Not Trzaskowski.

Does the slogan “Byle not Trzaskowski” make sense in fresh days? The opponents of this candidacy have many arguments. I see 2 – essential and very specific:

Rafał Trzaskowski / (amb) PAP/Tytus Żmijewski

What do you request to know?

• The first circular of presidential elections went to the candidate of the civilian Coalition Rafał Trzaskowski below expectations
• Civil Coalition, as well as the Civic Platform are known for failing to keep political promises
• Politicians in support of Rafał Trzaskowski have very bad relations with the administration of the president of the United States Donald Trump

You mustn't reward liars

The party, whose vice-president Trzaskowski is, committed something that is unforgivable. Before the final elections to the Sejm and the legislature either made consciously lying electoral promises in the form of celebrated “Stu specifics for the first 100 days”, or failed to keep most of these promises by inability, ignoring voters, deficiency of will to act. It was likely decided that these promises were impossible from the beginning, unrealistic. They're only designed to get votes. possibly the most crucial broken promise was the announcement of an increase in the tax-free amount to 60,000. This was a textbook example of populist deception and lies. They promised everyone a fewer 1000 zlotys a year extra in their wallets and did not deliver. They didn't even try. Although it has not been 100 but over 500 days.
I believe that it is not right to reward the organization which has cheated, let the voters down and, in addition, to reward the position of the head of state for the vice-president of this party. Politicians must not be rewarded for cheating voters. That's my opinion.

If on 1 June it turns out that the majority of Poles think differently – it will be a decision that will in the future supply “swindling” politicians with a peaceful sleep and will prompt them to make further empty promises.

The most crucial thing: security

Everything else will cease to number if Polish cities are hit by rockets and bombs. So the most crucial issue is the issue of Poland's security. The only warrant of this safety is belonging to NATO. Only NATO can defend us. And NATO is the United States – only the army of this country counts in NATO and only Russia matters with this army. These are facts, not opinions. Another fact is that for the next fewer years the president of the United States will inactive be Donald Trump.

And in this situation, we must remember what was caused by the immature, unauthorized Polish politicians from the party, whose vice-president is Rafał Trzaskowski. Donald Tusk and Radosław Sikorski Unresponsible behaviour long ago buried the chances of a good relation with the Republican White House, with Trump. And specified relationships – on a purely human, rather basic level – prove crucial in situations of crisis and dramatic events. Donald Tusk's organization is aware of this – we remember how the PO politicians criticized Andrzej Duda for “too slow” sending congratulations to Joe Bidenawhen this won the 2020 election. If Poland were attacked and Article 5 of NATO was launched, its implementation could be immediate and with full commitment, or it could be implemented without haste and in a limited dimension. This is what the president of the United States is yet deciding. It is known that treaties and global obligations are the most important, but they are always brought into force by circumstantial people of blood and bone.

Irresponsible gestures and words

Unfortunately, Donald Tusk publically preached thesis about Trump being a Russian agent, and in the “famous” image he aimed his hand at his back in the form of a revolver. What a childish motion and an unforgivable mistake! And he did it erstwhile Trump was in a “hole”. Why wouldn't Trump remember that? In turn Minister Sikorski (whose wife compared Trump to Hitler) called Trump a proto-fascist. “Prophetised” that Trump – after losing in the election – would get asylum in Russia.

What does it matter? Is the president of the United States so petty? Well, Trump is who he is, but it's no coincidence that erstwhile Trump straight reported a conversation with Putin European leaders a fewer days ago, he ostentably missed Donald Tusk.
President Duda had a large deal with Trump. Karol Nawrocki has the chance to build a akin relation with the president of the United States.

On the another hand, Rafał Trzaskowski is already burdened with his strict organization and ideological ties with politicians, whose antagonistic behaviour towards Trump is widely known and remembered. He represents a organization (PO) whose most crucial characters are compromised for Trump. After all, he is “man” Tusk.

Therefore, due to the safety of Poland, Trzaskowski should not become head of state. deficiency of good relations with Trump may become a origin besides crucial erstwhile they prove necessary.
