On August 11, Donald Tusk announced the resignation of Maciej Berk as minister, Anna Koniezyńska lost her position in KARR after the flood aid case of PLN 4.5 million and András Baka was elected president of Hungary by 140 votes. This is simply a lesson for citizens: national staff are not technicians.
Change on premiere
Donald Tusk reported on 11 August that Maciej Berek ceases to service as Minister of Supervision for the implementation of government policy. As he stated TVN24, Berk's duties are to be taken over by Joanna Knapinska, president of the Government Legislative Center. The Prime Minister said that Berek would decision on to "other tasks". It is simply a typical political language of the background: small concrete, much control over the message.
Berek was 1 of the most crucial method people at the government center. Tusk himself referred to him as his “right hand”. For a citizen, this is not a individual curiosity. The Minister overseeing the implementation of government policy touches the very core of the state's efficiency: whether promises turn into legislation, decisions and real effects. erstwhile specified a individual leaves, you gotta ask not about the salon game of names, but about the continuity of state management.
Donald Tusk's government likes to introduce itself as a camp of expertise and procedures. The problem is that procedures without work become a veil. In matters which concern the portfolios of Poles, the safety and quality of the law, the individual movements in KPRM are of greater importance than the seismical fields. We besides wrote about the condition of the cabinet at the poll, according to which over half of Poles misjudge Donald Tusk's office.
KARR and money after the flood
On the same day, Anna Kołazyńska was recalled from the position of vice president of the Krkonoše Regional improvement Agency. By TVN24 coverage The spokesperson for the Lower Silesian Marshal's Office pointed to image issues, company management and information on irregularities in providing support after the flood. Koszyńska, in turn, spoke of a “hunt” and declared that there was nothing to blame.
The issue is serious due to the fact that it concerns money intended for people and companies affected by the flood. TVN24, citing the findings of Virtual Poland, stated that PLN 4.5 million of aid from KARR was to go to 3 entities from 1 area, although independent sources were to exclude their flooding. In this theme, you gotta stick to the facts and the presumption of innocence. It must besides be made clear that, with public funds, the anticipation of conflict of interest alone is simply a blow to assurance in the state.
Poles have the right to anticipate that aid after a natural disaster will first go to those who have truly suffered. If the strategy of grants, loans or support starts to look like a network of acquaintances, the account is issued not to an abstract ‘state’ but to taxpayers. It's their money. It was their solidarity that was triggered after the flood.
Budapest after the Orbán era
At the same time in Hungary Parliament elected András Baka as president. The Associated Press reported that the erstwhile Chief of the ultimate Court received 140 votes in favour and 6 against, and Fidesz Viktor Orbán boycotted the vote. Baka is to be sworn in on August 19. This decision is part of a wider redevelopment of the institution after Péter Magyar camp took power.
For the Polish right, the Hungarian example is uncomfortable, but needed for quiet analysis. The national state cannot be identified with the perpetuity of 1 crew. It must have institutions that are resistant to the electoral pendulum, and at the same time rooted in the national interest, family, tradition and sovereignty. The fresh course in Budapest will be a test: whether it will be a correction of the state or the submission of Hungary to a liberal model from Brussels.
DN has already written about András Baka was a candidate of TISHand earlier the decision by which Parliament shortened Tamás Sulyok's word of office. Now these processes are moving from the announcement phase to the office.
Rate: state or personnel mechanism
Three events from 1 day connect 1 question: whether the state is simply a community of work or a staff mechanics operated by organization headquarters. We have a shift at the premiere in Warsaw. In Lower Silesia, we have a consequence to flood measures. In Budapest, the strategy is being reconstructed after years of Orbán's rule.
For Poles there is simply a circumstantial stake. erstwhile the national staff operate efficiently and fairly, the citizen gets security, predictable law and protection of public money. erstwhile the logic of the backroom begins to dominate, the citizen sees nominations, resignations and communications, but does not see responsibility. And a country without work rapidly becomes an costly device to service its own.
