German media with satisfaction noted that the Donald Tusk government began to reorganize the Polish culture after PIS rule. It was noted that this shows that Germany is important for the policy of the Polish government. “The government of Tusk reorganizes the Polish cultural institutions after the national conservative PIS party. Unlike them, it does not break everything in pieces. It focuses on integration and creation of offers for Germans” – It was written in “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”.
“Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung “published a text in which he stated that” nationalism “ended in Polish culture.
The Tusk government reorganizes the Polish cultural institutions after the National PIS party. Unlike them, they do not break everything into pieces. Focuses on integration and creation of offers for Germans
– The German daily emphasized satisfaction.
A year and a half after the election victory of the Citizen Platform in October 2023, the consequences of the National Catholic takeover of Central Polish cultural institutions are still felt. For eight years, the party of Jarosław planted Kaczyński positions, created new institutions and offered them generous financing as part of an ideological campaign
– Added in “phases”.
It’s about stools
According to German historian Felix Ackermann, it is very important to change staff into management positions in different cultural institutions, such as the Museum before the Second World War, the Museum of Polish History or Zachęta.
The new management comes from a generation, which is no longer characterized by the eternal conflict of generating solidarity, which connects Kaczyński and Tusk, despite all the differences between them
He said.
The historian emphasized that the new authorities in Poland the Institute of Heritage of National Thought, including Roman Dmowski, and for the form of institutions such as the Pilecki Institute and the Institute for National Remembrance, the fight is still underway.
The German daily daily pointed out that the importance of Berlin for Polish politics is proven by the fact that in the German capital there are Pilecki Institute, Polish Institute of Historical Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences. They had to be supplemented with a “modern, liberal living room”.
Generation change? Is it?
It is interesting that Ackermann assessed that after Donald Tusk had taken over the power, the new Polish government reportedly accepted the methods used by the previous PIS office. It was assumed – the case of him – the reason for “consumption” of minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz and the reason to exchange him with Hanna Wróblewska.
After the election victory of Donald Tusk, the Ministry of Culture in Warsaw initially took over some of the PIS government techniques to quickly get control of central institutions. In this way, however, in the year of its Minister of Culture Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz and State Secretary Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, the new government became visible in May 2024, earlier in May 2024, the calm management of the Minister of Culture Hanna Wróblewska.
He noticed.
In his opinion, the “generation change” in cultural institutions, which according to him – according to him – should be a deviation from the old, existing post -solidarity division, which was aimed at Donald Tusk’s conflict with Jarosław Kaczyński.
The new management comes from a generation, which is no longer characterized by the eternal conflict of generating solidarity, which, despite all the differences, connects Kaczyński and Tusk. For a return to normality it is important that the government respects personal decisions from the last years of PIs, if there are no legal grounds to remove from the position
He assessed.
