The confusion around the debate. "I would be amazed if he accepted the imposed conditions"

The expression itself is highly controversial and I do not blame the another candidates for protesting. Some, like a marshal Simon Holovnia – very energetic. Of course, during the presidential campaign, anyone can debate with any private media can make an unlimited field for them to do so. But public tv has a legal work to organise a debate open to all.

Talking in a tv studio of 12 people, including candidates rather exotic, is evidently awkward, anything absurd. But TVP is not, at least in theory, from creating a political scene. And gathering the first candidate with the second before the first circular has, or at least may have, an impact on the result.

Why right-wing TV?

As for the dispute, whether the Trzaskowski-Nawrocki debate should organise and conduct 3 televisions or five, the answer is apparent to me. Nawrocki could not act any another way than to request the participation of the Republic and Poland 24.

Firstly, the agreement to the first composition would be to let the debate to be hosted by 2 televisions openly supporting its competitor. Only Polsat is neutral. TVP and TVN – they are not. possibly Nawrocki's only encounter with his main opponent would take place on conditions clearly preferring that opponent. Is it worth advising Nawrock about his own harm? I don't think so.

There is simply a broader context. The opposition of TVP and, consequently, Trzazkowski's staff, before allowing 2 right-wing tv is simply a consequence of the imagination of the planet that the current government camp is trying to construct. It's a imagination in which the right does not exist, or it does be in the residual form. This is why in many places of Poland the teams of the Republic and in Poland 24 were not allowed for open meetings of the candidate of the Civic Coalition. Besides, this standard has already been set Donald Tusk. Breaking the law, as the first Polish Prime Minister, he ordered the exclusion of unfriendly journalists from his own press conferences.

It's an thought to admit to yourself, and in any case, to prosecute an information monopoly. Theirs can only talk to their own, and it's best that the other's not at all. And the full thing is expected to only work 1 way. TVN and TVP teams come to press conferences of right-wing politicians, are admitted there, answer their frequently aggressive questions. On the another hand, the "democracy fighting" of Donald Tusk provides for an effort to delegalize not only the media, but besides the electorate, reaching, together with the Confederation, 40 percent of Poles.

The apogee of this fresh trend was the verdict of the Provincial Administrative Court refusing the Republic and in Poland 24 concessions. These are televisions that are increasingly popular and meet the needs of a large group of Poles. The WSA justice has exceeded her powers by evaluating the concession applications in substance, although administrative courts are only from the verification of legality. But even if the National Broadcasting Council did not complete any procedures at the time of awarding these concessions, who would believe that the word of that ruling itself, just before the planned debate, was accidental? There is simply a conflict in Poland, in which judges are besides drawn on both sides. They besides practice politics, sometimes openly.

This is an EU trend.

I do not know if Karol Nawrocki will come to the sports hall in Koński or come to make a statement, but not to participate in the debate. It'll settle in a fewer hours. I'd be amazed if he'd accepted the conditions he was imposing. Of course, Trzaskowski already tells that his rival “cowards”, and the chief of staff of Nawrocki Paweł Bossernaker “fails.” Of course, a tough KO electorate will buy it. However, this is not true.

Is the procedure to annihilate a camp supported by 40 percent of Poles realistic? Could it succeed? In theory, no, but the next steps are being taken. PiS and the Confederacy have already been stripped of budget money, and there is simply a police-prosecution action to make it a bunch of criminals.

If you do not believe that you can effort to destruct a mass opposition party, look at French. The Court That Deprived Marine Le Pen The right to run for president, he dealt in explanation rather common in the politics of irregularities there. But he did not refrain from political criticism of her organization in the operative part of the sentence. This trend is present in Europe, not only in Poland, now justified by the atmosphere of war mobilisation.

This will increase in Poland. The spokesperson for the earlier, more conventional approach to the political-citizen relation was only Polsat. Although he entered into the organisation of the debate of Trzaskowski-Nawrocki, he had no objection to allowing right-wing media.

What's at the end of this trial? All you can do is guess. erstwhile I compose about a non-random deadline for a WSA ruling, I can besides point to another "case". virtually just now, a spokesperson for the Court of Justice European Union denied 1 of the chambers of the Polish ultimate Court status. It's about the home of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs. specified ombudsmen’s communications are usually announced by the TEU.

The question is whether the EU authorities have the right to specified interference in the interior judicial strategy of Poland. But it's been a long time since they asked. The delegation of this Chamber is crucial for the campaign, due to the fact that it should be she who considers appeals from electoral protests.

Only speculation is beginning up for now, as far as the current government coalition is prepared to respect the results of the elections. That will, of course, depend on who wins. We'll see how much the debate fight will help, and how much it will harm Trzaskowski. But it's possible that it's up to anyone another than the voters to decide.
