The tension in the ruling coalition reaches zenith, and there is simply a political crisis on the horizon that can shake the foundations of the government. Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented a plan for a deep reorganization that assumes the creation of powerful “superministers” and a crucial simplification in positions. However, according to Onetu's findings, his proposal faces strong opposition from the key coalitionist – Marshal of the Sejm Simon Holownia. The situation is further complicated by the information about the mysterious gathering of Polish leader 2050 with prominent Law and Justice politicians. Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of this coalition?
Plan Tusk: 2 superministeries and less officials
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, aiming to increase efficiency and streamline decision-making processes, offered his coalition partners a real revolution in the structure of the government. The key component of the plan is consolidating economical and energy ministries in 2 powerful ministries. The aim is to end the current "Competency Chaos", where tasks related to energy are dispersed between the Ministry of Climate and the Ministry of Industry.
According to Onetu, the fresh “superministeries” would focus all key decisions on the economy and energy transition in 1 place, allowing for faster and more coherent strategical management of areas for the country. But that is not all. Prime Minister's plan besides assumes reducing the number of ministers and their deputies by about 20 percent. specified a decision would not only bring savings, but would besides send a signal about the weight failure of administration. The proposal was presented to the coalition leaders: Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish, Włodzimierz Czarzaste and Szymon Holownia.
The hoard is resisting. He's playing for the marshal in the background?
The Prime Minister's initiative, although logical from a management perspective, immediately triggered tensions within the coalition. According to the sources of the Onet portal, the Marshal of the Sejm and the leader of Poland 2050, Szymon Hołownia, resists the top resistance. Officially, his surroundings talk about the request for careful analysis and consultation, but the interviewers at the Prime Minister's Chancellery point to a completely different political background to this opposition.
According to 1 of Onetu's informants, the Holovnia multiplies doubts and delays decisions due to the fact that in fact It's about getting back to talking about keeping him as talker of the Sejm.. According to the coalition agreement, half the word of office is to be rotated in this position, and the marshal's seat is to be taken over by Vladimir Czarzasta of the Left. opposition to government reconstruction can so be a bargaining chip in Holovnia's game of preserving 1 of the most crucial functions in the state. This puts loyalty and unity within the ruling camp in question.
A secret night meeting. What was Holownia doing with PiS politicians?
The atmosphere surrounding the reconstruction dispute was further heated by the information that electrified the Polish political scene. Radio writer Zet, Mariusz Giersszewski, revealed that a private gathering took place last night in which he participated Szymon Hołownia and Euro MP PiS Adam Bielan. Moreover, a car was besides seen on the scene, which is usually moved by the president of Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński.
Although the details of the talks stay a mystery, and the gathering may have been purely social, its word and composition evoke large speculation. In the context of friction in the coalition and the blockade by the Holovnia of Tusk's plans, his nightly talks with key opposition figures take on a clear political dimension. There were immediately questions in the seismic spheres about Whether Simon Holovnia plays both sides And whether he's probing the anticipation of creating an alternate political system. specified a decision would be an open declaration of obedience to the Prime Minister and could lead to the disintegration of the government.
What's next for the coalition? Screenplays for the Donald Tusk Government
The current situation puts the future of the ruling coalition under a immense question mark. There are respective possible scenarios on the table. The first, most optimistic for the government, assumes that Holowna's opposition is only a form of hard negotiation that will end in compromise. The Prime Minister can agree to any concessions and the talker will yet support the key reforms.
The second script is much more pessimistic. If Simon Holovnia decides to have an open conflict and continues to talk to the opposition, this could lead to a deep government crisis. Losing the majority in the Sejm would paralyze the government's work and could consequently lead to even early elections. The next fewer weeks will be crucial. They will show whether the “revolution” planned by Tusk in the government will come to fruition or become an inflammatory spark that will destruct the fragile unity of the coalition on October 15.
