Łukasz Grzegorczyk: Mr President, 1 minute to remember from this run is...
Bronisław Komorowski, erstwhile president of the Republic of Poland: They will most likely stay in head the debates that were exhausting and frequently on a very low level. A large number of candidates involved.
Although the run is inactive going on, possibly before the second circular it will be more interesting and more substantive, based on discussions between the 2 candidates. The run was just like the candidates. But now you can see that the second circular will definitely take place.
Like the candidates, which is what?
I don't think most candidates should be in this group. The barrier of 100,000 signatures needed to collect to run failed.
New mechanisms have emerged, specified as the anticipation of buying votes for money or gathering them online. People without any political background could besides afford to get these 100,000 signatures.
Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish has already announced changes. And he said possibly the threshold should be half a million.
Then they'll just make more money with signature companies. In my opinion, this threshold needs to be changed erstwhile it comes to the quality of signatures, due to the fact that just raising it will not do much. In France, for example, various honorary citizens must besides be signed. They could be generals or Nobel laureates. That's not the kind of vote you buy on the market.
Apart from Rafał Trzaskowski, who has many years of experience in administering the capital of the state and working as a minister and Simon Hołownia, who immediately advanced to the talker of the Sejm, the remainder of the candidates have no more political experience. But for now, it's a run without the anticipation of reaching for any deeper political knowledge.
Have you watched all the debates?
I did not watch all the debates, but, for example, the 1 organized by Simon Holovnia. The Marshal of the Sejm invited Magdalena Biejat to the interview. It was a high-level discussion, as was political culture. I think this debate has helped both candidates.
Poles are alternatively tired of debates. At least in the expression of the last 1 that TVP organized.
TVP's debate was terribly boring, mostly based on common political hooks and charges. It was an unpleasant spectacle. The media can either reprimand it or approve it as normal. I would encourage you not to approve. There must be a change in the format of the debate before the second round. This 1 should be deeper, not based on common malice.
Who did the best in the last debate?
The most substantive was Joanna Senyszyn. It may have been little colorful, but it was based on the MEP's own experience. And she didn't suck up to voters that much. She spoke the way things stand.
This had happened before to Magdalena Biejat and from time to time to Simon Holownia. I like to praise those who stand out for cognition and experience, not cunning.
Simon Holovnia seems to be doing her best, but in a fresh poll, Magdalena Biejat overtakes him.
Magdalena Biejat's run raises respect, but she is not moving for presidential function, but to strengthen both her own position and her own position in the future.
and leftist formations.
Karol Nawrocki's housing scandal?
Not now. For now, you can see that the alleged hard electorate of PiS is willing to swallow anything or almost anything. In my opinion, the housing scandal will have a crucial impact on the voters' decisions before the second circular of elections. Then the candidates to date will want to propose that votes be passed on to 1 of the 2 who will remain.
Those who will encourage the vote for Karol Nawrocki will not be credible for their voters and this will undoubtedly be reflected in the way that the smaller part of the voters of Sławomir Mentzen or Grzegorz Braun will vote for the PiS candidate than would be possible without this affair.
So Nawrock didn't get out of it?
Nawrocki maintains that he's clean as a whistle and will not explain himself. I don't think that's adequate for Poles, even his own voters. But as I said, his constituents are able to "shrink" many.
Even the fact that he actually did something with Donald Trump in the United States too taking a picture?
I hope it hurts him, but it won't help. For me, it is simply a scandal for candidates to go to another country, to another president. It hasn't happened yet. This is simply a manifestation of Polish mongrism and sucking up.
I believe that Poles, with all their sympathy for the United States, are besides guided by dignity. This is below the dignity of Poland, so that the presidential candidate will go for a handshake, yet to a president like Trump.
Not just a handshake. Karol Nawrocki took the credit that after his visit the United States abolished restrictions on the export of chips.
There goes the Polish manager of IPN and he's done it. Charles Nawrocki tells what he wants. Donald Trump offered another leaders to negociate duties with him to kiss his ass. I believe that Mr. Nawrocki and the PiS are in line for this action.
But seriously, Karol Nawrocki visited the US, Rafał Trzaskowski for the time being resigned from a akin abroad accent in the campaign. Could it matter?
For many years, the younger Polonia and the better-being 1 will vote for a candidate for the Civic Coalition. In turn, this more conventional one, I would say "Chicago", will most likely vote for Mr. Nawrocki.
And in Poland, in the second round, the support of Magdalena Bielat and Szymon Holownia will be crucial?
Some will do it with more, others with little conviction. Sławomir Mentzen, who so harshly criticized the moral side of Karol Nawrocki in connection with the housing scandal, will find it hard to appeal for a vote on a man marked by immorality in politics.
Of course, there'll most likely be puzzles, agreements, but it's the voters who make the decisions. In general, around 60% of them decide to support a candidate another than the 1 they voted for in the first round. Today, it is hard to calculate how many voters Sławomir Mentzen or Marek Jakubiak will deliver. It will most likely be easier for Simon Holownia, due to the fact that here is simply a far-reaching ideological kinship.
And then there's the question of mobilizing voters. Are you expecting evidence attendance?
I don't think so, due to the fact that this election doesn't inspire that much emotion. The turnout will be adequate to consider elections as absolutely indicative of social preferences.
Do you like the full Krzysztof Stanowski election happening?
I don't like it due to the fact that he's a devastating democracy, even with all the different kinds of felers we complain about. If you're making fun of the presidential election, you're moving not to become president, but for any another reason, you're destroying the citizens' assurance in democracy.
In the last debate on TVP, he fundamentally stole the full show.
This is the problem that elections are increasingly reducing to show and brief presentation of their views, due to habits raised from social media. It comes down to common aggression, not a conversation.
about matters crucial to Poland.
When you ran, social media was important. Can we compare that?
I underestimated that. My counter-candidate appreciated and it seems that in Poland there was then a training ground for companies paid by Russians who practiced here, and then conducted operations to influence elections in the West.
We're complaining about the show and the shortcut discussion. possibly a expression with quite a few debates so that everyone has an hr to talk makes sense.
I remember being amazed by the debate in France between Emmanuel Macron
and Marine Le Pen. There was a anticipation not only of reposts, but besides of answers. A quiet discussion of the most crucial issues, without common aggressivity, with an effort to convince citizens that individual has a better thought or a better consequence to problems.
But they're completely different.
Exactly. And candidates from 2 different worlds were able to sit down for discussion. However, this is simply a question of political culture. It went the incorrect way here.
Now can you imagine Rafal Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki, who sit and talk about Poland for an hour? No malice.
It's hard, but I can imagine. Politicians in democracy must be alert to what people expect. I'm not certain at this phase the voters will inactive want shoals, aggression and malice.
I think the candidates might scope out, that it would be more profitable to stay calm.
And cold-blooded, trying to be substantive. The run so far has mostly built these negative emotions between candidates. I have 2 advices for Rafal Trzaskowski.
What?
He must remember that he has a peculiar situation. That is, he must effort to catch voters, both political orphans after left-wing candidates and Simon Holownia. It's a hard task due to the fact that you gotta work both ways.
In my opinion, it would be good if any of this political work were done by another friendly politicians for him. You know, he's always put himself at hazard to someone's wing.
And second advice?
The last debate saw that Rafał Trzaskowski was tired. There was no specified affirmative approach. Let him remember that sometimes at the last minute it is worth just resting, hanging out with his family, drinking beer or coffee with friends, and relaxing.
Mr. President, how do we let this go? At the last consecutive line, everyone boosts the pace of the campaign.
Sometimes it takes a fewer hours with your household to catch your breath. And will it service Mr. Nawrock to be so active? I think that in many places people will be disappointed, that for example they could not ask questions about surviving in Gdańsk. I'm not certain that Mr. Nawrocki's overactive activity will service him fully.
Rafał Trzaskowski has the ease of gaining human sympathy and should usage it.
Unlike Charles Nawrocki's artificial smile, which is like a toothpaste commercial in the United States, and in the 1960s. Nawrocks talking with that kind of grin are truly not convincing.
Here a affirmative example is Mrs Biejat, who smiles naturally. She didn't laughter erstwhile she talked about hard stuff, she was just talking about a good morning to item her ties with her constituents. Similarly, although a small mockingly Simon Holovnia can smile, it was more sarcastic for him.
Who's gonna grin tonight on May 18th? The score in the first circular will be on the razor blades?
I don't think anyone can foretell what's gonna happen. I think you gotta work, you gotta work to the end. Unless individual matches the imagination of Poland ruled by right-wing radicals and fundamentalists.
I don't like radicals and fundamentalists, both right-wing and left-wing. These lefties will fall out before the second round, but a typical of right-wing radicals will undoubtedly be a counter-candidate of Rafał Trzaskowski.
