On the occasion of the Sunday march, which was undoubtedly a turnout success, Donald Tusk confirmed that he was the one who dictated the terms to the opposition. He also showed that the PO can still be organizationally efficient. What Tusk failed to do was present an appealing vision of Poland. During the speech nothing new was said, we saw the same harmonious Tusk and part of the speech was based on ordinary delusions.
I swear to you – you can call it Tusk’s oath – if you like this oath, victory, settlement of evil, compensation for human wrongs and reconciliation between Poland
– this is how Donald Tusk described his strategy.
So there’s still a programmatic void, and Tusk talking about reconciliation is a complete joke.
For years Poland was ruled by people who cannot love
said the man who, since his return to Polish politics, has been calling for confrontation, fighting against evil and hatred. He cast PiS and its constituents as evil. Tusk’s supporters understood his message. Hence the slogans about “fuck”, messages of support, etc. The same story about the war against evil was also repeated by Tusk on June 4.
Life becomes simple when we can tell right from wrong and truth from lies
– said Tusk, who is caught every day by the media in lies, changes his mind and retreats from previous statements.
The PO leader also accused those in power of robbing Polish families of money, future, dreams and hopes. But isn’t it exactly the other way around? In recent years, poverty no longer has a child’s face, poverty has decreased, Polish families have regained their dignity, they have received money to educate their children or organize holidays. not had before. Only Donald Tusk can’t know this, because he wasn’t there, and Poland and the Poles have changed a lot in that time. His colleagues won’t tell him either, because he himself said he gets angry when someone tries to say something good about PiS.
The leader of PO also announced compensation to all those wronged by the authorities. Apparently thousands and even hundreds of thousands of Polish women and men lost their jobs, lost their chances of promotion, left because they could no longer bear what was happening. And here, too, Tusk relied on his own delusions. Unemployment in Poland is the lowest in history and the lowest in the European Union, people no longer have to leave the country to live with dignity. It was the PiS government that succeeded in fulfilling Tusk’s promise that Poles would return from emigration.
I would see the sources of income from emigration mainly in the tax system, tax cuts, equal opportunities for economic development throughout Poland and a safe environment for people and families to live. Most people come back from Italy, France, Great Britain and Norway. In Poland, we have the lowest the tax wedge, which means that, for example, out of 100 units of labor costs incurred by employers, as many as 66 units are transferred to the pocket of the employee, and 34 units are taxes, including ZUS. In other countries, this ratio is much less favorable for the employee, so that the tax burden in Poland is much lower than in other European countries. In France, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany, the amount of the tax burden is even 20 percentage points higher, so that employees in these countries only receive about 46 out of 100 units. reasons for Poland’s return, including mixed families from abroad
explained to me in Prof. Zbigniew Krysiak, chairman of the program board and founder of the Schuman Thought Institute, in an interview published in the weekly magazine “Sieci”.
But Donald Tusk cannot know this either, because he has not been to Poland for a long time.
The PO leader managed to lead the crowd into the streets. At the same time, he forced the opposition to submit and discredited even the leaders of the Third Way. But will this translate into the election results?
Power in Poland cannot be taken away in the street, but only at the ballot box
– said Ewa Kopacz in 2014.
Then Law and Justice took over power at the ballot box. I think he will stay with her this time. And if Tusk continues to fight opposition leaders like this, trying to push the Third Way or the Left to the electoral threshold, and if he succeeds, then he will give PiS a chance at independent governance.
