Yesterday, the new parliamentary majority was outraged by media reports that President Andrzej Duda could appoint Donald Tusk’s new government on December 13, the anniversary of martial law. However, after the arrival of the PO leader, emotions subsided. “Good idea. This day marks the 21st anniversary of the end of the accession negotiations in Copenhagen, opening Poland’s path to the European Union,” wrote Leszek Miller on the X Platform. It is no wonder that this particular politician is the The date of December 13 is approached rather ‘casually’, but former Prime Minister Tomasz Lis – who was still burning with indignation yesterday – admitted that he was right.
Yesterday was pure outrage
Of course, this is, to say the least, malice on the part of President Duda, who, if he really wants to implement this kind of scenario, will clearly side with his former PiS colleagues in the Polish political dispute.
– thundered KO MP Marcin Bosacki in an interview with RMF FM, when asked about the information that President Andrzej Duda plans to appoint a new government on December 13.
Setting December 13 as the date of the swearing-in of the government proves Duda’s deep contempt for the victims of martial law and is an example of instrumentalizing history for petty, private ambitions unworthy of the head of state and the state itself . Enough of that annoying circus and macabre dance of PiS people around the transfer of power. Have some dignity!

Today is a good date
However, it turns out that one submission from PO leader Donald Tusk, who aspired to the position of Prime Minister, was enough for his political and media fans to change their perspective.
December 13, or Sinterklaas Lucia. Festival of sun and light. A nice date to start. Some people celebrate by sleeping until noon
– wrote Tusk.
MEP, former Prime Minister, former chairman of the SLD, once a sharp critic of Tusk’s government, now more platform-oriented than left-wing, Leszek Miller suggested another association with the date of December 13. All in all, it is perhaps no wonder that a former activist of the ZMS, and then of the Polish United Workers’ Party (from 1969 until its dissolution in 1990!) would rather forget what this date is associated with for many Poles.
The swearing-in of Prime Minister Tusk’s government on December 13 is a great idea. This day marks the 21st anniversary of the end of the accession negotiations in Copenhagen, opening Poland’s path to the European Union. Danish journalist Claus H. Petersen wrote about this event: ‘I have never experienced such a press conference in my career. I understood only five or six words, no one translated the Polish Prime Minister’s statement, but I understood something else. Here, in the Bella Center, in a small room reserved for Poland, where ten times more journalists than should have crowded in, it was here, just after the conclusion of the EU negotiations with the candidate countries, that the Second World War effectively ended
– he wrote on the X platform and added a photo of the cover of “Rzeczpospolita” with information about the end of negotiations.
It was the atmosphere, the tension, the bustle and the boundless joy of everyone present that said more than many political speeches. This is where the best journalists came from – from almost the whole world – and shared the joy of the Poles. Here too, those who knew that Poland, betrayed at Yalta, was being betrayed even further, could lose their long-standing sense of shame. I consider what Schröder offered at the last minute as a gesture of apology to the Poles. I just don’t think he had to wait that long.”
– he emphasized.
Tomasz Lis agreed that Miller was right.
Leszek Miller is right. The possible swearing-in of the government on December 13 should be seen as a form of commemoration of the 21st anniversary of the end of negotiations on the terms of our membership of the EU and as a form of celebratory reference to Poland’s European heritage and the European aspirations. of Poland.
As you can see, for some “the point of view depends on where you sit”, for others – on what political idols write/say.
