Rafał Trzaskowski was a good candidate for president in 2020, erstwhile he ruled the Law and was seeking the regulation of law. present the situation has changed, it is about security, here I have strong papers – he tried to convince the head of the MFA Radosław Sikorski. He added that as president he would sign a bill allowing the killing of the unborn until 12 weeks, and besides explained what his wife said about Donald Trump.
On Saturday, the National Board of the Civic Platform decided that most likely on 23 November the primaries will be conducted, in which members of the KO (PO, Modern, Initiative Poland and Greens) will elect a candidate of the Coalition for president in 2025. Candidates in the primaries are: president of Warsaw, Deputy Head of PO Rafał Trzaskowski and Head of MFA Radosław Sikorski. The winner of the primary is to present his program on December 7 in Silesia.
– I think Rafał Trzaskowski has the right to want to get even for losing to Andrzej Duda. It's understandable, and it's not a question of superiority or inferiority, but we're just different. I think Rafał was a good candidate in 2020 erstwhile he ruled the Law and was seeking the regulation of law, but present the situation has changed. present is about security. Here I have firm papers said on Tuesday on TVN24 Sikorski.
As he noted, according to media reports, PiS presently as a candidate is looking for a "her Trump", or individual brutal and harsh. – I think if they find one, I mean, he needs a strong fighter, too. said Sikorski. He added that as a boy from the Bydgoszcz yard, he would better handle individual like that than Trzaskowski.
On the waves of Trump's victory, Sikorski began to make peculiar thesis about his expected views. He stressed that the presidential candidate and then the president should be a individual who will combine both liberal sensitivity in economical matters and... "conservative". erstwhile asked about his expected conservatism, he replied that it is, among others, a attachment to tradition and also... the sources of European civilization. – I believe that in the second circular it is crucial who can grow the electorate. I believe that, for example, in the Polish People's organization I have a better chance of attracting this electorate “The head of the MFA pointed out.
In practice, Sikorski showed what this “conservative” would look like erstwhile he declared that as president he would sign a bill allowing the unpunished execution of unborn children by 12 weeks, as well as a law on alleged partnerships.
When asked about gay “marriage” he replied that this is simply a substance of... ‘Dignity’. – People want not only applicable benefits, they want their relation to be publically recognized as a fact that they feel good about each other, with their partner – he noted.
When asked about the possible extension of the powers of the president of the Republic, he pointed out that president Andrzej Duda had made a mistake in trying to "put" the president into shaping European policy. – And here we have a difference with Rafał indeed, due to the fact that he says he would like to prosecute himself in European politics. And this, in my opinion, is absolutely the prerogative of the government. The President's office has no organization competence to manage European policy – he said.
He besides stated that on the board of PO it was decided that there would be no debate between him and Trzaskowski, although he pointed out that he would appear for specified a debate. He besides pointed out that he was supported by many politicians in KO, e.g. Euro MP Bogdan Zdrojewski or Marshal of the legislature of Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska.
Sikorski besides referred to critical statements that Donald Trump's U.S. President-elect Donald Trump formulated, among others, his wife Anne Appelbaum, an American journalist. In The Atlantic, she compared Trump's rhetoric to Adolf Hitler's rhetoric, including Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini.
– The fact that Donald Trump uses flowery language is an understatement. He proved by appointing J.D. Vance as his vice president that he was putting things behind him. J.D. Vance called Trump Hitler, and present he is vice president-elect at Donald Trump. said Sikorski. He added that between fairy tales 1 should put the view that critical statements against Trump would hinder relations with the US. – Trump is known for trading. He will be guided by his business and the United States. – he noted.
Sikorski, who continues the faithful policy of the Law and Justice towards Kiev, began to convince at any point that he was a "man with character", and that would be a proof of that... of putting matters straight in contact with Volodymyr Zelenski. erstwhile asked about his critical remarks towards Trump Sikorski, he replied that he could tell people what he thought. – I could tell that to the Russian ambassador to the UN safety Council. I could even tell president Zelensk about Volyn. said Sikorski.
When asked about Anne Appelbaum Sikorski, he emphasized that she is “an outstanding writer and historian and can make a immense contribution to Polish-American relations.”
At the end of the program conducting the interview, Monika Olejnik asked the head of the MFA about an article in the “Common Week” that “for members of the Civic Coalition the problem is the origin of his wife”. – It is already a secular tradition that the first ladies should be judaic people “The head of the MFA replied and left the studio while the cameras were on.
A minute later, he addressed this issue on the X platform. "I find it unacceptable to set the candidate's wife's origin as a subject in the presidential election. Against the innuendo of ed. We are not an anti-Semite country. I request TVN and Warner Bros./Discovery to reconstruct journalism standards," Sikorski wrote.
He besides referred to the case on platform X Rafał Trzaskowski. “A wife, children, a household is sacred. Support for Anne and Radek," he wrote.
