship between the region and the Silesia Dąbrowa.
Silesian option - they are followers of "Silesian Sosnowiec. They support the establishment of the Silesian Agglomeration and the total elimination of differences Dąbrowa Basin. Among these people get to those who are particularly dismissive attitude to the Basin, and very actively support its
silesianizację (whether or not the economic interests of the cities where pomieszkują is irrelevant to them.) The operation of these people is quite simple: utrącać ridicule and everything related to "localism" and at the same time promote and idealize Silesia and Silesia. " Usually occurs in such cases, the suspicion that these people have some Silesian roots or affinities family - it is true but this is not the rule. Overall, for all those people Dabrowski Basin is just a historical curiosity, or at most within the sub-region of Silesia. Katowice media conducive to such views.
zagłębiowska option - a group that could be called the "katowiczanami" because they accept the common region of Katowice, just do not agree with that Basin was called "Silesia" and that the provincial government's favoritism of Upper Silesia. "GKS" do not want Silesia agglomeration - even if the name was more friendly, many of them would accept this new entity. They do not like it, the province is called "Silesia" (they would prefer to stay with the old name of "Katowice"). Generally, they do not accept the naming and the Upper Silesian Basin wish to have incorporated in this province, but as a full person with respect for its cultural distinctiveness and economic interests. Under communism was the slogan: "Socialism - Yes, deviations - NO", it captures the spirit which guided "option Zagłębie. These people have good intentions, consider themselves to be local patriots, but have no vision and direction of the current reality beyond contestation. Eternal complaining and little hope for improvement - which is why a large proportion of these people eventually discouraged local policy recognizing that the situation is hopeless, and the Basin is "doomed to Silesia."
malone option - the main requirement is to join ZD Region. Supporters of a return to Malopolska Dąbrowa Basin are not interested pertraktacjami in the current region, because they do not believe too much in the effects of such talks. Important is the fact that people they do not identify completely with the region of Katowice and the Lesser as possible. Including, inter alia, different from "option Zagłębie" whose identification with the Malopolska is usually very shallow or no. The idea to join the Dąbrowa Basin province. Lesser is a positive program. It stems from a desire to clean up the situation and ensure ZD proper place, and not just with a sense of injustice. Even though cooperation with Katowice Board was correct and so it would demand changes in the region to date.
Politicians both sides agree Brynicy: Silesia City Center must be built, Silesia has to be the greatest, and the place is Sosnowiec Silesia ..
Dabrowskie The region is also of course quite a lot of people that local politics is totally not interested. If they are
immigrants who came here in such large numbers to work in industry or even their children, this is a very good chance that they consider the Basin Dabrowski (historic) part of Silesia. For years, they hear about this in the media and for years they say they are politicians. Name of province moreover, leaves no doubt ... On both sides there are people Brynicy for which the division of Silesia and Dabrowski is just past. These people believe that regional differences should be kept secret, because "why do we need these conflicts." Claiming as much naive as risky as not to hide the real difference is the resolution of conflicts. If you look at the names in this province in force (all of Silesia), moreover, it shows clearly that the password
forget about the past, let us build a common future , at least half is addressed to only one side - to the inhabitants of Dąbrowa Basin. It is they who have renounced their own history. Never throughout history nothing good from such a "bridging divisions" did not work. This only strengthens the conflicts and leads to more and stronger tensions. Examples of multinational states, which no longer exists and examples of what is happening in many regions, the EU should give enthusiasts of New Silesia to think. They show clearly that homo
silesianus is doomed to extinction, just like any other departed into oblivion, was once widespread species -
Homo Sovieticus .
builders
New Silesia reminiscent of communist comrades from a bygone era - the same unreconstructed concrete. With equal fervor, too, in spite of criticism, trying to realize his strange vision of the region. Region in which there is no room for variety - everything here must be "Silesia" (in the PRL-there were many who believed that the USSR will never fall apart, Poland will never be in NATO, and communism would last forever - a cautionary these gentlemen).
absorption process takes
First, the region founded Silesian-Dąbrowa, Katowice later, up to 60 years the name changed to "Silesia". The plan is to create a "Silesia" which is initially focusing the agglomeration of several towns, which eventually transformed into an urban organism. Then a gradual, completely absorbed in the cities of Silesia Basin Dabrowski. Little by little, small steps so as not to induce resistance, but progress is steady and clear.
It is quite possible that such signs appear on the UM Sosnowiec now for about 15-20 years. Katowice, Silesia Katowice or new - that name has to wear the new "Upper Silesia," the city.
are two ways to reverse these processes - work that is at the basis of patient pouring in the cogs of pen or "orange revolution" that is quick derail it. The first way is to build understanding of the people, stressing Dąbrowa Basin belong to Malopolska, postulating changes in border provinces, or even change the name of the current. In general, the more of such actions, the better, though the road to success will be long and are rather uncertain (lack of objective media and political system unfavorable for the new groups). The second method is tested in many democratic countries, protests and demonstrations. It is a powerful and very effective - no government can resist them and they are really afraid of that. I guess it really just that. Optimism throughout this matter fills only the fact that the state "Silesian" is built on a lie, so it has very weak foundations.
more for the cause of self-government should also do Małopolska, which is too soft and too weak lobbies (well, not at all) for the reunification of Malopolska lands. Jaworzno, even though they gave back in the 70s was a city province. Krakow. The only positive news of recent times is to join Czestochowa Association of Municipalities and Districts of Malopolska. Though in truth, so little will change, since the days of Bedzin province. Katowice for years belonged to the Association of Municipalities Malopolska and it's not possible in the sense of integration. Krakow itself also could be on these issues more actively. It is a hermetically sealed city, which should play a greater role in the regional capital, not just the capital of the province (one more time, smaller).
region without a history of a crowd
Basin Dabrowski has been completely cut off from our own history. She was uncomfortable in the era of communism (it was for the unity of the province) and it is very inconvenient for the same reason today. Anyone know the history of the DS has no illusions that this region is part of Malopolska. They talk about a variety of professional publications, journalists, however, carefully avoided the word in relation to the cities Zagłębie. People who live here, even 40 years, had never heard on TV or radio that someone called the local S-ec Lesser town! For them, this strange and weird sounds. Even in Jaworzno, which is in the region of approximately 30 years, too Almost all believe that they live "in Silesia." Stanislaw Lem once said that no past society
a crowd . As of today we have in the region Dabrowskie just such a crowd, and if things are to be dusted and it's pointed out here will not change for the better.
Without recourse to the union of the Malopolska region called the Basin Dabrowski become a permanent attachment for Silesia, snap, because the real Silesia is not and never will, and his role here is very ungrateful not to say bluntly.
