Yesterday, a large majority of opposition MPs abstained, allowing the Sejm to vote on another amendment to the Act on SN. Nationals of Poland issued a message on this occasion, but Kuba Karyś, president of the CODE, besides spoke openly critically.
It is worth asking what makes politicians let themselves to have all these compromising votes, or much worse than them applauding standing up for “border defenders”. The logic behind this is always the same, and in the case of the crime on the Belarusian border Donald Tusk made it clear, looking at the polls and saying that the political suicide is the 1 who does not keep his fingers crossed for Polish boys in uniform. He said that precisely on the eve of the first body found on the border...
Because they let themselves to do all this due to the fact that they can. due to the fact that they know we'll always halt criticizing. That we'd vote for them anyway. We've given each another their intellectually and morally lazy cleverness. The hazard of “political suicide” is sometimes real, what you request to know. There is no hazard from us – from their voters –. Political calculation is so simple for them.
They're being rational under these conditions. We don't. As long as we follow them like a flock of thoughtless sheep.
