As he pointed out on the pages of the portal basiny.pl Lech Mażewski, Donald Tusk already decades ago wrote about the request to restrict civilian liberties for the defence of liberal order. The mention of the Prime Minister to the model of fighting democracy, in which he deals with the opposition considered to be a "threat for democracy" with a tough hand, should not surprise. In fact, it clearly shows the goals of the head of the ruling camp.
As stressed by the writer of the basin.pl, as early as 1984, under the pseudonym "Anna Barycz", the current Prime Minister was dreaming of a imagination of progressive statehood that limits citizens' freedom to keep its ideological course. "Progress... as a historical fact, not a progressive invention, requires greater social supervision of the economy and a painful but essential regulation of individual freedom," recalled Tusk Lech Mażewski.
The fact mentioned by the publicist gives more fuller colors to the appeal of the head of government in September this year to the model of "fighting democracy". After Tusk announced on social media the "revocation of the countersignature" under the appointment of Krzysztof Wesołowski as president of the civilian Chamber of the SN, a wave of criticism fell on the government. The decision had no legal basis and was an example of abuse of power.
Nevertheless, Donald Tusk, bearing the slogans of the regulation of law, appeared the day after the legislature scandal and presented his action as an example of courage and activity. The head of government besides assured parliamentarians that he was going to take steps to worry lawyers and constitutional experts respective times in his word of office. At the same time, he declared that this was the case in Poland... of a “fighting democracy”.
This political vision, created by German lawyer Karl Loewenstein, assumes an active fight by the state against illegitimate citizens, considered a threat to the democratic system.
From Tusk's editorial past, we can draw more leads, indicating the attachment of the head of government to the imagination of combating political competition. The “CDN” written by Karl Popper, a mentor of George Soros, was regularly published in Tusk and his co-workers. According to this well-known thinker, politics can be brought to a rivalry between the "open society" – a collection of tomized individuals, and a tribal government that is inherently hostile to him, based on a community of religion and origin.
In view of akin political inspirations of the Prime Minister, it is easy to note that it is not the efforts of the regulation of law to guarantee that the effective functioning of the state is the main nonsubjective of the head of government. "The essence of Tusk's actions is mainly the defence of the ideological and socio-economic regulation of liberalism, not anything else," says Lech Mażewski. "The triumph of the concept of a fighting democracy would consequence in a Brussels jarling entitled to regulation Poland permanently belonging to the Liberal-Left camp, with the omission of all another political forces which, at most, could play the function of patriotic or Catholic PAX", he added. And that is the perfect of Tusk. The perfect for which he is willing to limit our freedom. Democracy and liberalism – even on democratic and liberal principles – must not be bothered!
