“Hołownia gives the impression of an educated student who has prepared the answer, but it is not known whether he has read the text. It can wear out quickly,” said Antoni Trzmiel in “Salon Dziennikarski”. The Polish television journalist, together with Jacek Karnowski’s other guests: Teresa Bochwic, Marek Formela and Piotr Semka, assessed the first days of Szymon Hołownia’s position as President of the Sejm.
Democracy according to Hołownia
Marek Formela, editor-in-chief of “Gazeta Gdańska”, said that he did not like the way Hołownia communicated during his meeting with President Andrzej Duda.
It seemed that Hołownia had clearly favored the president, that there was a crisis and a government was needed. In my opinion, the President is right to educate the opposition, to teach them the Constitution, to teach them to follow it and to show them the rules that the opposition, even if it feels arithmically strong, must follow. Hołownia’s presentation and speech show that democracy means that the majority respects the rights of minorities. The first vote in the Sejm showed how much he respects minority rights. There is a serious difference between a politician’s words and his actions. The opposition, which wants to take power in Poland, voted against parliamentary practice
– said Marek Formela.
A well-prepared student
Antoni Trzmiel pointed out that the appointment of Szymon Hołownia as Chairman of the Sejm was a Civic Platform play.
Donald Tusk actually uses Szymon Hołownia and hides behind him. Hołownia is making a career. On the same day, when he takes oath as deputy for the first time, he is immediately elected the second person in the state. It is an incredible privilege and responsibility. It is clear that he was preparing, but when you read what the agenda looks like, it does not mean that you take responsibility for the state. Szymon Hołownia chose this office as part of the coalition to gain media attention and be able to give a speech. The problem is that we have not heard anything that is important for the life of the state and its citizens
– said Bumblebee.
Referring to the issue of the barriers that surrounded the Sejm and disappeared, which Hołownia boasts about, the TVP journalist pointed out that “the barriers were removed because those who stormed the Sejm captured it – there were eight stars in it.” He added that he personally did not like these barriers, but that they were the result of aggression from seven years ago.
PiS voters have a different approach to the state. Hołownia becomes a rival candidate for Trzaskowski. He no longer has that position because there is an alternative. There are rumors that this is Tusk’s idea. Hołownia gives the impression of an educated student who has prepared his answer, but it is not known whether he read it. It can wear out quickly
– emphasized Antoni Trzmiel.
“New quality,” said the opposition
Teresa Bochwic, a publicist and former deputy head of the National Broadcasting Council, pointed out that Hołownia is an excellently educated media figure.
He has perfect control over his movements and voice. But when he listened to his words, he scolded the president. He said he had to obey the law and follow the principles of the Constitution, then reiterated that the president had promised him this would be the case.
– said Teresa Bochwic.
According to Piotr Semka, a publicist, “this will be an Orwellian method of talking about the introduction of a new quality, and in fact we already have the first symptom of retaliation, namely the excision of Elżbieta Witek.”
This involves saying, “I love you all,” while being ejected. This will be a good uncle who visits various charities. This was Hołownia’s specialty when he was in the period between leaving TVN and entering politics. Then he helped an orphanage in Africa. He took part in several debates, he had a great trick called: I am listening to you, you are talking about domestic disputes, and my thoughts are already among my charges on the mainland. This is important, I am there, I see the magnitude of the problems
– remembered Piotr Semka.
The publicist pointed out that Hołownia is “an excellent actor who has learned roles, but sometimes falls off the beaten path.”
He’s playing too well, just like when he cried about the Constitution. Do not underestimate that this is the first politician in a long time to hold a high position, apart from Andrzej Duda, who can be associated with the younger generation, over 40. The question is to what extent it will be “voracious”
– said Piotr Semka.
Karpiński goes to the European Parliament
The conversation also touched on the issue of Włodzimierz Karpiński. Hołownia announced that he had signed documents informing three people of their priority in obtaining a mandate for the European Parliament. Włodzimierz Karpiński, former secretary of the Warsaw City Hall and former minister in the PO-PSL government, left prison where he had been staying since February. He was arrested in connection with the so-called waste scandal. He was accused of corruption in concluding waste management contracts in Warsaw. Karpiński was on the list of the European Coalition in the 2019 European Parliament elections. However, he did not receive a mandate as a member of the European Parliament. Krzysztof Hetman, who has just won a seat in the Polish Sejm, has become a MEP from this list. Joanna Mucha should have gone to the European Parliament under Hetman, but she was also elected to the Polish parliament. The next eligible to become a MEP would be Riad Haidar, but the politician died in May this year. Ultimately, the EP mandate goes to the next candidate: Karpiński.
Teresa Bochwic admitted that she was disappointed “that cases at the prosecutor’s offices take so long.”
I don’t know who is right. Such an investigation does not have to take that long
– she said.
Antoni Trzmiel recalled that Spain faced a similar situation, but this man did not go to the European Parliament there. He added that there is also the issue of Eva Kaili.
This is not a marginal issue. If Karpiński sits next to Eva Kaila, it will put Poland in a very bad position, because they will decide in an instant whether there is a rule of law in Poland or not. He got something very important: he was released from the detention center in Mysłowice to Brussels. He represents Poland there
– Trzmiel emphasized, adding that “it was a PO trap for Hołownia, which shows that Tusk’s ability to negotiate everything is very weak.”
According to Marek Formela, the whole matter is difficult for Szymon Hołownia, both socially and politically.
The lack of response from the PO is surprising. There is permission for direct promotion, no one distances themselves from Karpiński. I share Teresa Bochwic’s comments
– Added Formela.
