There was no mercy or social sensitivity when Poles protested massively against raising the retirement age. Donald Tusk shredded the petitions, separated himself from the demonstrators with a police cordon and ordered his compatriots to cooperate with the majority of parliamentary power until they turned 67. Without the victory of President Andrzej Duda and the United Right, it would still be the case today. Sam – it turns out – took early retirement 2 years earlier. Hypocrisy in its purest form.
Almost 4.6 thousand euros per month gross, so about 21 thousand. PLN is – as “Fakt” writes – the pension of Donald Tusk for the presidency of the European Council in 2015-2019. According to the tabloid, the head of the PO has been receiving this benefit since April 23, 2022. This is two years earlier than he ordered when his party was in power, which forced women to work seven years longer. The arguments that there are professions that are difficult to maintain at this age did not help. The answer was that you can always rebrand. Today, Donald Tusk himself exercises the right to early retirement, reducing his working period by one year. (Employees of the EU institutions reach retirement age at 66).
This is not the only case of inconsistency. A church wedding for the election campaign, raising a family of one’s own to be devout Catholics when it was necessary to fight for conservative votes, pretending to be a social worker worried about wages and prices when faced with the consequences from the global crisis to the perceived inefficiency of the PiS government. And at the same time cold indifference to social affairs, when he holds the reins of power. Just as cynical as denying one’s own political past and making promises that cannot be kept.
Donald Tusk will be ruthless in this campaign. He will promise and say anything that will increase his political potential. Free housing loans, extra social benefits, high income, cheap shopping, whatever you want. And if she wins, the same Polish woman will start: “I didn’t elect your mayor”, “where are the billions buried?”, “I don’t have a button with low food prices” and everything else we know so well. May the memories of the PO voters not be dulled by these picturesque visions of the future. Hypocrisy is incurable. Especially the one motivated by an obsessive lust for power.
