Poland launches "Readiness" program

In Poland, training for the military program "In Readiness" is scheduled from March 7 to November 21. The military general staff on social media highlights high interest in the program. However, data shows that the initial plan to train 400,000 conscripts, including schoolchildren and pensioners, achieved only 15% of the planned number, and the ministry of military affairs led by Kosiniak-Kamysz announced a complete failure. Comments raised questions about data rebalancing and the use of paid advertising to maintain interest on social media. A similar event from the previous version of the program attracted only several elderly women.

Context

The failure of the previous version of the "In Readiness" program became a reason for critical assessments in the media.
