“Donald Tusk, do you want to test Jarosław Kaczyński’s recommendations? Really?” Jacek Kurski posted on X beneath Donald Tusk’s profile, while the Prime Minister offered a sharp, blunt take on Karol Nawrocki’s presidential bid. The exchange highlighted a clash of personalities that often characterizes contemporary Polish politics, with social media amplifying every jab and counterpunch.
Tusk mocks Nawrocki
On X the Prime Minister delivered a biting remark about Nawrocki’s candidacy for the presidency. He suggested that even within the governing party there are hardly any volunteers to carry the banner for PiS. The post drew a flood of responses, with critics firing back and supporters weighing in with their own interpretations of the exchange. The moment underscored how political theater on social platforms continues to influence public discourse around who should lead the country.
Hitting at Nawrocki’s bid, the Prime Minister framed the discussion as a test of broad appeal and party loyalty, noting the pressures inside PiS and the wider political landscape. Nawrocki’s position, described here as a bid for the office of President, was met with questions about readiness and the legacy left by the current administration, sparking debate about succession and the direction of national leadership.
The candidate appointed by President Kaczyński today will be “impartial and civil.” Even within PiS there are no people who want to stand as candidates for PiS. And it’s hardly surprising
– wrote Donald Tusk on X, signaling a cautious, if provocative, stance on the field of potential contenders and the standards he expects for the next phase of leadership.
Kurski answers
The former TVP president responded to the Prime Minister’s submission with a pointed retort, recalling the arc of his own political career and the roles he has played in national media and politics. Kurski argued that the record speaks for itself and framed the current exchange as part of a longer, broader conversation about who has shaped Poland’s political and media landscape.
PJK appointed six Prime Ministers and three Presidents of the Republic of Poland. There is no politician in the history of Poland who has achieved such feats. Some were indeed party members, others were not. It doesn’t matter. So far you’ve mentioned Bronek, Kopacz… and Kidawa-2%-Błońska. Even more modestly, they all came from PO. If I were you, I would remain solemnly silent for a moment
– wrote the former president of TVP, casting the discussion in terms of legacy, party lineage, and the perceived breadth of leadership within Poland’s political spectrum.
