The photo you see above was taken on May 30, 2020. It was a hot period of the presidential campaign and Andrzej Duda and Mateusz Morawiecki met at a restaurant in Krynica Morska right after they visited the Vistula Spit trench construction site.
Honestly, then everything was in a state of… to say the least, temporary. Excavated area, many construction machines and people protesting. At the time, populist slogans were used: “Hospitals, not the Mierzeja”. It reached many people, because the emergency seemed more urgent than any pear on a willow tree. Duda’s opponents in the election, Rafał Trzaskowski and Szymon Hołownia, demanded that the investment be suspended.
It took a lot of imagination to visualize what IT should look like. The Prime Minister and the President then spoke on the beach and pointed to where one day, in the future, there will be a shipping channel.
Today we are on the cusp of the canal opening. And it will happen, even if Gazeta Wyborcza swears to reality, which it has been doing every day for a while now. He tells how bad it is, how expensive it is and how much it will worsen the lives of local residents. Of course, someone will always be dissatisfied, but I was in the surrounding places and spoke to people who live there. In the ditch of the Wisla Spit they see an opportunity for themselves and the region in the first place. You don’t really need to explain the profit of this investment to them.
I also think that the Poles living inland will understand. Then, in the 2020 campaign, I heard firsthand how people reacted when Andrzej Duda said that thanks to the excavation, we never have to ask Russia for permission to influence our own territorial waters. This is a big problem.
The opposition is in trouble. Because the ditch of the Vistula Spit is evidence of the committing of this authority. And it will probably be one of the banners carried during the parliamentary campaign. We promised and it is! Just like the dam on the border with Belarus that protects Poland from a hybrid attack. It shouldn’t have been there, as Donald Tusk said. Meanwhile, it fulfills and fulfills all its role.
The toast to the President and Prime Minister’s Spit in 2020 may have been premature. Tomorrow such a gesture can be made with the full sense of duty well done.
