Rafał Trzaskowski will not have an easy task. Karol Nawrocki he took off spectacularly, exhilaratingly, convincingly, and sometimes touchingly. It was announced by Andrzej Nowak, a prominent historian, who appeared at the convention in Hala “Sokół” in Krakow as the chair of the civilian committee.
Taken? Was that yesterday?
Citizens' Committees have a long tradition, in past textbooks, bloomed with a fewer words that do not quit their essence. Committees, associations, associations or leagues are bottom-up formations involving social and political citizens, whose existence we owe to the endurance of the partitions, the fight for independence. Their next appearances were "Solidarity" and the Workers' Defence Committee, and late the CODE – the Democracy Defence Committee. And although in Krakow he was present Antoni Macierewicz, 1 of the founders of the NRA, during the event they referred alternatively to committees remembered from the early 20th century, which supported the Polish independency movement.
The choice of place wasn't random either. The Association “Sokol” started in Lviv in the second half of the 19th century as the Gymnastic Society, aimed at promoting sports, organizing professions, training athletes. This was done in support of the independency movement, due to the fact that “Sokols” were created in all partitions, in many cities, and on the occasion of organized professions, patriotic environments from Austrian, Prussian and Russian partitions could meet. During planet War I, the “Sokola” teams co-founded the Polish Legions, and during the full period of the 20th century attracted influential figures associated with the endecimal environment.
This can be known, you may not know, but you could see in subsequent speeches the desire to emphasize the historical continuity and find the rate of the upcoming elections, which in the PiS communicative is meant to be sovereignty. Polish Catholic, national, conventional is facing Russia and the European Union with large projects of Polish atom, CPK and preservation of conventional Polish agricultural farms.
Listening to the next speeches, I had the impression that the politicians making them travel through time and levitate around the beginning of the 20th century, and the dreams of large Poland are expected to cover the trauma of the partitions, as if they were inactive standing. Karol Nawrocki repeated all the PiS slogans concerning the threat that hangs over Poland that "it will be inhabited by EU citizens of Polish origin". He besides reiterated another written convictions that it was the coalition government on 15 October that broke the constitution, making neo-Judges and ignoring the TK.
A citizen who rode a tram and did not selfie
It is the complete bonding of the views of the "citizen" candidate with the ideological-propagand line of the PiS that requires the usage of quotes. However, it is understandable why the PiS reached for this formula.
First, to win against the primary in KO. KO has shown itself to be democratic, setting up its candidate on the way of interior discussions. PiS proved to be "citizen" – reacting not only to the votes of members of the party, but besides to the voice of the public – supporting the candidate proposed by the citizens' committee, or 168 pro-scriptural intellectuals, from Cenckiewicz to Fiszbach. It was a loose-knit solution, which betrayed PiS MP Jan Mosiński, showing “the passing of the day” – i.e. a text from Nowogrodzka with information about civilian alternatively than organization character of the convention in Krakow.
By issuing a candidate for "citizen", the Law and Justice besides tries to cut him off from all written abuses that are and will be settled – Willi plus Black, Red is Bad Morawiecki is defining of Macerewicz.
Therefore, the organization decided to be a candidate of the "national agreement", as the president of the Law and Justice organization spoke of. Above divisions, the doctor, but from a working household who drove a tram to work and did not consider it extraordinary adequate to make a selfie – this message to Trzaskowski. Historian, Father (“It’s a large honor for me. Dad, I invitation you to the stage” said the eldest boy of Karol Nawrocki – Daniel), husband. Of course, "over divisions" between the Law and the Confederacy, due to the fact that its ideological recognition leaves no doubt. possibly any of the PSL voters could besides vote for him.
Most importantly, specified a candidate may have the possible to awaken a “sleeping giant”. This is what the president of the civilian committee, historian Andrzej Nowak, called for, and that is what the candidate Nawrocki asked for – to set up committees, gatherings, activity, due to the fact that this is simply a "battle for Poland".
Trzaskowski is not a fake
The release and "sealing" of Rafał Trzaskowski as a candidate of the Civic Coalition may indicate that Donald Tusk besides wants to play 2 pianos, populist and civil. Trzaskowski was the default candidate for human rights organisations, Civil, climatic and youth, women's – word, democratic.
Radosław Sikorski was to be able to tempt a alternatively conservative electorate, and this liberal-left 1 was to bow down in the name of reason. Eventually, the same electorate was mobilized, which allowed PiS to be removed from power in October 2023.
While Karol Nawrocki will be a vehicle of the thought of large Projects, Rafał Trzaskowski may be a vehicle of ideas equal to pavements, green cities, friendly offices, good education, in general the state he provides, is efficient, rational, specified “a cool country to live in”, where democracy can develop.
The biggest drawback of Donald Tusk's populist game is that the PiS will always be better in populism – due to the fact that it's more authentic, and why have a copy erstwhile you can have the original? Trzaskowski is not a fake, for the last fewer years he has become a real self-government, knowing the importance of seemingly tiny things, specified as public transport, access to doctors whose conscience orders to save a woman, not to wait for a sepsis to develop, but besides larger ones – like equality of all regardless of religion and gender. Trzaskowski can even tell about safety in a way that is understandable to civilians, talking about hospitals, shelters, education.
After months of uncertainty and standing in the shadow of Donald Tusk, modest attitude even on his own Campus, decent and friendly (as his supporters see) Rafał Trzaskowski gained a fresh glow. If he shows that thanks to good management and money from KPO he will end the division into Poland A and B – he can win even any conservative voices. due to the fact that it's the division, not the partition, that's more crucial right now. Seeing him and trying to cross him, Rafał Trzaskowski will show, unlike Nawrocki, that he is reasoning about the future alternatively than playing ancient battles.
If the government goes to reason and decriminalizes abortion by the Sejm so that the signing of this bill, which represents a seven-mile step on the way to actual democracy, could be 1 of the first acts of the fresh president, will gather the support of women from cities, towns and villages – wherever women protested after the TK's sentence.
I hope that the government will aid him in this; that behind the candidacy of Trzaskovsky there will be more rational decisions and investments, and possibly even alternatively ‘Tusk Shaft’ "Trzaskovsky protections" task will be created.
All right, I got a small dreamy, but little megalomania and more reason is what we request right now. If Rafał Trzaskowski is simply a vehicle of specified a project, we will all benefit from it.
