Katarzyna Tusk in an interview published in 2009 described Donald Tusk as a sparing father who gave his wage to his wife, cried with his daughter in films and despite his frequent absence he built a strong bond with his family. This is an old private image of today's prime minister, not a fresh political statement.
Donald Tusk privately: economy and a simple home
Donald Tusk's political image has been eerie for years. At home, however, his daughter’s old communicative shows that he was to function in a much simpler role. Katarzyna Tusk spoke in an interview with “Viva!” magazine, republished by Polki.pl, that her parents did not attach much importance to money. My father was to pass on his wage to his wife, who ran a household budget, and he sometimes carried only 10 zlotys in his wallet.
The account dates back to 2009. This should be made clear due to the fact that the net likes to give old statements as fresh discoveries. The description afraid the years of childhood and youth of Catherine Tusk, not the current rhythm of Prime Minister's life. Despite the passage of time, it remains an interesting evidence about the home of a man who has been at the heart of Polish politics for decades.
Childhood without luxury
Catherine Tusk mentioned that she spent her first years with her household in a tiny assistant hotel. 2 rooms, a sofa bed, books and a simple burner utilized alternatively of a full kitchen. Later, parents bought a 60-foot flat in an old building in Sopot. The Prime Minister's daughter stressed that she did not feel this life as mediocre or sad. She had what she needed.
In this story, the memory of things that have been utilized for years is peculiarly strong. The red-blue jacket, brought by Donald Tusk from work in Norway, carried 2 children in turns. This item tells more about the everyday life of the household than the stylized photographs. It shows the economy, which was something apparent in Polish homes only recently.
Full description of the Tuskov household home besides contains memories of going to the movies together. Father and daughter were to watch “The Lion King” together and both cried. erstwhile teenage Catherine wanted a rat, Donald Tusk accepted the thought despite his wife's resistance. This is not political material. This is simply a evidence of the daughter's relation with her father.
The price of surviving in the shadow of politics
Family policy pays for his public function in his own privacy. Catherine Tusk told us that politics had long remained behind the door of the house. During the 2005 presidential campaign, the father was to ask the children if they would want to aid him, and leave them the chance to refuse. He knew that his decisions would bring them designation and trouble.
This passage complements well public image of Donald Tusk as head of government. The office requires image control, but the household sees a man without a talker or camera. The assessment of his regulation should be based on decisions made towards Poland, not on sympathetic anecdotes. At the same time, political contention does not give the right to take private dignity from a wife, children or grandchildren of a public person.
Family as a base
Catherine Tusk said that she would like to build a household akin to that in which she grew up, although with her husband more frequently present at home than her father. This conviction includes both gratitude and the cost of a political career. Many years of public service meant absences that loved ones could not miss.
Family remains part of the knowing of good life for Poles, regardless of organization sympathy. The erstwhile interview of the Prime Minister's daughter resembles a simple thing: behind the most recognizable name is the house, the memory of childhood and the ties that cannot be replaced by political success. Let's argue hard about the state. Let's leave the families of politicians out of the line of fire.
