The binder of Tusk's coalition is not lightning, but summertime regulation of law

This government is expected to connect Poles and Poles. Of course not all, but at least adequate to keep the Law and Justice behind the cordon of security, rebuild the control of the state and the impurity in Europe and in relations with the US, while not burning any organized group of voters dear to 1 of the coalition leaders. In fact, he has to prepare the country for frontal conditions. conduct an energy transformation, save ecosystems and public services from collapse, a young generation from an educational and residential disaster, and all generations from the wellness apocalypse.

At this point, it is hard not to think of the erstwhile metaphor of Robert Krasowski, who compared the situation of Prime Ministers of the Polish Government to a man balancing on a chair with 3 legs cut down – 90 percent of attention and energy he devotes to not falling off this chair.

In addition, all of this is happening in the conditions of large cleaning, as Tusk stressed in a fewer moments of his exposé, describing the tasks of the Minister of Culture, Minister-Coordinator of peculiar Services, Minister of Justice and, of course, of state assets. Of course, specified cleaning is simply a performance that mobilises the hard electorate well – let him throw a stone, who did not fantasize about grinding an unliked minister in a tar and a feather – but besides a process that will take months and years in any places, while hindering more constructive action.

The inaugural speech of Donald Tusk He faithfully reflects all the tensions, contradictions and apparent dangers.

The most crucial of these is the question of where to get the binder, the foundation of this old-new community, which not only divided the last 8 years. Cleaning Poland from the written pathologies, dressed in a powerfully moralizing message, it was for Tusk no-brainer. However, recalling from the seismic grandstand a shocking letter by Peter Jawsny, who In 2017 he set himself on fire in protest against breaking the constitution, many will have doubts. In me, besides – as well as exasperating all near-suicide death.

The problem is that the violation of the regulation of law, as the opposition has said over the years, has not aroused adequate emotions to bring about a change of power. The CODE or the Free Courts' movements do not change that. Similarly, mass feelings do not awaken a set of abstract (no substance that right) norms and principles as the basis of the community that Tusk had been divorcing for rather a long time.

This community could give human rights, specified as those who protested hundreds of thousands in the streets of cities and towns in the autumn of 2016, and then in the autumn and winter of 2020. The problem is, it's not full reflected by seismic arithmetic.

Since Tusk cannot pull red lightning on the flag, the coalition's binder and its back will stay for today's summertime "lawfulness". The boundary between moral blackmail and the right effort to give it gravitas In specified situations, it will always be thin.

Let us besides add that balancing between greatness and happening is art. Fortunately, Tusk as a skillful talker did not mix the sacrum with the profanum in 1 speech and ran a rod through the cage with the president. erstwhile he recalled his ancestors and the shameful action of Jack Kurski with his grandpa from Wehrmacht, he did not neglect to summon Lech Kaczyński. And nothing drives Jarosław crazy like a message from the enemy's mouth: "I knew him, I respected him, and unlike you, he was a good man." It's not very elegant, of course it's malicious, but for the 8 years we've wasted, I can only say it belonged to me.

This juggling of haughtiness and comparatively inexpensive alternate grasps is simply a reflection of a reality in which managing the image and support will necessarily be eclectic and ad hoc work. But what is the political content behind the large communicative of the request for mercy toward these hideous thieves, villains and haters, possibly o restoring the regulation of law of absolute purgatory?

It must be made clear that many accents have appeared in the presentation of the government from a progressive position of clearly optimistic, individual and programming. My number 1 is simply a tough announcement of 30% increases for all public sector teachers (including kindergarten and academics). This is simply a signal that the government sees even any of the sources of the collapse of education, or at least the first, or hunger pay.

The individual of Adam Bodnar as the legal cleaner of the Augiah unchangeable (this metaphor fell more than erstwhile during a two-hour speech) is possibly the best possible combination of competence, determination and credibility. Agnieszka Dziemianovich-Bąk, which, moreover, called for the return of the "work" to the name of the resort, gives hope to balance the clearly favorable current employers in the ruling coalition. Barbara Nowacka deserves far more than a pictorial comparison with Przemysław Czarnki, due to the fact that with good facilities she can yet start saving the foundations of the Enlightenment civilization in Poland. Katarzyna Kotula as constitutional minister for equality (yes, feminative He went through Tusk's throat) signaling that the government "feels he should" engage in the issue of women's rights and minorities for real – possibly in time he will believe it really.

Many ministers – like the Ministry of abroad Affairs or the Ministry of Culture – are far from the left, but their competences, charisma and experience cannot be denied. Others are promising in fresh roles for themselves, specified as Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz or Krzysztof Gawkowski. In many cases, the face of the ministries will be determined primarily by their backgrounds: officials, advisors, experts.

However, the announcements of general policies are full of tensions, due to the fact that that is the arrangement of interests and values behind the coalition. These governments will not be treatment of plague with cholera, but reconciling water with fire a small bit – thesis and language exposé show it very clearly.

We so have a tough pro-Ukrainian line in global politics and assertiveness in protecting the interests of respective sectors of our economy. These can be reconciled from poorness – if the government can actually get logistics, for example transit of cereals from Ukraine for export. But what about those forests that “are not a wood economy but a sacred national resource”? The phrase sounds great, especially connected with the context of the climate and the water crisis, but on the another hand, the interests of the woodworking manufacture are already felt. Will the ban on the export of wood to China, suggested by Tusk, or at all outside the EU, halt the robbery and the failure of priceless nature?

Further, the border is to be sealed, but this must be taken care of in a human way. How precisely is that? Pushbacks only in the summer? Moving to Belarus, but with food? Or are we letting women and children in, and "young bulls" out, into the swamp?

In general, “border security” and “migration risk” Tusk changed over a fewer cases. He clearly pointed out that it is to be a common policy of at least east flank countries (Baltov, Finland, Sweden...) that it is to be European (i.e. involving Frontex). This "Europeanisation" of border control with Belarus may be an thought for 2 birds with 1 stone: the transfer of work for inhuman practices from Poland to the EU and the real simplification of people's access to our side. Which would most likely appeal to voters (not only the right) and which bodes poorly in fact human migration policy across Europe.

And what will it be in practice to reconcile social policy "as generous as possible" with care for the balance of state finances? erstwhile it comes to the usage in the wellness department of those measures that are already available, should we say goodbye to the possible of raising the wellness contribution?

Do the fiscal council and the general announcements of the depoliticization of the various decision-making processes announce more stakeholder consultations, or do you think that returning to the fantasy of the governments of “independent professionals” who, as it happens, usually have views conducive to wealthy people and actors already sufficiently influential?

The seismic arithmetic and the spectral veto make it highly crucial that the work of resorts and the negotiation of various regulatory details be carried out. It is there that we will win or neglect to accomplish in reality what the legislative climate in the Sejm will not always allow. This is best seen in the example of the protection of women's reproductive rights – Tusk explicitly stated that the key changes in this issue are to be made "in health, at school, at the prosecutor's office", and so not by law, but by regulations, regulations and not always formalised practices imposed by individual ministries. The composition of ministries and expert circles – I have already written about this a fewer weeks ago – will make or take distant the hope of whether seemingly inexorable parliamentary arithmetic can bend to the values preached by the left and the expectations expressed by Poles and Poles.
