Right-wing populism has its limits
Tusk cannot bid with Bąkiewicz, PiS, Braun or Confederacy for rudeness and radicalism. It's a dead end.
First,, specified a strategy only strengthens and strengthens the right. Her language, emotions and modes of action are taken care of – and this means going to her area, where she will always be stronger. As a result, we all lose due to the fact that public life falls into the abyss of hatred and aggression.
Second, the government, acting in this way, adopts the agenda imposed by the right. alternatively of shaping the public debate, it starts playing a statistical role. It is the right that determines what we are talking about, how deep and within what limits.
ThirdThis attitude shows the weakness of power. If the government is right-wing narration, it de facto admits that the policy to date was incorrect or inadequate. In this way, he becomes a hostage of radicals, not a leader of change.
Liberal democracy will not win against populism if it tries to imitate it. He will win only if he shows that there is another way – calm, rational and based on respect for citizens, not on their emotions and fear.
