It was not essential to be a prophet to foretell the results of the May 18, 2025 vote. The chances of individual outside the first 2 taking part in the second circular were minimal, but possibly it was good. Looking at the last behaviour of the 3rd candidate in the race, I conclude that he competed in the election, mainly to boost the ratings of his channel, what he managed to do – yet subscriptions sprang like manna from heaven during talks he had with candidates for president from PiS and PO. If his request for signing the mocked autobiography was besides considered to be a manifestation of entrepreneurship, I cannot qualify for a later gathering with Mr. Sikorski as a waste of the political capital collected over the years of the decaying Confederation. It's hard to say, you gotta focus on the second round, on Plan B.
I'd alternatively not choose between PIS and PO marketers, but unfortunately we don't live in the perfect world. This is about the independency of candidates qualified for the second round. However, as regards the choice between Mr Nawrock and Mr Trzaskowski, I will not say that on Sunday I choose little evil, due to the fact that the qualitative difference between (far from ideal) the candidate of the right and his painted countercandidate is so clear that I will call it fundamental. Mr.Trzaskowski yet reflects all that Poles rejected the Platform for – empty promises, mediocre management, overeating home product, freedom leading to the demolition of national identity, bravery and contempt for their fellow countrymen and service towards abroad countries. It may go for a beer with Mr Mentzen, or even a pilgrimage to Jasna Góra, but it will not change the fact that it is simply a typical of a corrupt political class, which Poland treats as a diner and a trampoline. The perfect candidate for president for our neighbours, economical competitors and all those willing to milk the Polish cow, from lenders and corporations, starting with ecologists and visitors from the east.
Is it not amazing that the EU dignitaries have been quiet for weeks? They do not protest even erstwhile the Polish Prime Minister, lying for the campaign, says that he will not agree to relocations of immigrants. There's nothing to jinx, everything goes in the right direction, details worked out. Mr Tusk, a second-class passenger declared full cooperation between his and the future president in further deepening the ties between Poland and the EU. Everyone in suspense expects the last dam to be removed, so that modernity, liberalism and diversity in all possible forms can flourish (as they did in France, Belgium or large Britain) on this land, for good spreading crushing the concrete of the wall of Poland.
Ideally suitable for this is the cynic, who in all conviction mocks the intelligence of Poles, cosmopolitan about liberal-left views mixed with the ideology of fresh Age, fighting religion and tradition in the name of having to supply a world-neutral environment for all. The authorities of the Platform do not head that with this thorough education and social experience, he is so upset that before public appearances he needs the support of a psychotherapist. It's crucial that his fake grin gives the parties a winning election. little important, how will he deal later, in talks with fat fish like Trump, Putin, or Jinping (well, I shot with this calibre – let individual be from our orbit: Mr Orban, Mr Zelenski, or Mrs ‘Barakuda’ Von der Layen). I'm afraid that confronting them may end in depression for him, and it won't aid the experience of fighting sea snakes or diving with sharks he described in autobiography.
As for Mr.Nawrocki, I am waning my forehead and closing my eyes to the soaps about his independence. independency present and in the future. I do not presume a break from the chain of Law and Justice, but as a erstwhile athlete in the field of street martial arts, his character will most likely not miss him and has a chance to do better than the current president (which will not be a large feat). In contrast to the mistakes of youth, I think that as a historian, an worker of the planet War II Museum and the IPN, the crimes committed in Poles (also crimes of omission or violation of a given word) have much to say and that thanks to these experiences he will show limited assurance in relations with our many paper allies, or even a more pragmatic approach to the issue of Ukraine.
I do not measurement the level of patriotism of politicians the number of shares in celebrations of state anniversary and marches of independence. However, I will never vote for individual who is arrogant of his origin and is attached to the Homeland to call Poles fascists, which happened respective times to the current president of Warsaw and many representatives of his environment – politicians, activists waving the Constitution, journalists, activists in rainbow shirts, with the Chief Rabbi of Poland at the head. As I wrote before the first round, being the face of this organization or of another organization is not adequate to become a typical of a nation with a 1000 years of history, especially if you follow (or desire to follow) the way that has repeatedly brought this nation to ruin. I have quite a few comments on Mr Nawrocki (as well as on the full falsely virtuous and spiritual right), but there is something behind him that I cannot dispute – a certain coherence of reasoning with the direction in which Poland should follow, in order to last the next decades, as Poland yet.
