– abruptly we collided with the iceberg and we don't know what to do with it – says an openly KO politician. He has strong associations with Titanic.
The captain's locked himself on the Captain's Bridge. He won't let anyone in, and he's trying to drift this boat. All elder officers, ministers and coalitions, wonder which way to go and whether to follow orders. And we, average MPs, sailors, are the most hit due to the fact that passengers have contact with us and pour out their frustrations on us – they share their reflections.
This is how he responds to the question of temper in the ruling coalition a fewer days before the announced reconstruction of the government.
– And we're left to ourselves. Nobody truly knows how to do things. We do not know what to do – the politician continues.
– Whether to open the 3rd grade door or close it. Whether to let people on boats or not. We have no information from the officers, and the officers from the captain. Turns out we don't have adequate boats. And that it's chaos due to the fact that no 1 has always done a test evacuation before. There's an orchestra. It's the politicians who make her act like, "Look, I want you to have a good face for a bad game and play to the end on board." This is simply a bit of a situation now, says Mr KO.
Still, he thinks there's a difference.
– It's like on the Titanic, no 1 was prepared for that collision. But now you gotta do everything you can to keep this ship from sinking. And I hope our sinking ship doesn't sink. That we'd stay on the surface and the captain would come off the bridge, give a fewer strong orders and save the day. We cannot neglect more than 10 million Poles who voted for Rafał Trzaskowski. I believe that with their aid this ship will hold and we will scope the port. Beaten, but we'll get there," he emphasizes.
Government reconstruction? "It seems to be cosmetology."
Government reconstruction is due to take place on Wednesday 23 July. According to government spokesperson Adam Szpiecka, Prime Minister Donald Tusk will announce the composition of the fresh Council of Ministers at 10:00. According to unofficial reports, Minister of abroad Affairs Radosław Sikorski is to take the position of Deputy Prime Minister.
Previously there were many media reports about the date of the reconstruction announcement itself. The government's changed for weeks. Everyone is waiting for concrete decisions.
Further part of the article below:
– Pregnancy is heavy transmitted. From a large cloud a small rain. Looks like it'll be cosmetology. I think the opposition of the coalitions to halt their ministries is rather large, and this translates into a alternatively cosmetic change. There is simply a regret to Simon Holownia that he inactive dragged it, due to the fact that it took besides long – we hear from 1 of the MPs.
We besides hear that for now we will know only the changes concerning ministers, and the Deputy Ministers will gotta wait.
– The moods are the same. According to our interior reports, those heads won't fall, which should and the average looks. due to the fact that if we do not shake off, if any moves are not made – e.g. that the Ministry of Agriculture will get a fresh face, and Barbara Nowacka and Sławomir Nitras should remainder – nothing will change. I feel that if individual does not just shake this shit, nothing will happen – the opinion in KO falls.
Another politician, however, says: – Let us give the Prime Minister any time. The media is full of speculation. We, average Members, besides learn everything from the media. We don't know anything. We're cut off from information. But knowing Prime Minister Tusk, I know 1 thing. He never makes decisions under public influence. Especially as shot as he is now, which he should do.
As we hear in KO, the club and organization authorities have asked politicians to be restrained in expressing their opinion. But how does the Prime Minister take it all? – I do not know, we average Members, have no contact with the Prime Minister. After the presidential election, we only had 1 club. The Prime Minister encouraged active action, not to let go, said everything was ahead of us. That's it. Now we wait, what next – says 1 parliamentarians.
"The PiS shows energy and willingness to act. There's a stagnation here"
– Is there frustration among the politicians of the power camp? – we ask in KO. They say no.
I'm tired. We talked a lot about it, we pumped in a balloon, this balloon just squeaks a small bit, and it's gonna come out of the air. I'm tired. erstwhile I go to the media and talk about reconstruction, it makes me sick. So this better be a fresh opening. due to the fact that if not, then we are not here – he says about reconstruction of the government of the MP.
He's brutally scoring what we all see. - The PiS is on the ascender. It totally went off. They show energy and willingness to act. If they were in the mediate of their first year, they're coming with us. They impose a narrative, and we don't have one. We have a unusual stagnation. Not giving up yet, but taking the first step towards it. quite a few people who came to the Sejm for something, he thinks so – he estimates.
He besides feels that the appointment of a spokesperson has not worked due to the fact that he is almost invisible.
It is besides heard about disappointment that in the coalition everyone focused on their factions and divisions.
– To me, it's disappointing that everyone's busy with themselves. I besides regret the ministers' public laundering of their filth alternatively of communicating it internally and showing strength outside. Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, Mucha... At first, Kosiniak-Kamysz and Nowacka were besides grabbing heads. That was unnecessary. Here everyone tries to mark their own separateness. And then with this distinctness we make ourselves look like a conflicted company that got to the stools – says 1 of the politicians.
"We can't get over the election yet." "Even I don't realize it."
Another politician talks about the anxiety and sadness he feels today.
– We can't get over the election yet. Something has to change due to the fact that we're in the political defense. As KOs, we must face the opposition, which is on the wave at the moment, clearly. And we gotta deal with problems in the coalition itself, that is, with the behaviour of our smaller coalitions – he responds.
He adds: – Everyone only says, "Citizen Coalition". But delight note that it was not KO that caused these frictions. It wasn't our members who met up with writers at night. It's not our vice marshal, it's the PSL indicated he went to this meeting. Very decent, reticently, the Left acts. But Poland 2050 lacks responsibility.
He says that erstwhile he talks to voters, he inactive hears voices about the current PiS communicative around immigrants: "Do something about it," "It's impossible to do that," "Why do you let Braun do that?" He sees that people don't realize why certain things happen and it's frustrating.
For example, why Matecki, Braun, or Bąkiewicz are unpunished. Why aren't the servants doing anything about self-proclaimed militias on the border? Itp. etc.
– As a citizen, I don't even understand. I would anticipate certain actions to be punished with all severity and speed. After all, we have services that should prevent this. You gotta have assurance in the authorities of the state. There shouldn't be any citizen patrols due to the fact that there's police. And the authorities of a state which are entitled to defender borders are border guards, not those who usurp the right to defend them," says Mr KO.
But as a politician, he understands that all procedures are to be transparent and legitimate. "It is besides known that even if we can put any in prison, they will be pardoned by the President. And people don't understand. They besides let themselves know there were immigrants. The Brunatna wave floods Poland and you can get the impression that we are giving up the fight with a fight – says MP KO.
Further part of the article below:
Why, then, do they let PiS to impose specified a narrative?
– I don't know. Don't ask me that. There are press conferences. In the form of graphics, information about what was done is provided. For example, Poland will receive € 123 billion from the EU. According to the Law and Justice, this is not a success. If simple numbers don't hit people, I don't know what we could do. The frustrating thing is, any people think nothing will happen if the PiS takes over again. So we'll go back to what we've been fighting for 8 years – he answers.
But it's not. There are besides militant moods in KO.
"I'm certain the Prime Minister can handle it perfectly and the leaders can communicate"
– I absolutely don't feel bad mood. We do our occupation – Elżbieta Polak, MP of PO, erstwhile Marshal of Lubuskie Voivodeship responds. He drives around tiny towns, talks to people, listens to the problems they come with. And he says he's in a combat mood.
– I'm not stopping. I am already moving a parliamentary run for the Coalition on October 15. I'm very motivated by failure. I think there's quite a few politicians who do and don't complain. On the another hand, I think that the reconstruction of the government, the large politics and the exchange of blows between coalitions does not interest people – he admits.
As he recalls, the intent of the reconstruction is one. – First of all, limiting the number of ministries to make the government more causative and operational. The point is that the specifics and priorities of the Coalition on October 15, which we announced, will be implemented as shortly as possible," he says.
It points out that a long list has already been achieved, but there are social expectations about circumstantial milestones and this must be done as shortly as possible.
– I'm certain the Prime Minister can handle this perfectly. I do not uncertainty its effectiveness and organizational and operational talent. I am besides convinced that Coalition leaders can communicate on October 15 – he believes.
