The last weekend ended. primaries in the civilian Coalition. 22 126 people took part in the SMS vote. Rafał Trzaskowski received 74.75 percent, and Radosław Sikorski received 25.25 percent of the vote, which is why the candidate for the president of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski will be, as expected, the president of Warsaw. Let's think about what's left of these primaries too the candidate and who's profited from them.

Sikorski imposed a narrative

Although the primaries were won by Rafał Trzaskowski, Radosław Sikorski was narrated. It was he who managed to impose the main subject of these primaries and the upcoming campaign.

We have frequently heard that safety is the most crucial challenge facing Poland and that it will dominate the presidential elections, but in fresh weeks Radosław Sikorski has talked about it in almost all meeting. He was convinced that he was the better candidate for times of anxiety. Rafał Trzaskowski had to bounce the ball and prove that he would besides be successful in moments of crisis, that he was “hard” as he said erstwhile the results were announced.

Tusk didn't gotta take Sikorski down.

The primaries besides allowed Donald Tusk. not just take work for the appointment of a presidential candidate. Trzaskowski was an almost brick favourite. In the 2020 election, despite a short run after replacing Margaret of Kidawa-Błońska and mistakes made during its duration, the president of Warsaw made a good result.

In many polls and studies, Trzaskowski was besides indicated by respondents. Przemek Sadura and Sławek Sierakowski in the study Hidden Power Crisis They wrote explicitly that the candidate anointed on Saturday is “on the road to the presidency”. However, Radosław Sikorski reported ambition to run for election. If Tusk had to make the decision, he would besides gotta tell Sikorski – sorry, but you will not run.

Thanks to the primaries, Tusk did not gotta thank Sikorski and could knock out his candidacy with the votes of members and members of the KO. He then thanked both of you and expressed “the highest words of appreciation for them”.

Coalition was consolidated

The Civic Platform, which thanks to the invitation of coalitions from the Civic Coalition, i.e. Modern, Greens and Initiatives of Poland, has besides gained its own advantages. Tusk at the time of the announcement of the results said that everyone was jealous of those who had the right to vote in these primaries.

Smaller KO coalitions are easy to forget, due to the fact that these parties do not function in collective consciousness. They may have been waiting for the destiny of appetizers, which, after being invited to the coalition, completely vanish and vanish from the political stage. The smaller coalitions did not disappear, they had access to the vote and could choose between the 2 policies of the Civic Platform. This consolidates the KO, but besides clearly shows who's in charge in this coalition.

What did we win?

Another argument behind the success of the primaries is that they attracted media attention. We could watch respective performances by Trzaskowski and Sikorski from pre-campan meetings. For democracy – although it sounds banal – specified meetings are crucial and the debate needed.

Rafał Trzaskowski had to mobilize. The president of Warsaw is frequently seen as a politician who doesn't like to overexert himself, and now he has to clinch and get to work. Knowing the polls and research, he could have believed besides rapidly that the case was being swept distant and no 1 would stand on the “autostrade”. Only that there is specified a problem with motorway metaphors in Poland, that erstwhile observing stupid behaviour on our roads, no 1 should feel besides safe on the highway.

The PO most likely remembers Bronisław Komorowski's campaign, which this candidate had put down. Liberal media, commentators and I think Komorowski himself were convinced that winning is in the pocket, so there is no request to overdo it in the campaign.

Komorowski's curse hangs on Trzaskowski today, due to the fact that the belief of his own awesomeness is simply a recipe for political disaster. So possibly these primaries mobilized the president of Warsaw not only before the SMS vote, but they will besides mobilize him for hard work erstwhile the presidential run is serious.
