Lech Walesa one more time decided to save the nation with his drama worthy of soap opera. On the occasion of the failure of his favourite – Rafał Trzaskowski – he announced... interior emigration. “Good-bye Poland” writes the erstwhile president, as if Poland was about to fall apart without his blessing.
It is hard to defy the impression that Lech Wałęsa lives in an alternate reality in which individual inactive takes him seriously.
Karol Nawrocki won the election with a evidence score – only Wałęsa erstwhile won more votes. alternatively of congratulating him, Wałęsa launched a tirade: he called the fresh president "sutener, pimp, kibol, fraud, debt shark, liar and junkie". If he had added "the hawk of imperialism" – it would have been a return to the 1980s in full.
This isn't the first time that Wałęsa has a reality problem. erstwhile the elections don't go his way, he starts talking about the end of democracy. erstwhile he wins his option, Poland is saved. That's the logic of a man who hates democracy erstwhile he doesn't like the outcome. But note – it's all “with heartache”! due to the fact that “Poland is my homeland, but it is not my country anymore”. It is hard not to ask: is anyone else taking this seriously?
At the end of Wałęsa declares that she withdraws from public life and surrenders herself to books, nature and music. It's about time. If he had done it 20 years ago, he would have spared us many embarrassing performances. But well – as the classical says, better late than never.
