Left and Poland 2050 in the crushing zone

krytykapolityczna.pl 8 months ago

On Saturday, October 5, the Left (as part of the National Council) and Poland 2050 (as part of a large convention) gathered – parties of the ruling coalition which have late had the largest – and akin – problems.

Both groups face force from the KO, which takes over green and equal slogans, have ministers whose names return in discussions about the reconstruction of the government (Paulina Hennig-Kloska and Dariusz Wieczorek), both have problematic coalitions.

The Left has a club together, which is and is not in opposition to the government, and Poland 2050 is inactive on the 3rd Road with PSL, who supports hunters, slows the separation from the Church and voted against decryminalization of abortion after months of joint commissions, erstwhile even Simon Holownia was persuaded.

And yet these coalitions are needed: Together in the 26-member parliamentary club has as many as 8 votes, without them the Left from a tiny coalition will become insignificant. Will he defend his ministry with the nearest reconstruction?

PSL is needed Poland 2050, due to the fact that it is to advance Simon Holovnia as a presidential candidate. This was expected to be the case from the beginning, and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish was given a prestigious ministry in return. Poland's leader 2050 will finish the word of rotational marshal for the year, and at the same time remains the black horse of his weakening group, which in the beginning was called Poland 2050 Szymon Holownia. What happens to the organization erstwhile the Hollow home doesn't have a strong position?

A tough coalition for President

Presidential elections are an chance for groups whose actions are getting out of hand and their support is not growing. They can focus on themselves, callback the stolen demands and their own politicians and politicians, boasting what they have succeeded. Even if the candidate collects the votes only in the first round, she will be able to symbolically pass them on in the second, becoming a contributor to the triumph and showing her position. But for the presidential election, you gotta make it. And for that to happen, you gotta mobilize your own.

Mobilization of the hard electorate was supported by the 2050 Polish Convention. Simon Holovnia entered the phase at the second fanfare, spoke in his own way, rather long – despite the audible signs of a cold. He asked his activists and voters to be patient and to realize the alliance with the PSL. He argued that "if individual wants to be right, they go to university or to a priest, not to politics, due to the fact that in politics they request not only right, but besides most" – which sparked applause of the hall.

"This is only the first lap," said the talker of the Sejm, "we have kept in a crumpled zone, between the 2 colosses of the PO and the Law and Justice, which have clashed for decades," he stressed. Indeed, Poland 2050, which was created as an alternate to the tired PO-PiS, since the PSL began playing for those 13 million conservative voters, frequently speaking with 1 voice with the PiS, truly found itself in the crushing zone.

For voters who have been promised a different policy, far-reaching compromises resulting from this hard position do not request to be clear. Therefore, the Holovnia, followed by the Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, recalled "common DNA" – green and European. "We're sorry, we're inactive the same, we're politicians, but it's inactive us: Kasia, Michał, Olga, the same ones you met at the bazaars, at the joint shares of the Polish 2050 Movement".

That's what she said too. Paulina Hennig-Kloskawhose colleagues have expressed a clear vote of confidence. She recalled "green achievements": a moratorium on the most valuable natural areas, social forests around which there are discussions between socialists and foresters, the construction of a atomic power plant, "in which no Sasin will prevent", and the establishment is about to take place. Lower Oder National Park.

Not erstwhile did the civilian Coalition appear as a political opponent. From the PSL, the incumbent politicians explained themselves densely, but presented themselves as essential strategical coalitionists. The black character was the Law and Justice, and the direct obstacle to the Left, which opposes the wellness contribution and which puts it on its own, although the negotiation process resulted in something else. Meanwhile, the Left is an ally of Poland 2050 on housing and loans that feed developers, but do not make apartments actually available.

Subordination candidate

The mirror procedure took place in the Left on the weekend. While the 2050 Polish Convention was expected to convince its activists and voters that it is worth to tighten your teeth and endure with the PSL a small longer, due to the fact that the prize will be the presidential candidate, left did not talk to its voters, but straight to the coalitions, offering them a chance to hold the presidency for subordination.

Half of the press conference after the National Council seemed to be addressed to the organization Together, which could conclude that if she supported the budget – i.e. it turns out that she is not opposed to the government – she would be able to issue her candidate for president. The biggest budgetary problem for negotiations in the Left, as in Poland 2050, is the issue of wellness contributions.

Chairman of the Left Club, Anna Maria Żukowskato make it more clear, she wrote that the proposed candidate was Minister of Labour and Social Policy Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk. However, the left is ready if the candidate appears more, execute the primary.

The left, which is besides included in the "crush zone", consolidates itself: it mobilises Together, which is threatened with interior division, abolishes factions in fresh Left (there will be no more factions of Spring and SLD), and co-chairs stay in their positions until November 2025. In May, during the congress, the statute will be changed on the basis of which fresh leadership, one-man leadership at the level of powiats and voivodships, and possibly besides at organization level, will be selected.

Will this aid to strengthen and approach the presidential election, strengthen its position in the coalition on October 15, avoid the "breakdown"?

What Left and Poland have 2050, and what KO does not have are programs, ideas of public policies. The deficiency of the programme causes increasing impatience for the groups that have supported KOs with their voices and led to a change of power: academics, environmentalists, human rights defenders, supporters of strong state institutions, civilian society.

These groups remained silent for a long time, giving the fresh government time, knowing the hard situation, but the “honey month” of the coalition on October 15 seemingly ended. The thought of a country written on a napkin is little and little appealing. If the Left and Poland 2050 manage to represent themselves as those coalition forces who have a program but request more votes, possibly poll poles will yet decision in their favor, and Donald Tusk will gotta start dealing with them.
