Unofficial reports propose that Michał Rachon, a writer of tv Republic and a erstwhile TVP employee, is being considered as a PiS candidate for the presidential election. This thought amazed many due to the fact that Rachoń had not yet been listed among possible candidates.

The Salon24.pl portal, citing unofficial sources, reported that Rachon could number on support in the circles of tv Republic and among younger PiS MPs. An additional asset of the writer is his individual acquaintance with Donald Trump, which can bring PiS support in relations with the American political scene.

Features of the perfect candidate according to the PiS

Statements by the president of the Law and Justice Office himself, who is looking for a candidate "young, distinguished and internationally known", may propose that Michał Rachon meets these requirements. His wife is writer Katarzyna Gójska-Hejke, with whom he has 2 daughters, which additionally includes him in the household model preferred by part of PiS voters. His cognition of English and global contacts, including an interview with Donald Trump, add credibility to him internationally.

Although Rachon enjoys support among tv Republican sympathizers, the challenge is his low level of social trust. CBOS investigation shows that the writer has 1 of the lowest levels of trust among Poles dealing with politics, which may be an obstacle to a possible campaign.

Government and service of Tusk in the embrace of Putin’. Both projects, aired by TVP, increased its designation and strengthened it as an expressive publicist in conservative environments.

The writer paid 700 1000 PLN of bail for 2 officials from the Ministry of Justice who are suspected of irregularities erstwhile spending funds from the Justice Fund. This decision was taken as an act of support for politicians close to the Law and Justice, which any may have confirmed his loyalty to the party.

The thought of exposing a tv writer Republic as a presidential candidate seems to be an different step, but possibly the PiS puts on a figure that will attract the electorate more extremist and conducive to conservative ideology.
