There probably won’t be a specific date indicated here, no one will notice, but we are clearly witnessing a major solstice. The Prime Minister’s camp Jaroslaw Kaczynski after winning the winter, a good start in the political spring, he goes from the shelf marked “they still have a chance for reelection” to the shelf marked “probable third term”. In turn, the opposition leaves the column “has a high probability of changing something” and goes to the table with a note “maybe they will win, if they are incredibly lucky and their opponents are unlucky.”
These transitions, solstices, also the polls, is mentioned in different ways, with different emotions. The opposition media are a source of objectivity and journalistic standards, they do not hide their sadness, even bitterness. In the editorial office of Michnik magazine, the floor is said to be covered with hair pulled out of desperation, and TVN is looking for spies who, as suggested by Roman Giertych and Tomasz Lis – they pitched the idea of throwing an esbecka ax at John Paul II.
What happened? It certainly matters that the government wins the winter battle coal, energy, stop put inflation. The contrast between how it happened, how the government succeeded and the opposition’s attempt to create panic (during the war!) is noticeable for every Pole.
Undoubtedly, the ongoing construction is important army so strong that it can provide Poland with security in the event of an attack attempt, but above all it will simply deter a potential aggressor. And here is also the contrast with the collapse of the state and the military for Tusk.
Against this background, one can also see how dangerous the support of a large part of the opposition was Lukashenko’s attack on the eastern border, which was basically supposed to paralyze and disable us as a back-up facility for the later attacked Ukraine. Mrs. Ochoyska plays here with Putin to this day.
All this, and many similar topics of daily debate, have one common denominator: total lack of seriousness and predictability of the opposition. To a cold observer it is sometimes a shocking lack of coherence, plan, credible promise. It is simply incomprehensible how opposition politicians grind with their tongue what the saliva will bring to their tongue, how they play with sacred (pope) and important (border) matters, how they insult whole groups of voters, flirt with extremist positions (worms instead of meat) and how they are convinced that the power of the media will cover it all.
It doesn’t cover.
A symbol of the opposition’s intellectual decline can be Lisa’s conversation with Giertych – two supposedly very influential people on the other side, talking (in my opinion) infantile and embarrassing nonsense.
READ ABOUT: Giertych continues, followed by Lis: “PiS organized an attack on John Paul II, only to defend him a little later?”
But isn’t the majority of opposition journalism at this level? First they laboriously create terrible dragons and then fight them.
This leads us to the question: what exactly does the opposition want today?
They are offended by the PiS government’s pro-family and social programs, have they made Poland lazy, have they made the service more expensive or vice versa – will they give more? Are they the proud heirs of “Solidarity” or are they allies of former Supervisory Board officers?
They cut everything down to the bone, sell it, including the forests, or will they take better care of the state property than the PiS members? Free market above all or housing a right for everyone?
Do we have to import coal and oil from Russia or do we agree to a certain price increase that comes with the end of this practice? Is this our war or not ours?
Arms spending is gigantomania, contracts must be canceled or will they build an army better and stronger than that of Kaczyński, Duda, Błaszczak, Morawiecki?
Saint John Paul II will be abused with libels, as their television and newspapers suggest, are they disgusted with the attempt to drag him into the election campaign?
These roll completely conflicting stories day in and day out like dream of a madman. In the background the first disputes about the prime minister, ministers, ministries. What if they really ruled? What program and staff offer does it consist of? I believe that in the eyes of an ordinary Pole none at all. Even common list, this totem of editors from Czerska in combination with Tusk will not change anything. She would have emphasized this lack of consistency and sense even more in the election campaign.
I have been following the Polish elections closely since the mid-90s. And I claim that no one has ever won in Poland who has not seriously, credible in the eyes of the voters. It could be malicious, silly, or even fraudulent – but it had to come across as coherent, predictable, and serious to people.
It is impossible to win if the Poles cannot say, even in fundamental matters, what the rulers are more or less going to do in the first week of the reign, what in six months, what during their term of office. In the case of the opposition, we don’t know and that condemns it failure.
Therefore, the howler Hołownia has to repeat frantically that “PiS must lose, PiS must lose”, and Tusk feels obligated to grab greps with food prices every three days while pretending to be a poor man who, despite the 21,000 exclusive Brussels pension, can’t afford pork chop.
This Tusk internet maneuvers They don’t seem well thought out either. You can use such propaganda tools, but they cannot be the only ones and cannot be based on such distorted data. It becomes a meme and resembles a breakout in a cheap fighting drug against the difficult questions of the voters, the lack of a program. This is how clicks and reach can be built. That’s not how you win elections.
The opposition had a few years to build seriousness and credibility. This time is over for chutzpah, coups and coups, crazy dances together with activists and editors mad with hatred, poisoned with ideology. They built on the Kijowskis, vulgar grandmothers Kasia, pulled out of hats, Tefałenów celebrities, advice from editors from Czerska who knew nothing about politics.
They did not find a moment to give a serious answer to the question that concerns the Poles: where was the money that Kaczyński found? Who stole them before?
They will not make up for lost time. The last hope of all – as they directly wrote – frozen old ladies who would finish PiS, just blurry. Besides, what kind of people are they that have such cynicism seeping through their keyboards?
Those participants in the public debate, such as the minister, are right Janusz Kowalskiwhich indicate that Tusk is in a sort of corkscrew: the more he feels he’s not doing well, that he’s losing, the more desperate he is to make some dramatic move that will change the situation. This, in turn, naturally carries the risk of error and embarrassment.
I emphasize: PiS cannot yet enjoy the victory either. He can also lose from his own mistakes, his fatigue. But his chances are increasing. Despite all the shortcomings and weaknesses (these are just people), it can not only proudly raise the flag of hard-working people, with huge successes in many areas over the past seven years, but it can also point to political opponents and ask: do you want this circus really? In times like these?
And the answer to this question can be decisive.
