Speculations about the rivalry between the mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, and the leader of the PO, Donald Tusk, continue. Onet journalists: Andrzej Stankiewicz and Dominika Długosz recently melted over the mutual restraint of both politicians. “They don’t digest each other very well, to put it mildly, they don’t exactly like each other. There is no chemistry between them,” said Stankiewicz.
“There’s no chemistry between them.”
In the program “State of Exception”, Stankiewicz and Długosz commented, among other things, on a video published by the PO chairman on TikTok, in which the mayor of the capital appeared. The two politicians talk and at the end they shake hands. An inscription appears on the screen: “If they ask if Rafał and I will stand against PiS, and we are already coming for them.” However, Donald Tusk’s movements and posture show some impatience.
The fact that the relationship between Tusk and Trzaskowski may be far from ideal is also noted by journalists of some media who oppose the United Right government.
Things started to get more awkward between them than usual. They, to put it mildly, do not particularly digest, do not really like each other. There is no chemistry between them. However, these rumors caused relations to deteriorate
– said Andrzej Stankiewicz from Onet.
Therefore, Trzaskowski, who doesn’t exactly want to be prime minister, probably because you have to work there — he prefers to be a presidential candidate, he made it clear to Tusk, he decided to join the campaign to send a certain signal that they are together and that he personally has no regard for a candidate for the premiership. That’s why they performed together, and that’s why listen how the gentlemen harass each other
he argued.
According to the publicist, the whole thing is perceived differently by “Trzaskowski’s people”, differently – by “Tusk’s people”. For the first, the mayor of Warsaw presented an independent position.
He paid no tribute, he did not kiss the signet ring, he enters the campaign on his own terms. He acknowledges Tusk’s leadership, but shows his independent position. The people of Tusk say: okay, for now he kissed the signet ring, for now he got down on his knee, but it is not known how long he will last and whether it is just a tactical game or whether he will do something again sometime later is going to figure out
he explained.
No tribute?
Rafał Trzaskowski, in my opinion, did not pay feudal tribute, but acknowledged supremacy. He had a problem with it until now, now he has recognized his supremacy and will stand where Tusk tells him to stand
– reviewed Dominika Długosz.
If Tusk says to him, you’re running for president in 2025, he’s running for president. If she says to him, after possibly winning the elections at the end of this year: “You will be our Commissioner in the EU”, she will be Commissioner. If he says: you will be mayor of Warsaw for a second term, then Trzaskowski will be mayor of Warsaw. And that’s it for now, in my opinion
she stressed.
Will Trzaskowski keep building something? I noticed that the group of local government officials “Yes for Poland” has recently appeared in the polls
she pointed it out.
Stankiewicz: Tusk and Trzaskowski can’t digest each other. Rumors of Tusk’s exchange for Trzaskowski caused the relationship to begin to unravel. They showed up at the meeting together, but the people of Tusk don’t know if Trzaskowski will start conspiring again in a few weeks
Well, this was not Rafał Trzaskowski’s first attempt to gain independence – suffice it to recall the situation at the Campus Polska Przyszłości in September, when the president of Warsaw gave a very long speech before the announced speech of the PO leader , and Donald Tusk had to stand still on stage at that moment.
And how can we talk about a joint list when it is difficult to come to an agreement even within one’s own party and it is noticed even by media journalists who are not necessarily favorable to the PiS government?
