Donald Tusk, Izabela Leszczyna’s boss, is only presented as a prime minister specialist because he was the head of government.
A seemingly innocuous question from Bogdan Rymanowski (on Radio Zet) to Izabela Leszczyna, Vice President of Civic Platform, contained numerous pitfalls. The question was:
Why is it that you are considered a specialist in finance in your party?
Izabela Leszczyna replied as if she was considered a financial specialist outside her party:
That’s a very good question, but for those who consider me an expert. Please ask them. Many journalists address me in this way, I am invited to various panels.
Every statement by Izabela Leszczyna raises logical and semantic problems, which makes the public debate amusing. Without these logical and semantic loops, Izabela Leszczyna would not be of interest to many, which means that this is what draws attention to her, which is her specialty. Unfortunately, politics is not just about entertainment for the public.
It is a secondary problem that semantic and logical loops cast a shadow on the quality of education in full-time and postgraduate studies. It need not be that they are due to the fact that Ms. Leszczyna graduated full-time from Polish studies (at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow) and Philosophy and Ethics in the postgraduate mode, and that she should not have problems with semantics and logic.
Like Ms. Leszczyna, she may have problems with finances, as as a politician she added “external audit and management control in units of the public finance sector” to her portfolio (at the Warsaw School of Economics). Perhaps, because it was probably about the ability to sit on boards of directors, not her understanding of finance. You pay, you get what you paid for – this principle has been in force in Polish academic education for some 30 years and no one cares.
Returning to the main topic, the point is that “many journalists” do not consider Izabela Leszczyna to be a specialist in finance, but turn to her for financial matters, because “in her party she is considered [ona] as a financial specialist. So the problem is not the journalists and, in general, some “them”, but Mrs Leszczyna’s party, or Civic Platform. If the party did not regard Izabela Leszczyna as a specialist in finance, no one would ask her about finance.
The matter is even more complicated (and funnier): outside the party (PO/KO), Izabela Leszczyna is not considered a specialist in finance, she is only asked about finance, because PO presents her as a specialist in finance. PO politicians should therefore be asked why they present Izabela Leszczyna as a financial specialist. Izabela Leszczyna herself modestly remarked that perhaps that is why she is considered a financial specialist, because “she was deputy finance minister for almost three years”. It therefore indicates a probability, although of course it does not have to be.
Donald Tusk, Izabela Leszczyna’s boss, is only presented as a prime minister specialist because he was the head of government. Of course, when he took it, he was not a specialist in being Prime Minister, but a specialist in being Donald Tusk. Similarly, Ms. Leszczyna was not a specialist in being a Deputy Minister (of Finance), but in being Izabela Leszczyna. Accidentally spent some time at the Ministry of Finance. Therefore, she only talks about the chance to be recognized as a financial specialist due to the fact that she worked in the Ministry of Finance.
If Izabela Leszczyna got a full-time job in the Ministry of Development and Technology, she would not have to worry about having competences in development and technology, because she would be Izabela Leszczyna in this Ministry. Unfortunately, Ms. Leszczyna’s colleagues from PO also have logical and semantic problems, which is why they present her not as a specialist in Izabela Leszczyna, but in finance. The reason may be trivial: the world outside PO does not need Izabela Leszczyna specialists, not even excellent ones.
Nothing should stand in the way of the need for Izabela Leszczyna to make a public appearance in the party (PO) (the vice president should not be missing, which also applies to Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and Cezary Tomczyk, among others), so she shows herself as a financial specialist. Of course, she would do much better as an entertainment specialist, but for some reason entertainment is not taken seriously in the PO, although it is the basis for the functioning of this party.
Polish society is not in the dark and is fully aware that even if Izabela Leszczyna appears as a specialist in finance, in fact she is a specialist in Izabela Leszczyna, ie in entertainment. Therefore, there is no need to ask anyone why anyone considers Ms. Hazel to be a financial specialist, since it is not important. It’s all about entertainment. And one of the most refined forms is the semantic and logical game in which Izabela Leszczyna appears in public. Just like Donald Tusk and other Civic Platform politicians. CBDU (which was demonstrable). watch!
