However, the real sensation happened after the debate. abroad Minister Radosław Sikorski published a recording on which he saw the discussion in the Torun pub belonging to Mentzen.

The net exploded. any praised politicians for breaking divisions, others accused Mentzen of betraying ideas. The curious individual rapidly referred to the case:

‘Z Nawrocki would have gone for a beer, too, but he didn't. I don't realize what any people mean. I don't belong to the mob, I don't belong to a cult. I'm going straight. I will not be enrolled in any of your camps. And politicians should be able to usually talk to each other.” Mentzen wrote.

Among Confederate politicians, the reactions were divided – any did not hide discontent, others considered the gathering spontaneous and innocent. A akin division is seen among commentators: any see a chance to reduce polarisation, others a threat to the perfect cohesion of political environments.

Is Mentzen coming out reinforced?

Regardless of interpretation, Sławomir Mentzen gains from all the confusion. His conversations with Trzaskowski and Jack Nawrock attracted immense attention, and his YouTube channel exceeded a million subscribers. It's a powerful capital before the next election.

Is a beer gathering just a momentary sensation, or is it the beginning of a fresh kind in Polish politics? Time will tell.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, I am truly tired of considering whether politicians from different parties can have a beer together and whether the galaxy will collapse from this, due to the fact that that exceeds the limits of my tolerance for absurdity. I've besides had adequate of the writers taking revenge on @SlawomirMentzenThat he wasn't like...

From Solidarity to Division: genesis of PiS and PO

The Solidarity Movement, created in the 1980s, was a mass social movement which played a key function in overthrowing communism in Poland. After a systemic transformation in 1989, Solidarity developed into various political groups. In time, there were interior divisions that led to the creation of separate parties, including Law and Justice and the Civic Platform.

Power exchange mechanism: ‘Share and rule’

For more than 3 decades, the political scene in Poland has been dominated by the Law and Justice Office, which alternately hold power. This cyclical mechanics can be seen as a ‘divide and rule’ strategy, where 2 dominant parties keep control of the policy, limiting the impact of another groups and alternate social voices.

The flow of politicians between PiS and PO

In Polish politics, there are cases of political transitions between PiS and PO, which may indicate the convergence of interests and the deficiency of clear ideological differences. An example is Mateusz Morawiecki, the current Prime Minister for the Law and Justice, who was a associate of the economical Council at the Prime Minister Donald Tusk from 2010 to 2012. Morawiecki, then president of BZ WBK Bank, participated in the work of the council as an economical expert. In later statements, he stressed that he was not a direct advisor to Tusk, and his function was limited to participation in the work of the council.

Conclusion

The dominance of the 2 political parties from the same social movement and the movement of politicians between them may rise questions about the real pluralism and quality of democracy in Poland. specified a deal can lead to a unchangeable power structure that does not always respond to the needs and expectations of citizens.
