“Who is going to win? – that is a good question. No one knows for sure, but Prime Minister Kaczyński’s camp is certainly closer to victory today than it was a year ago, six months ago, a month ago and then yesterday. It was an important day in Polish politics. A lot has been revealed to us,” says Michał Karnowski, publicist for the weekly magazine “Sieci” and the portal wPolityce.pl, who was a guest on the program “Miwała 20” on TVP Info.

“The opposition did not take advantage of this opportunity.”
Karnowski, referring to today’s march by Donald Tusk, said the opposition had “a great opportunity to show something that would bring change.”
It was a great opportunity for the opposition to show something that would bring change. Changing a certain perspective that the Poles have. I think this opportunity has not been taken and this can also be heard in the left-liberal media. In turn, PiS decided in Katowice that it wanted to give Poles a choice
– said Karnowski.
For me, this convention was a constant saying: Poland, you choose. But not between parties: Prime Minister Morawiecki said that there is a relationship between ‘Jarosław Kaczyński’s vision’ and ‘Tusk’s German vision’. But actually this choice fell apart into much more. Do you choose quality of life, income and unemployment under Tusk or today? Because the difference is fundamental. Do you choose the state of the military then or today? Will you choose your attitude towards the forced relocation of emigrants from culturally distant countries, as proposed by the Platform at its meeting and what it proposes today? Do you choose the resistance symbolized by MEP Tarczyński’s speech? Do you choose safety or do you choose great chaos, uncertainty and what the opposition brings, according to those in power? I think it resonated

According to the columnist, the opposition has not taken advantage of its opportunity.
The opposition did not take advantage of this opportunity today. It may have been a weak opportunity, but she was there to somehow break it, to somehow stop the momentum of the camp going for a third term, to present something new. quality. This is calculated for short memory. Defending the Polish uniform with Agnieszka Holland under your arm? And on the other side will stand Janina Ochojska, and Władysław Frasyniuk will sit on the neck of Donald Tusk, and together they will defend the dignity of the uniform? This cannot withstand criticism
– Karnowski noted.
The program’s guest also drew attention to the much smaller turnout for today’s march than that of June 4.
It is striking that the turnout was much lower than planned. It certainly wasn’t a million. Was it 60 thousand? or 100 thousand, it’s less important. It was a smaller march than the previous one, which also shows the trend. The climax of a campaign should be a high point, not a descent. During these speeches, PO-PSL had been in power for eight years, not once was it said that “we are proud of what we have achieved”, not once was it said “those days will come back and it will be great”. As if the opposition itself realized that the public opinion about the quality of their government is very poor. This is the big absentee from this campaign today. This disgrace of the Platform means that it makes no reference to its age at all
– Karnowski noticed.
It was an opportunity for the opposition to say: no to the forced relocation of migrants – not a word about it, no to dismantling the wall – there is no hard statement, no to raising the retirement age – no hard statement, no against the sale of state assets – none of these passwords have not been put into use. This is something that is at the center of public debate today
