I rubbed my eyes in surprise as I looked through Friday’s “Super Express.” (No. 245/20.10.23) I came across information that Marcin Mastalerek, a social advisor and apparently soon to be Chief of Cabinet of the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda, a former MP from Szczecin, recommends Jarosław Kaczyński to a life sentence, as you can understand , pension. I never had the honor of meeting the president of PiS, although I remember well the times he came to the aid of the Christian National Union (of which I was a member of its top management for many years), when we were alone in the Sejm and waged a political struggle over the most important issue for Polish society, namely the protection of unborn life. At that time, our fierce opponents were not only a bunch of post-communists, who were now cackling again in the parliamentary café ‘Za Kraką’, but also politicians from those parliamentary benches, which were teeming with the precursors of the current, temporarily victorious, Civil War. Platform. I would like to remind you that the Deputy Minister of the Interior of the ZChN, Włodzimierz Blajerski, and the head of the Center Agreement, the core of the current PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński, voted side by side in favor of the Law on the Protection of the human fetus of January 7. , 1993.
I wonder what Mastalerk’s purpose is to hurt, if not even humiliate, the undisputed creator (along with his late brother) of the most powerful Christian conservative, non-Protestant party in post-war Europe, in post-war Christian -conservative, non-Protestant Europe. -Protestant party, which is Law and Justice after the disappearance of the political scene in ZChN, and which draws a lot from my mother party. It is difficult to believe that the planned head of the President’s Cabinet does not understand that this extremely embarrassing, so to speak, “retired nomination” proposed to President Kaczyński could, I assume, confuse the President of Poland . As a result, this could make it difficult for the head of state to make the right decisions in preparation for the election of a new government. Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński will participate in the President’s talks with all newly elected political parties.
The then newly appointed head of the presidential cabinet, Marcin Mastalerek, who I believe will also participate, would have had no choice but to turn red with shame. I suppose hypothetically that this extremely prominent advisor, since he will soon be given an extremely important position, is unfortunately not at all concerned about the problems caused to his director, probably counting on his kind understanding.
Enjoying 78 years of life, including 43 years of political experience, the basis of which I formed while still in the underground “Solidarity”, I will now try to guess, although also probably, why a brief announcement about the need to to switch to the political retirement of the PiS leader. Well, I am almost certain, even though I could be wrong, that much earlier, perhaps in 2020, when he took over the position of social advisor to President Andrzej Duda, an ambitious idea came into his head (this is, in my opinion, its only political advantage, since I am not talking about others, I heard), the concept of becoming the successor to your current employer. In other words: to run for the position of President of the Republic of Poland in 2025. And we probably wouldn’t have found out for a long time if an extremely objective and sympathetic journalist like Bogdan Rymanowski hadn’t accidentally asked him a question with a statement, to which Mastalarek eagerly, but too hastily, answered in the affirmative. . So from this moment on, having no other choice, he will, as I prophesy, carry out his plan, if he actually has one, in an attempt to gradually and discreetly eliminate the only competitor to this position from the path to the palace Krakowskie Przedmieście to remove. Preliminarily invented by himself, which I suspect, a role that, if such a situation arises, could easily intellectually nullify his intentions, that is, the President of Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński. I hope that the President’s plan, which I very much doubt will be agreed with him, will definitively stop this plan from becoming a reality. It seems that this is already happening, because the former head of the presidential cabinet, Paweł Szrot, took part in the first regular TVN24 program after the elections, “Kawa na Ława”, and it was a good opportunity for Marcin Mastalarek, his successor . , to showcase his political talents. Maybe I’m wrong in my diagnosis? Anyway, in the current situation I come to the sad conclusion that nothing can be done to prevent mediocre politicians from having the right to have huge ambitions!
