The president of the Institute of National Remembrance, Karol Nawrocki, will contest for the presidency on behalf of the independence democratic camp. However, he will run as a civilian candidate, supported by Law and Justice. In the latest issue of “Sieci” we read about the behind the scenes of this groundbreaking decision.

Dr. Karol Nawrocki is a right-wing candidate in the elections for the President of the Republic of Poland. However, it must be made clear: he will be a citizen candidate, nominated from the grassroots, who will only later receive formal support from Law and Justice. He is not a politician and did not belong to any party. So why does PiS want to bet on him?
As Jacek Karnowski notes in the article “Czas Nawrocki”, the future presidential candidate can be associated in public opinion with his activities at the Institute of National Remembrance and the Museum of the Second World War, where:
He fought heroically over the form of the exhibition, with historians involved in the Platform “forgetting” to include, for example, Capt. Pilecki, St. Maksymilian Kolbe or the Ulma family. He stood up against powerful people from his own environment, stood on the side of national dignity and truth. There was enormous pressure on him and he carried it out. He won that battle, also in the eyes of ordinary Poles
– writes Karnowski.
The journalist emphasizes that Nawrocki, the right-wing candidate, has a difficult task ahead of him, because it is not just about winning the elections, but above all about the future of Poland.
The campaign will, as always, be an uphill battle. This time it will be exceptionally tough and brutal, because the victory of the ruling camp will “close the system,” as Grzegorz Schetyna put it, and Tusk will try to destroy PiS completely. The chances of rebuilding independence and Polish development in the perspective of years, or perhaps even decades, will be illusory. The brutality will reach record levels […]. In turn, the victory of the PiS-backed candidate will accelerate the collapse of the coalition on December 13 and mark the beginning of its end, perhaps sooner and more violently than we think.
Donald Trump’s spectacular victory in the presidential elections forces us to take a closer look at his campaign and determine which elements of it the right wing can apply on Polish soil. Dariusz Matuszak notes in the article “Lessons from Abroad” that presidential campaigns in the United States involve enormous amounts of money, which are unattainable in our reality.
During her 100 days of running for the White House, Kamala Harris burned through approximately $1.5 billion. and ultimately left her in debt – at least $20 million. for unpaid bills. The magnitude and spectacularity of these fantastic amounts were even greater because they did not have to be used across an entire country the size of a continent. […]. Donald Trump compensated for the lack of such money with greater ingenuity and dedication. This is one of its characteristics that deserves great recognition. He spent more than a year on the campaign trail – first in the primaries he had to defeat his Republican Party rivals, and at the end of the race he held several rallies a day. […] It paid off. Among the people who decided last week who they would vote for, he won by no less than twelve points. — 56 percent to 44 percent Determination and consistency were also evident as he increased the intensity of the campaign after polls predicting Harris’ victory, which were intended to demobilize his electorate, failed and as celebrities began backing her in advance.
– writes Matuszak.
Dorota Łosiewicz writes in the article “An ambulance for childbirth” that the Ministry of Health announces the liquidation of some maternity wards that accept too few deliveries and generate hospital debts. Ambulances must transport women in labor to remote maternity wards. However, is Minister Izabela Leszczyna’s idea safe for women? This move will mean that in some regions the route to hospital for women giving birth could be significantly longer. The journalist asked specialists for their assessment of the Ministry of Health’s idea.
Waldemar Kraska, doctor, former Deputy Minister of Health, PiS senator: This is a bad idea. […] However, if the hospital is far away, deliveries may occur more often in ambulances than in delivery rooms. Nowadays this is rare. However, if a woman has several tens of kilometers to the nearest maternity ward, this will change. And an ambulance is not the best place to give birth. We are all trained, we all have the equipment, but childbirth is not always without complications. Positioning a baby is often difficult, even experienced midwives have problems delivering such a baby, let alone in our emergency department.
Stanisław Karczewski, former Senate President and physician:
There are places where very few births take place; for example, one child is born per week. However, the changes must be implemented in such a way that maximum safety for mother and child is guaranteed. Those entities that have the right staff and technical support should remain; these are skills acquired over the years. Closing the wards means that we will irreversibly lose maternity facilities.
