Both of them in the lists of the KO, both in the places of the “deprived”, both partyless, although in Gierty unpartyed is not a rule, but a current condition and most likely a nuisance to him. The Kielecka candidacy of Giertych, announced by Donald Tusk in consequence to the announcement of the Kaczyński candidacy in Kielce alternatively of Warsaw, criticised Franek Strerczewski, an unpartisan MP, associate of the Seym-based KO club moving again from the same list. He publically asked for Gierty's position on abortion, recalling his fresh (two years ago) opinions on the subject.
KO politicians tell the media about possible removal from the electoral lists – Sterczewski, not Giertych...
Sterczewski emphasizes the obvious: the electoral lists do not depend on him. Waldy Dzikowski – Deputy Head of PO in the region – adds that the decision belongs simply to Tusk. "In contrast to the Law and Justice, the Civic Coalition is simply a democratic formation, which is why we have different opinions, but we can work together for a higher purpose." This. as quoted by the Electoral Newspaper Frank's statement. To her 2 apparent remarks:
- At least in terms of centralization of the decision on KO candidates, it is no different from the PiS. The leader decides everything.
- If, contrary to the demands of Sterczewski – and the multitude of another people – Gierty does not explain the relation to abortion, Donald Tusk will become the leader who managed to break his own election promises even before the elections, which is an accomplishment outstanding. On the lists of KO or PO (unclearness afraid only this issue) was not to be found anyone who did not vote for abortion free by 12 weeks of pregnancy.
I'm not judging Gierty's candidacy. possibly this is an idea. The way and time of his announcement was a show of skill, though I look at the polls and see that skill doesn't change much here. Not my fairy tale, not my business, Frank Sterczewski I realize well and feel sorry for him in this, not the first embarrassing situation in the same way (the first known "grief" was the consequences of his attempts at action on the border with Belarus). With or without Gierty, in the eyes of all – who vote for KO or not – this coalition and its letters have this nature of "difficult compromises". Nobody always pretended otherwise.
Abortion itself – well, unfortunately, it will not substance in post-election politics, even if the election manages to deprive the Law and Justice. The shaky majority of opposition groups will not even supply the usual majority of liberalisation projects, and if you consider Duda and his veto and dominance of the PiS apparatus in the TK Attrap, abortion will stay banned precisely as it is surely – regardless of this dubious seismic majority.
In addition, in the light of the problems that most commentators already have present to consider the option of early elections in spring, no 1 will care about the liberalisation of the bill. Franek Sterczewski and Roman Gierty will besides have more crucial concerns for them. More crucial in this situation will seem even more crucial – and already seem to commentators – attempts to remove from the year of PiS e.g.TVP. The bad news is, it can't work in the coming years either. For precisely the same reasons. The usual majority of the parliament can at most effort to starve TVP.
