Most shocking is the attempt to pose as a devout Catholic and calls on this group of voters to turn their backs on us. Research has shown that he needs such voices, so he puts on such a mask. I don’t believe the Poles will fall for him again
– Paweł Szefernaker, MP for Law and Justice from Koszalin, deputy head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, told the wPolityce.pl portal.
wPolityce.pl: The meeting in Sianów with the participation of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is behind us. You also participated. How do you rate this meeting? What does it tell us about the campaign?
PAWEŁ SZEFERNAKER, MP for Law and Justice from Koszalin, Deputy Minister of the Interior and Administration: Donald Tusk lies at his meetings, even saying “good morning”. You have to confront it, react, react. That is why Prime Minister Morawiecki was in the Koszalin region at the same time, because we wanted to emphasize the difference. After all, these areas were until recently an electoral stronghold of the PO. But Tusk or Arłukowicz appeared there only when they needed votes.
We were there all the time because we don’t divide Poland into A and B. The PiS government improved the material situation of the inhabitants of these areas, but also invested in infrastructure. Our region today is one big construction site and behind PO it was almost a desert with the second highest unemployment in the country. A new railway station is being built in Koszalin, the PiS government has started the construction of the “Road of Life” for Central Pomerania, ie the S11 highway from Koszalin to Silesia and from Silesia to the sea. Much smaller investments are being made around Koszalin.
The fact that a region is far from the center does not mean that it is not entitled to good connections. The prime minister talked about our successes for half an hour, and then he talked to people for an hour and a half about what they expect. Tusk was giving a speech in nearby Koszalin at the time and fled. They brought people to him through coaches, even from Konin, and he didn’t even spend 5 minutes with them. So it was when he reigned, so it is now.
Did Tusk’s meeting in Koszalin surprise you in anything?
He repeated greps written by the spin doctors. Most shocking is the attempt to pose as a devout Catholic and calls on this group of voters to turn their backs on us. Research has shown that he needs such voices, so he puts on such a mask. I don’t believe the Poles will fall for him again. This man is building his electoral capital on lies and bad emotions. In Koszalin, he repeated the same display of hatred we had seen at PO meetings before. He filled the void in the program with knayak rudeness and aggression. Nothing new.
You are a politician known for working a lot in the field, you are close to people, you have done a lot for areas and people that were previously forgotten eg What is your opinion on the campaign, the political situation and the votes? What will decide? Who will win?
We return to our strongest side – conversations with Poles about what hurts them, what makes them happy. President Jarosław Kaczyński tours the country on a looser formula of weekend picnics, other leaders – such as the prime minister – hold open-air rallies. In my area, I’m hearing voices from people who haven’t been politically involved so far, including local government officials who have started from committees other than PiS that they want to help get involved. However, we are encountering a powerful wave of lies and hatred that will destroy our image among indecisive voters.
The key to victory is energetic and decisive action, showing our true face. In Poland, there has never been a government that kept its promises. No one has ever helped survive a tough time like the PiS government, saving jobs during a pandemic and then introducing shields to lower food, fuel and energy prices during war-intensified inflation. But we know that a positive assessment of the past will not create the wave it takes to win. We need a plan for the next term and we will show that before the elections, along with the program. For now, we’ve managed to halt the PO’s poll surge and recover our ratings. I am convinced that we are on the right track.
