Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, the Euro MP of the Left, recalled herself to the public again, appearing in the program "Onet Morning". With the right uncertainty and conviction about the moral superiority of her formation, she warned against the Civic Platform's treatment of the Confederate's favors.
As with politics with parliamentary facilities, she did so without indicating circumstantial facts, but with large emphasis on what you “see” and “know”. It sounded like something between political intuition and the reading of fuzes.
"Anything is possible. The fact that the Citizens' Platform is someway signed to the Confederation is simply a fact. We know it, we see it. On the Left it is impossible to do any deal with the Confederacy.”
The fact that the Platform is looking for options for the future is not a sensation. You don't should be a seismic arithmetic specialist to realize that without possible coalitions, no of the large parties will make a unchangeable majority. And since the Confederate stands well in the polls, it is not amazing that mainstream parties – from the left and the right – begin to consider it as a tongue in the weight. And although it's flirting for some, it's just political calculation for others. After all, in politics it's uncommon to have the luxury of choosing partners from the want list.
Schuering-Wielgus, like her, immediately set the substance on the moral axis. The Left won't go with the Confederacy, due to the fact that it's not over. In the name of rules, values and a red line that moves over time, but not necessarily at the time of submitting specified declarations. It is simply a comfortable position, allowing you to present yourself as an implacable defender of the idea, without taking work for real governance. From a distance, it is easier to identify the guilty and those who “distort ideals”. However, this was not the end of the reflection of the Euro MP. With characteristic self-confidence, she went into a wide analysis of social sentiments, along the way giving listeners a large condition of instant sociology:
"It is not that Poland is conservative and right-wing. This is another repeat Facebook. I believe that Poles and Poles are more aware and liberalised than politicians who are later elected to the Sejm and the Senate."
In a word – society, according to the Member, is progressive, but someway inactive does not vote as it should. possibly he's wrong, possibly he's tired, possibly he doesn't have a good offer – but he surely does. no It's right-wing. How could it be? Finally, Scheering-Wielgus and its environment know better what Poles truly are. It is hard to say whether this is an expression of deep religion in the dormant possible of the electorate, or whether it is simply communicative tactics: since we do not have a majority, it means that something is incorrect with voters, not with us.
It is besides interesting erstwhile the Euro MP goes to describe the relation within the Left itself. As he claims, the relation with the Together organization is correct, although there is simply a slight feeling for erstwhile allies:
"We and the organization get along together. I have no problem working with you. As fresh Left, we have chosen a way to face co-deeds and effort to push things, even if it is difficult. Together, it chose the way of commenting and looking from the side.”
This is simply a typical play: we are liable and mature, and they are those from clean hands and pure consciences, but without any effect. This is not a fresh dynamics – in all coalition there will be individual from dirty work and individual from clean passwords. Scheering-Wielgus evidently wants to be on the side of those who "act", although from a political point of view the effects of this action may be alternatively hard to identify.
However, it is worth noting that the Euro MP does not regulation out the re-ordinance of the elections:
"The joint list of the fresh Left and organization Together in the 2027 parliamentary elections is inactive possible. For 2 years in Polish politics everything can turn upside down.”
Thus Scheering-Wielgus does not close any doors – at least those that may inactive be useful. Interestingly, akin flexibility is claimed by others, especially the Platform, which is to flirt with the Confederation. But in the reality of Polish politics, nothing is eternal – neither declarations of cooperation nor their denials. any may enter into these conversations with greater grace than others, but the very fact of conducting talks should not shock anyone. Although the Confederacy does not fit the concept of a modern state, it is not a constitutionally prohibited formation.
So if in the future there is simply a mathematical necessity to establish an unobvious coalition, then Scheering-Wielgus will not be giving a speech to talks. possibly there will be a “difficult choice” for the Left, which – like all hard choices – can be wrapped in the right message. As we know, it is first said that “never” and then that “under these conditions we had to”.
Meanwhile, Scheuring-Wielgus' statements can be regarded as an effort to build a clear identity against the background of the blurred opposition scene. And that's understandable. In a planet where political boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred, everyone tries to draw their own territory. The problem is that sometimes this territory is more like a separate part of moral garden than a real field of political influence.
Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus presents the Left as a bastion of principles, opposition to temptations and the only right path. But is that adequate to convince those 9 million who didn't go to the election? Here, it is not adequate to point out to others "smites" – something more than a political distance will should be built. We will gotta show a real reason why it is worth voting not only against someone, but besides for Something specific. And that could be more hard than the next Platform and Confederation tirade.
