Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik are already at large, but the PiS consistently tries to build a story around both politicians. Andrzej Duda tells the truth That they both fought corruption. Politicians of the writing camp walk in buttons with their images. The PiS March organized on 11 January besides mostly revolved thematically around these 2 gentlemen. What effect?
Further polls show that PiS fails to build a myth. Even before the 2 gentlemen are released from prison ‘Rzeczpospolita’ She asked if erstwhile CBA bosses should be pardoned. "Yes" was answered by 17.8% of respondents, but 57% of respondents responded "no". 25.2% of respondents "have no opinion".
After Wąsik and Kamiński left the prison on Tuesday, we learned the results Virtual Poland pollIn which they asked whether you should keep your parliamentary credentials. More specifically, the question was: ‘Do you think that as a consequence of a possible political consensus between the ruling camp, the Presidential Palace and the opposition (PiS) Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik should hold parliamentary credentials?’
"Definitely not" replied 43.6 percent of respondents, "preferably not" – 13.6 percent. For this, “yes definitely” indicated 25.4% of the questions asked, and “yes” 8.7%. In the group of PiS and Confederacy voters 55 percent are powerfully in favour of the Members retaining their parliamentary mandates and no 1 is decisive for them.
I will skip the fact that this question suggests that Kamiński and Wąsik parliamentary mandates can “behave”. In this case, we can hear different opinions, but the legal authorities that I perceive to, specified as Ewa Łętowska, say that Wąsik and Kamiński have been sentenced and so have lost their parliamentary mandate. Period.
Although it is known that polls are only a part of reality, they consistently show that most of the asked people believe that Kamiński and Wąsik should not be pardoned and should not return to the parliamentary benches.
There were no crowds under the prisons—neither erstwhile the gentlemen were there, nor erstwhile they were leaving. The transfer of the Camp of Law and Justice seemed coherent – we heard that they were heroes of the fight against corruption and besides "political prisoners".
Let us be clear that political prisoners are in prisons in Belarus. The political prisoner is Andrzej Poczobut, not 2 CBA guys, convicted by a final conviction for forgery.
But besides the coherence of the party's message is easy to question: we hear stories of oppressed heroes whose wellness in prison is at risk, while president Andrzej Duda long waited to pardon them. Even Jarosław Kaczyński yet slipped out a fewer days ago, that he hoped that “the president would decide and yet release”, because, as Kaczyński added, “with the method he applied, it could last another year.”
If they're specified heroes, why did they gotta wait so long to be pardoned? If their detention is simply a political game, how did both gentlemen get out of prison so quickly? This story doesn't make sense and people see it.
Of course, not on specified pharmacized PiS myths he built – see Smolensk myth. But the Smolensk lesson shows that building a story is simply a work for years that begins with sowing doubt, convincing the toughest electorate and consistent repetition of untruth. The question is, if the PiS in today's form has adequate strength and resources.
It must besides be acknowledged that mainstream media is very helpful in this work. For weeks now, we have been reading all day about the fact that they transported you from 1 city to another, and just after that, political comment that they ate or ate and what it meant for Poland. The clips are flying, the ratings are holding. Is that how we know and realize more? I uncertainty it. But the telenovela continues, and the faces of both gentlemen do not come off the media wallpaper. It's only better for the political myth. Not for all of us.
