The primaries announced in the Civic Coalition on Saturday will be concluded immediately – on 23 November, there will be a vote which of the politicians, Radosław Sikorski or Rafał Trzaskowski, will become a presidential candidate.
They're both busy, they're responsible, so it's crucial that it's clear who gets the full support of the full Coalition as shortly as possible. The primaries proposed Rafał TrzaskowskiBecause the rivalry between him and Radosław Sikorski began to be obvious, and it was inactive not official.
Your boyfriend
It was known for months that Rafał Trzaskowski would most likely become a candidate of KO. His name came up. in all polls, The voters had plenty of time to get utilized to the thought that the next president would be him. However, time passed, and Donald Tusk continued to hold his anointing.
Trzaskowski has been a candidate in general since 2020, erstwhile he replaced the candidate in the primary at the last minute, and later depressing in the polls of Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. Although he collected 10 million votes at the time, he yet lost to Andrzej Duda, but the obtained support was to be a capital to build a fresh social movement. This 1 was actually created, but not thanks to Trzaskowski, but from the bottom up, after the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal exacerbating abortion law.
On the initiative of Rafał Trzaskowski and Jacek Karnowski, the Local Government Movement Yes! was created in 2021 for Poland. present the president of Warsaw asks for support.
On 7 November in Lublin, Trzaskowski spoke like the future president: about security, threats, community, but besides about the self-government – writing out these large words on the specifics that local authorities are dealing with – hospitals, roads, shelters, education. As president of Warsaw, on the same day he opened the legislature of Culture, where he spoke about culture as an component of Resilination, Social and Moral Power of Citizens and Citizens.
Trzaskowski has already served as the president of Warsaw for a second term, so he is recognized. The fact that he was erstwhile a minister of digitization, a associate of the European Parliament, an academic lecturer, that he knows 5 languages and is an expert on abroad policy – barely anyone remembers. And it is not known whether it is worth reminding about today. Therefore, his image of a good and cooperative host is rather convincing.
What can be his strong card in a clash with Radosław Sikorski is his ownness. erstwhile Trzaskowski drives around Poland and visits another local governments, he is 1 of many – he can talk on behalf of those who have experienced a written effort to limit self-government, bribery, blackmail and humiliate themselves with the necessity of photographing with the politicians of the Law and Justice, who have come down from the far capital and have given a large-format banknote to patch the gap in the asphalt.
Rafał Trzaskowski as the president of Poland will so no longer be a Warsaw panicist, who is close to cosmopolitan Brussels cream, but a street boy who experienced common misery and common triumph with another boys. A guy who knows what the problems and fears of average people, his neighbors are. Trzaskowski most likely threw Sikorski's glove in Lublin with that thought, saying that 1 must be not only “in salons, but with people – just like I with you today”.
On a white horse
Radosław Sikorski's quotes are growing, but he is definitely not the boy from the field. He won't be his favourite like president Duda. He has colleagues from Oxford, sons in the American army, a manor home close Bydgoszcz. No traffic, no milk. If he tries to warm the image, it will look just like Rafał Trzaskowski told us that we should be Like Trump, like a tight fist.
Although he reminds more and more that he is from Bydgoszcz, not from Warsaw, it will be hard to prove that he is his own. At the very least, his warrior – what can he say to those whose grandparents were waiting for Anders, and who are looking for swords present and are enthusiastically discussing the properties of crabs and wolverines.
The context of war, even potential, is the 1 Sikorski fits. He can enter the long-known function of a savior on a white horse, who will defend his fantasy of homeland, where as we know well there are no shelters, and wellness care is incapable to meet the challenges even in peacetime.
What we can number on against the weakness of the state and its institutions is, unfortunately, only an efficient chief and diplomat who will find loyal allies, will open a base of rocket defence in Redzików, will prove firm and will not return a button. Sikorski showed at the UN February and Septemberthat he could give a sharp repost to a typical of Russia erstwhile he scored all the lies of Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia concerning the war in Ukraine and the historical manipulations he committed.
Immediately after being taken over by the Sikorski Democratic Coalition, he and Donald Tuski went on to rebuild diplomatic relations, and before the elections in the United States he proved to be a prudent politician, visiting both fellow democrats and Republicans. He continues to support Ukraine, but with the historical electorate trained in politics he resembles the Volyn case. Its precedence is clear – it guarantees Poland's safety. And whether this is due to sublime patriotism or political ambition – 1 can presume that the game will lead with determination.
Trump's win makes the next fewer years challenging. Therefore, the ambition of Radosław Sikorski could meet with approval, after all, safety is the subject of all speeches and parts of the activities of the coalition government. And erstwhile Tusk waited to anoint Trzaskowski, Sikorski set up his YouTube channel, he gave a "presidential" interview with his wife Anne Applebaum, and then an interview for Sławomir Sierakowski in Oneta, where he had already talked straight about his ambitions.
Primary
The primaries may uncover all imperfections in the images of both candidates, which will give time to deal with them. Radosław Sikorski has an thought for presidency, has extended diplomatic contacts, global recognition, support of Roman Giertych and respective another Strong Together, an outstanding wife. Its conservatism, the support of the PSL, and possibly even any of the voters who are inclined towards the Confederacy, can besides be a resource.
His weakness in the anti-Semitic state may be the same prominent wife, deficiency of support in organization structures and almost complete deficiency of possible for bottom-up, self-conscious sympathy. The consequence of his chief image may be the removal in public debate during the run of human rights issues, including women's rights, climate, efficient institutions. This means that broad civilian society groups would gotta vote for him as little evil.
Rafał Trzaskowski's candidacy will guarantee that we talk about safety not in large words, but in concrete terms. He is simply a natural candidate of civilian society, as president of Warsaw, he made certain that in the capital there was a infirmary that carries out pregnancy appointments, adapts the city to climate change, will most likely be active on issues Civil protection and Resilience.
The problem is the image of left-wing politics, removing the crosses of an atheist who can't even defend himself, due to the fact that if he starts talking about Spinoz, he'll halt being a boy from the yard. It will be hard to convince individual outside the progressive camp, especially as cynical as the PSL voters, who can as well support Trzaskowski and Czarnek.
