PR more crucial than government control
Prime Minister Donald Tusk has late declared that he does not plan to launch in the next year's presidential election, stressing that he feels well in his current position. He announced that the candidate of the Civic Coalition for president would be announced before Christmas, suggesting that it might be Rafał Trzaskowski. Marek Sawicki of PSL, however, expressed skepticism towards Tusk's declaration.
In his conversation with Super Express, he explained his position:
Politics is simply a planet where events run faster than politicians themselves do. quite a few things can happen by Christmas. Besides, only the messages are demented are true, and Donald Tusk's dementations have been made, like, twice.
According to Sawicki, the kind of the Prime Minister's conduct of politics indicates that he is the 1 planning to run in the presidential election. In his opinion, the Prime Minister focuses more on the image than on government management. Sawicki besides expresses scepticism towards the chances of Rafał Trzaskowski despite his good polls, arguing that the Civic Platform has adopted a left-wing program, which distances it from the centre-right electorate. According to him, real candidates of KO are Tusk or possibly Sikorski.
Is a joint candidate a bad idea?
Commenting on the anticipation that Rafał Trzaskowski could be a candidate for the full ruling coalition, Marek Sawicki compared the thought to the failed concept of a "Rail Coalition" for elections to the European Parliament.
He stressed that, apart from Alexander Kwasniewski, who did not advance his leftistness very much, no left-wing candidate had won the presidential election.
Sawicki besides pointed out that Polish society is more conservative than our country's politics, and supporting a left-wing candidate specified as Trzaskowski could be a political suicide for the coalition.
Sawicki on abortion
This is not the only message by Sawicki hitting Tusk and his government, to which, by his way, Sawicki belongs. any time ago, writer Maciej Klulka from TOK.fm asked the politician if the PSL was afraid that voting against the Citizen Coalition's draft on the relaxation of abortion rules would lead to the writing of earlier elections.
You treat human life as politics, I treat as constitutional law Said Sawicki. –I want to make it clear that we have certain provisions in the Constitution, and there is no majority to change it today, and life is protected. The Radom court ruled that embryo life is more crucial than father's will, so it is worth considering.
The politician referred to the situation erstwhile the Radom territory Court ruled in early August that the right of embryo to be born by a parent was more crucial than the opposition of the father. The case active ex-wifes who after the divorce disputed about frozen embryos from the in vitro procedure. Despite his father's opposition, the court supported a woman's decision to give birth to another child.
In the context of abortion, Klulka asked Sawicki if he was afraid that these differences of opinion would origin the coalition to break up. The PSL then replied:
That's not my problem, that's Donald Tusk's problem. He's the 1 who put the coalition together, and if these cases want to bet on the blade, and they weren't in the coalition deal, it's his responsibility, not mine. I made no promises to anyone, either before this or before the erstwhile election. I'm not thrown in the Sejm by anyone. I have a circumstantial electorate group in which I have functioned for more than 30 years and my support for elections is not diminished.
