During Andrzej Duda’s meeting with the vanguard of the Civic Coalition, it was astonishing to see Donald Tusk shrinking next to the head of state.
Run, give us the power, for we will not be able to stand it. This is still the message of the opposition, as the old Sejm is expected to survive until the end of its term. And there are so many people here who are willing to prove themselves. Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz wants revenge. Sławomir wants to liquidate Nitras. And a certain Adam Szłapka would like to be involved in the defense. This could have worked if he had invented a new “funniest joke in the world”, i.e. weapons of mass destruction put into use by Ernest Pismak of Monty Python’s Army (the author himself was the first victim of this extremely deadly weapon).
The yet-to-be-appointed culture commissioner wants to plow the public media and exclude anyone who does not see culture as something like a modern Proletkult led by Alexander Bogdanov (who was born in Sokółka as Malinovsky) or Anatoly Lunacharsky (who also laid the foundation for a new pedagogy).
Boys and girls with revolutionary zeal would like to make pulp with the institutions and people of the previous era, but we have to wait. Hence great frustration and wandering around in a vacuum. However, this is shortsighted. Anyone interested in cleaning and disinfecting knows that the revolutionary enthusiasm quickly fades, and then you have to show that you know something. And yet everyone knows that Sienkiewicz, Szłapka or Nitras (and other commissioners) may know something, but not what is necessary and not what can be of any use.
It would be much better not to count on the dragon’s entrance, as this could result in a spectacular failure in front of a packed audience, since such entrances are watched anyway, and then it’s stupid. Of course, the ‘all the truth 24/7’ media can present all these specialists as new Edisons, Teslas and Einsteins, but packaging these characters alone is not enough. Those who break away should be grateful to President Andrzej Duda for protecting them from immediate shame.
If they wait a while, they might accidentally come across a book, someone tells them something, gives them some advice, they learn the basics, and maybe at least they understand what it’s about. At best, someone will tell them what Marshal Józef Piłsudski said to General Felicjan Sławoj-Składkowski. The last Prime Minister of the Second Polish Republic himself reported it as follows: ‘Mr. Marshal shook my hand across the table, pointed to a chair and said without preamble: ‘Well, you will become Minister of the Interior, because Młodzianowski no longer wants to be here cooperate… Sejm.’ I sat quietly waiting for what the commander would say next, but when he paused and looked intently into my eyes, I obediently pointed out that I had never come into contact with politics before, and that there were other colleagues who knew better. To this Mr. Marshal said, laughing and as if in agreement with me, “There is no need for politics here. Everyone says that you are a director, that is why you become a minister. Report to Mr. Bartel. Well bye!’ Here the commander, as if bored by this conversation, bowed his head and began to play solitaire, without shaking my hand at parting. I checked out and left Belvedere, surprised not only by the fact that I had become a minister, but also by the form in which it happened.
If the still-opposition Arivists thought it was unfair to compare them with General Sławoj-Składkowski, they would be right. The last Prime Minister of the Second Polish Republic was a doctor of medicine, and he was neither a painted general nor an administrator, so he is absolutely not equal to Sienkiewicz, Nitras or Szłapka. He skips them light years (it is worth explaining to climbers that this is a measure of distance, not time), but the form of appointment to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so funny and unusual that many people would probably do that. would like to experience something like that. If only Donald Tusk were two thousand times stronger than Marshal Piłsudski, but he is not and never will be.
President Andrzej Duda protects climbers from premature ridicule and gives them the opportunity to gain some knowledge, and if not, then at least some basic manners, although the hope of success is not high. But every experience counts. During Andrzej Duda’s meeting with the avant-garde of the Civic Coalition, it was astonishing to see how Donald Tuska became smaller and smaller next to the head of state. That’s right, because the style of a schoolboy who looks in admiration at someone who has been elected twice and knows what it means to hold a dignified office was very appropriate. ‘Globalist’ and ‘European’ were reduced to their proper dimensions in one glance from the president (who wants to see it), which means that the steering wheel suddenly disappeared.
The president is giving us a chance to pull ourselves up so there will be less shame and embarrassment at first, but this opportunity will likely be wasted. Boys and girls are so horny for power and its outward narcissistic traits that no one and nothing can stop them. And it will be funny, but also sad, because it’s not about cabaret, it’s about Poland. However, the best solution, namely giving up wanting to spoil everything, is not to be expected.
