Our regular Toupal

It is hard to believe that this is the 13th anniversary of the tragic aviation accident close Smolensk. Not only is it tragic due to the fact that the president of Poland and his wife and a full lot of officials suffered as a consequence of the garbage. First of all, due to the fact that as a consequence of it, we are stuck as a nation in a kind of chocholy dance. Ridiculous, grotesque and highly harmful.

In fact, we are all victims of an accident close Smolensk. Without it, most likely Lech Kaczyński would simply lose the presidential election, and the PiS would inactive be an average party, possibly 1 of respective or more. Meanwhile, alternatively of average parties and a average dispute, in Poland present we have political sects ritually piling their heads and throwing feces. alternatively of reason and sober analysis of your own needs and possibilities, only warmed to white emotions.

No 1 is asking questions about the intent and effectiveness of our policy today. In no area. We are not talking about the meaning of our alliances and global engagement. Instead, the political adversaries bid on who will more declare their support for the war and more ferociously challenge the opponent by calling him “Russian agent”.

We are not discussing the economical and social model of the state. Instead, the main political forces bid on who will hand out more election sausage in the form of costly and anti-effective social. erstwhile the PiS announces plans to increase benefits 500+ The platform corresponds to the ‘grandmother’ project. erstwhile Morawiecki promises to pay for housing loans to young Donald Tusk beats him. The programme of Kaczyński's organization boils down to the task of assistance to developers, but KO besides plans to aid pensioners. Credits in their concept would be interest-bearing at not 2%, but 0%, and 600 PLN would besides be received by tenants. And so on, and so on... Thus Poles are bought with their money, their children and grandchildren.

Fortunately for all of us, this political dispute is becoming increasingly indifferent to us. Apart from the narrow organization news bubbles, it no longer creates real emotions. Well, but for the fewer and fleeting breaks erstwhile 1 organization decides to make a motion peculiarly wicked or disgusting.
Thus, the symbolic “Tupolev” that perpetuated the dichotomiy of the Polish political scene, but besides drove it, clearly loses fuel. In the face of the complete intellectual and organizational conviction of the Platform/Citizen Coalition, Jarosław Kaczyński lacked an antagonist. More and more curiosity and detached from the reality of anti-PiS rumbling could not in the long run replace authentic hatred and contempt a fewer years ago. And there's nothing about the PiS's power fructifiers from a decade ago. So erosion is progressing. Very good.

For we are not doomed to be stuck in the chocholy dance of false antagonisms.

What about the accident itself? Nothing. For what fresh is there in the substance in which all have spoken many times? Another sensational discovery by the Macerewicz Committee? Another “hypothesis” from the inexpensive SF? Of course, the full substance could be explained at erstwhile by our large allies from across the ocean. Finally, they have full cognition here. But they won't. Understatements let you to smuggle charges against Russia's delicate lines. What almost everyone cares about today.
