Early elections should be the coalition’s slogan on October 15. The declaration that we are unable to govern because of the president’s obstruction and that we must be given a stronger mandate to reject them could be an extremely strong electoral demand, Aleksander Kwaśniewski told “Wprost”.
Kwaśniewski told “Wprost” that Jarosław Kaczyński’s party is running a campaign under the slogan “we want faster elections because we will regain power.” According to him, the ‘slogan of early elections’ should be the slogan of the coalition on October 15.
The declaration that we are unable to govern because of the president’s obstruction and that we must be given a stronger mandate to reject them could be an extremely strong electoral demand that will mobilize the electorate of the ruling coalition.
– says the former president. He added that “then the outcome of the administration could be better and at the same time devastating for the president because his veto will be overturned. Then Andrzej Duda would have no instruments.
When asked whether he would advise the ruling coalition to hold early elections, he replied that “if the obstacle is so great that the president will by definition veto the most important issues, this will be the only political solution.” Especially since – as Kwaśniewski noted – the government has not lost its supporters in recent months.
The former president emphasized that the actions of Donald Tusk’s coalition, which are considered illegal even by many people who do not sympathize with PiS, are generally liked by the majority of voters of the parties that form the current government.
If he cleans up on TV, it is in line with the expectations of his voters, and if Kamiński and Wąsik sit, it is also in line with the expectations of the voters. Those in power did not discourage their electorate. In a year or two this will be different, because it will turn out that the issues that some voters were waiting for cannot be met.
– said the former president.
What will happen if President Duda Maciej pardons Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński again?
Some will argue that the president has admitted his mistake, and the president could argue for another pardon, claiming it saves honest people. This is the simplest solution and puts an end to the matter at this stage. The lords regain their freedom, but their mandates are lost. That’s not a big accident, because in a few months we will have another election in which they can stand as candidates. First the local government, then the European Parliament
– said Kwaśniewski.
As you can see, Aleksander Kwaśniewski is convinced that early elections could lead to Donald Tusk’s coalition gaining a majority, allowing it to override the president’s veto. However, if you look at the protests of Poland, outraged by the subsequent illegal actions of the government, you may doubt this. The number of social groups misled by Donald Tusk’s coalition will also most likely increase. Today we can already hear how disappointed teachers are.
