“This is such trivia, but it certainly has a negative impact on the image. People watch and find themselves playing in a sandbox, flipping photos like some influencers, and they don’t think about other issues they should be dealing with. Prolonging this topic is already, and then it will be completely unfavorable for the PO, said Dr. Bartłomiej Biskup, political scientist at the University of Warsaw.
During his visit to Warsaw, President Joe Biden spoke briefly with the guests after his speech in Arkady Kubicki, including the head of PO Donald Tusk, the mayor of the capital Rafał Trzaskowski and the president of the Senate Tomasz Grodzki. As we already wrote, these short conversations can hardly be called “meetings”, which the PO politicians tried (in vain) to convince.
“Everyone wanted to warm themselves in light of Joe Biden”
The whole thing is brightened by Onet’s reports of friction within the party due to… the lack of a picture of Donald Tusk with the US president. Such photos were published fresh after these short conversations by both Rafał Trzaskowski and Tomasz Grodzki. After a few days, a photo of the PO leader was also “found”.
What’s the problem? According to media reports, Trzaskowski’s people incited this case by attacking Tusk, who – as it seemed at the time – did not have his photo with Biden.
Everyone wanted to warm themselves in light of Joe Biden, but there was little opportunity to do so. After all, the Civic Platform does not rule and the visit of the US president took place in a much broader sense, leaving no room for larger meetings with political leaders. I don’t think it’s very serious to race who posted a photo and who didn’t, or who posted it first. After all, that’s not what this visit was about, so you lose your image
– comments on this case and media reports, Dr. Bartłomiej Biskup, a political scientist from the University of Warsaw.
“The conflict will continue to smolder.”
Is the (after all childish) action of Trzaskowski’s people against Tusk over photos with Biden a new version of the conflict between the head of the PO and the president of Warsaw?
This is not a new conflict. It is ingrained in the logic of how this political party functions, as it is a clash between old and new leader Donald Tusk with a younger politician who has quite good ratings and a lot of social confidence. It is known that the youngster will always have ambitions to be a leader
notes the political scientist.
It happens that colleagues show a little “political cooking”, and yet each of them works for his position in the party. This is a natural thing for any political formation. Therefore, this conflict will continue to smolder
he assessed.
“People watch and see that they are playing in a sandbox”
We asked our interlocutor whether the fact that this case is reported by the media, which can hardly be suspected of PiS sympathy, and is rather associated on the side of the opposition camp, is decisive for the image failure of the PO?
These are such “tricks”, but it certainly negatively affects the image. People watch and see that [politycy – red.] they play in the sandbox, they flip pictures like some influencers, and they don’t think about other issues they should be dealing with. Extending this topic is already, and then it will be completely unfavorable for the PO. Since journalists also took care of it, it seems that it will not serve this party at all
– said Dr. Bishop.
Good. It just doesn’t seem very serious. I think it should be defined that way
– added our interlocutor, commenting on the whole matter.
