Magdalena Biejat she was presented yesterday as a candidate for fresh Left to be president, which is not amazing to those following current policies. I'm not hiding that I've known about this candidacy for a while.
I've known Magda a long time. She is simply a postgraduate of the Academy of Social Democracy, which Political Criticism has conducted together with respective another organizations for years. At the same time, the candidate is not my close friend. We know each another alternatively by sight, proceeding and meeting.
I'm not going to pretend that Magdalena Biejat It's not a brother, it's not a matchmaker, it's not a sister, it's not a sutra or a mantra. To me, she's a sister in a fight for women's rights, and in a political job, she's a hot and smart woman. I know her work in NGOs and her commitment. I saw that she was not afraid of challenges and that she was open to working with different environments.
New Left Unification
On Sunday, the presentation of fresh Left candidate for president began speeches by politicians from Donald Tusk's government: Krzysztof Gawkowski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digitization, Krzysztof Kukucki, president Włocławek, and earlier for a minute the Secretary of State in the Ministry of improvement and Technology, as well as the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy Agnieszka Dziemianovich-Bąk.
Biejat began this parliamentary word as a senator associated with the Left Together, who did not enter the government, not wanting to legitimize the policy pursued by the coalition on October 15. Acting Vice Marshal of the legislature politician, until late besides co-chairing Together, in October decided to leave the partywhat has become an crucial minute for left-wing environments.
The fact that present Biejat stands on 1 phase with politicians and politician from the fresh Left and signs the achievements of this organization in the Tusk government is an crucial sign. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the unification of the left that can easy escape us.
Why Biejat?
I remember erstwhile Magdalena Biejat was a senator. I was asked at the time in the Kuluaras why she was demoted and not to run for the Sejm, due to the fact that the legislature is being retired politically, not for real actions. I didn't believe it. I thought it was a political maneuver that would let Biejat to be in parliament and give her a cool and interesting task. Here it is.
The fresh Left presented her candidate at the latest from all parties. In the media it was bet whether the organization would bet on Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, Katarzyna Kotula or Biejat – due to the fact that it was known that it would most likely be a woman.
Facts on TVN they say Gawkowski did not want to run, due to the fact that "eventual weak consequence could harm him in the fight for leadership in the organization next year", and Dziemianowicz-Bąk – that besides Facts “She chose to work in government.” I don't believe in the first explanation, but I know Gawkowski is curious in leadership. I believe in the second, due to the fact that I know that ADB wants to focus on working in the ministry, as does the Kotula equality minister.
That's why they're not gonna lift the gloves. Let me scope into the boxing language due to the fact that we have in presidential boxer race and (I will admit, though not fitting) I am a fan Rocky.
A series of movies about Rocky is simply a communicative about a boxer out of nowhere who wasn't given any chances. Fart has fought the master. He lost this fight, but raised his gloves again, put on sweatpants and coached, ran up the steps of a museum in Philadelphia and yet became a moral winner. What's the matter, but in Poland we value moral triumph more than real one, but erstwhile Rocky achieved the first 1 he besides won the second one. He was a debt-taking guy with any shady guy, but he turned out to be a guy with a heart of gold.
I do not know if Magdalena Biejat will turn out to be Rocky presidential election, but she has the chance to become 1 in Polish politics as a individual who works hard and is not afraid to stand in the ring, even despite the mediocre chances of winning. due to the fact that let's not fool ourselves, fresh Left in this presidential election is not the favorite. But besides the bar is suspended highly low – Robert Biedron in fresh elections He got 2.22%Voices, Magdalena Orkurek in 2015 – 2.38%.
Biejat like Rocky fresh Left
Anyone who knows the Rocky series knows it's a movie communicative made up, romantic, but moving. Will Magdalene Biejat prove to be a hero of the fresh Left – a organization to which she does not even belong and to which her erstwhile organization attached erstwhile she needed it, and distanced herself erstwhile taking work proved besides costly?
Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk spoke during the presentation of the candidate “good luck, dear”, who caught the microphones. The beginning event, Luke Michnik, spokesperson for the fresh Left, mentioned that “strong men are reaching out to the weak.” Now is the time to see if a stronger organization truly stands behind a candidate outside of their ranks. Will the run show that the strong (in the fresh Left there are those who do well in large cities) will stand behind the weaker (meaning those who have harder than I, Magda Biejat and a mass of people from outside Warsaw)?
Magda Biejat said during the presentation of the candidate: “I know that I have a squad of people who are profoundly ideological and at the same time pragmatic.” Pragmatism in the organization Together Biejat would not find, but it cannot be denied by the Black and Poorrony organization (I say what it is, and at the same time I grin sarcastically). Biejat, along with the “break-up” environment, can bring idealism to this team.
The candidate besides mentioned the request for support from social organizations, movements for the weaker ones, as I realize it – in the hope of creating the impression that now the voice of those little heard and visible will yet gain meaning. The bid on Biejat is not only to choose the face of the campaign, it is to give hope without which 1 cannot act and number on change.
The girl next door.
Biejat at yesterday's event was presented as "a girl from the neighbourhood". I don't know what that means, due to the fact that it hasn't been further developed, but that's the idea, considering for social media posts of friends, may be considered 1 of the main spins of the campaign. Convincing people that a girl from Warsaw is your girl from the vicinity is simply a occupation for the next fewer months.
For me, Biejat is definitely a girl from the vicinity due to the fact that we live in the same large city, we know akin people and we're curious in akin things. Now Magda must convince everyone outside the capital and the community curious in social justice.
I look forward to this run due to the fact that specified an interesting candidate has long (or possibly never) had. If Biejat stands on his eyelashes, it will pursuit (yes, I will say it out loud) Barack Obama in an effort to build stories of hope and dreams that today, as a society and a state, we can fulfill, and incorporate into it all the building movements and organizations working for man.
Although Magdalena Biejat's race for the presidential seat will end, for the full left in Poland it is simply a sign that the time of uniting and building the community has come again, not accounting for her representatives from the 1 who leftist faction is the most leftist sigma in the planet of the uberleft left to power.
