It happened – presidential candidates began to see that there is simply a conflict of interest between business and the population, corporations pay besides low taxes, and their contribution to the budget is negligible. And they're talking about it out loud. “If request for workers is increasing and these workers are not there, then wages simply gotta increase,” 1 of them says.
Is that Zandberg? No! No! He's an entrepreneur's favourite and taxation collector. Good sense Sławomir Mentzen. Don't you believe it? perceive to his conversation with prof. Dudek.
One of the leaders of the Confederacy touched on many threads that are pleasing to the left ear: he spoke of the inhabitants of cities who “have the right not to want individual to poison them with water and air” that the eco-standard economy of entrepreneurs is being spared “with a clear external cost to society”. Is he not afraid of being accused of eco-terrorism or named a socialist?
Cynic and Sociological
Rafał Trzaskowski learned to bite his tongue and after 3 months of run no 1 can cast a lefty on him. Meanwhile, Sławomir Mentzen freely tells about the fact that business is shifting costs to people and to nature. possibly it is thanks to him that specified left-wing, unpopular, disqualifying subjects in the run will be mainstreamed in our public debate?
Mentzen drives around smaller cities, leading a very professional and consistent campaign. He has already visited dozens of counties and is fighting for all electorate, reaching far beyond his default base, or young men. Now the vote for him is announced by half the men before 40 And more and more women.
Mentzen is not offended by sociologists. erstwhile investigation reveals that women must appear in the campaign, these are: his run is supported by the Euro MP Zajączkowska and Anna Bryłka, who on the 3rd anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine together with Mentzen went to execute a show in Lviv.
For all cool thing – for young people, especially women, there are statements about taxation of giants and conservation of nature, for their older colleagues – provocations that bring out historical dead bodies from the closet of the country where soldiers and civilians are killed, and which will gladly show Russian television. After returning from Lviv Mentzen on Polsat TV argued that Ukrainians hatred Poles.
The Confederacy was besides clearly reaching for an older, populist right-wing electorate, which had been managed by the Law and Justices so far – a fewer months ago it was seen that it was increasing on the wave of settlements of the Kaczyński organization conducted by the government. But during the committees of inquiry, Confederates frequently turned out to be much calmer than Coalition MPs on October 15. In the substance of collecting immunity from the PiS Members, they were not unanimous either, showing the PiS and its voters that they could work out.
They besides benefit more from the crack in the largest Western alliance. For the Law and Justice, anti-Russianism was an component of the image, and they are coming after Lech Kaczyński – like pro-Americanism. Trump's violent turn in politics has caused clear confusion. At the last programme convention, the candidate for president was not reminded, for almost all erstwhile ones, of Lech Kaczyński's mission to Georgia in 2008 and the long anti-Russian tradition.
Little was said about safety at all, and assurances about the good relation between Andrzej Duda and the White home fell light due to the fact that everyone saw Rachoni brothers' awkwardness in preparing this visit and mocking the president, whose tv Republic showed for 50 minutes, circling around the table – lonely, tense and helpless. In addition, the Law and Justice Office has not utilized time since 2022 to support the Polish arms industry, and the dismantling of services and cleaning in the military behind Macierewicz is already mostly known.
The Confederacy has been consistently anti-Ukrainian, cynical, recognising violence, a policy that understands business. This makes Trump and Vance’s rhetoric easy to find, and seeing Musk’s support for AfD, with which sits in 1 group in the European Parliament – he can number on similar.
Her delegates have been riding the myths of the European right-wing populists movement, whose founder is Steve Bannon, Trump's colleague. besides a thoughtful, profiled tour of region Poland reminds of the AfD offensive in the Lands of the erstwhile GDR. At the same time Krzysztof Bosak boldly declaresThat Russia is the aggressor, not Ukraine, as Trump tries to convince everyone.
Nationalist buckle
The commentators and observers of political life powerfully realized that as part of the electoral run can lie, confuse facts and change views, but will Mentzen's inconsistency pass? Can we be in favour of and against environmental regulations? For paying taxes and vice versa, against the cost simplification of employers and behind them?
Apparently, yes. First of all, fewer people check this consistency and have time to verify lies, and a message closed in short phrases can be directed to different bubbles. Besides, what binds these slogans is nationalism. Taxes should be paid by abroad capital, not Polish entrepreneurs. Let the race for cheaper work not force on the Polish business of recruiting migrants who at Mentzen are always presented as a physical threat to Poles and Poles. And let no 1 forget that according to nationalistic logic we are truly alone, surrounded by possible enemies, so we gotta stick with the biggest bastard in the class.
Six months before the 2023 parliamentary election, Confederate support jumped to 14 percent to fall rapidly after it turned out that there were among Confederates amateur dogs, what organization politicians cover with the concept of freedom is frequently simple fascism, and declared freedom does not apply to women – for Mentzen, the current anti-abortion bill is far besides sly and rape pregnancies are just as dense as any other.
This time even falling erstwhile in a while the mask may not be adequate to reverse the growth trend – without Braun and Korwin it is easier to keep appearances.
