I usually compose about global relations and the location of Poland in them, but the asylum that Hungary gave to the erstwhile Deputy Minister of the Government of Law and Justice told us a lot about not only this area, but besides about our interior political relations.
When granting asylum, Viktor Orban, erstwhile Secretary of State of the Polish Minister of Justice, baked respective roasts with 1 stone. He placed representatives of both wings of the POPIS. For the current ruling coalition and Donald Tuska is not only a prestigious nosing, it is simply a real obstacle to possible repression against another representatives of the hostile political camp.
I am writing about repression, due to the fact that no substance the highly stinking case of Marcin Romanowski, the current actions of prosecutors, not betraying besides many symptoms of independency from political disposition, give emergence to so many procedural doubts that in Budapest they did not gotta exert themselves besides much to find a pretext to launch the asylum procedure. There is already a alternatively vague message from Budapest that more politicians, to whom “justice” in Bodnarovsk will be applied, can number on a safe angle over the Danube. Given how low the level of political or professional secrecy is in Poland, how clumsy it is, and in the case of any of the officers, the judicial dimension in Poland is being kept, given that Poland is fundamentally a country without borders from the Schengen area, Hungary's attitude can origin a shark, or possibly a fence, to escape from the Bodnar's network.
Since the substance concerns the decomposing justice strategy in Poland, whose decomposition makes the substance completely cloudy for abroad observers, the Prime Minister of Hungary can now hand over Tusk with the same weapon as the Polish Prime Minister tried to attack Hungary – questioning the regulation of law, which in the European Union has any useful propaganda potential. Note that Tusk has not yet had the chance to grant asylum to any of the Hungarian opposition politicians together with the Eurocrats accusing Fidesz about the construction of a government in Hungary, said to be even more authoritative and illegal than the “PiS regime”. Even if this propaganda possible of Orban's play does not affect the EU institutions and the Eurocrats who have already taken the Tusk side, it affects the increasing trend of the Eurocracy and Eurocrats in Europe, including Central Europe. It can besides affect Donald Trump.
Viktor Orban has played poker – he has put everything on Trump's triumph and is now taking the pool of trust and good relations with the US elect president, whose second word promises extremist movements, including in the United States' relations with the EU.
Revocation of the ambassador is the only thing that the Polish government could answer to Orban and it looks alternatively like a motion of offended frustration alternatively than a real problem for the Hungarian ruling camp. Polish-Hungarian relations were inactive cooled down by the government of PiS, practically died after the Liberal camp took over power in Warsaw. Tusk's threats that he will now start consistent action against Hungarians in the EU arena are anything capish. His coalition has been active in a disciplined way for years in the hunt for Hungary by Eurocrats and the European People's Party. Neither the Citizens' Coalition nor the state governed by it so or otherwise has any fat sticks in their hands that Fidesz politicians have not yet seen and could fear.
However, the Orban movement has besides clearly designated a place in a series of Law and Justice camps. "Change would be a very good thing, but provided Viktor Orban changes. This is simply a condition that we request to make clear, due to the fact that we cannot cooperate so far if it continues to be so" - so to the declaration of the Prime Minister of Hungary about strengthening cooperation with Poland was answered in 2022 by Jarosław Kaczyński, who called the abroad policy of Hungary "a completely blind alley". "I am annoyed by his constant softness towards Putin," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki last year. A year earlier, he tried to drill Hungarians: “All incorrect words that flow from the capital of Hungary must be condemned. The Hungarian Government must be unequivocal in condemning what is happening in Ukraine. There are no exceptions.”
This week, this informative criticism has completely evaporated from the mouth of written politicians and texts of their publicist supporters. Orban is again the hero of the European right, defending freedom. Pisowski Deputy Minister is sitting present at the mercy of the Prime Minister of Hungary, and to any degree his full party, as far as we can fishy that any of the prosecutors' accusations may be covered in facts.
The organization conducting highly pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian policies, not looking to see whether it has serious partners to do so, that I will only mention, as always, the thought of Jarosław Kaczyński of March 2022, erstwhile the Russians stood under Kiev to introduce to Ukraine a "UN peace mission [...] shielded by appropriate forces, armed forces", a organization that has been distancing itself from Hungary and criticizing its authorities, present completely changed its tone. At least for a while. This shows that the organization and tribal interest can even obscure these emotions incorrectly, in my opinion, defined patriotism, which guided the written abroad policy. The sad reality of Poland is the reality of the decay of society stimulated by polarization strategies of leading politicians, in which no longer the concept, the ability to formulate and recognise the common good is known. In which the interests of its own political camp always prevail.
So much for the image of the intrapolitical situation of Poland. On an global level, the full issue shows the “order of pecking” in Europe, in which Poland, more populous, richer and, on paper, more militaryly, is pecked by Budapest. Hungary plays above their league, Poland below. An excellent summary will most likely shortly be the situation erstwhile Orban, repeatedly confronting the administration of Joe Biden and conducting abroad policy completely outside the agenda of the U.S. primacy, will have a better relation with the fresh tenant of the White home than Poland, for decades, under the authority of both wings of the showy dialectic syndicate known as Washington vassal. Even though this syndicate has conducted an highly serilistic policy towards all administration in the US, regulating it on the phone, or even on text, as we have late learned, not even the secretaries of state, but the US ambassadors in Warsaw, has not produced any peculiar bilateral relations, despite the delirium of supporters of specified policies.
Nota bene is just specified a willingness of Poles to "first to fight" for the inevitable order of American hegemony, whose maintenance in the past form is seemingly no longer a plan of Trump itself, is another origin expanding the hazard in relations with Russia. Against this background, Hungarian policy does not request to be added much. In their footsteps, there are more actors in our region that I will mention only the Prime Minister of Slovakia, who even decided to visit Moscow on Sunday and meet Vladimir Putin.
Polish mainstream media, journalists, publicists for months, or possibly years feed us a communicative about Hungary's alleged isolation. But it's precisely the opposite. Viktor Orban, despite confronting the mainstream politics of the Western bloc, remains his active associate with considerable freedom of manoeuvre... the freedom which he gained through just a multi-vector abroad policy, by having non-Western points of support for it. More and more European countries are politically approaching the Orbanian modus operandi and are moving distant from a policy considered only possible by COPIS.
In the state in which our country is located and in the quality of its elite it is hard to contact Orban. In his own way, 1 can be grateful that he exposes this state, without serious direct consequences for society. In the face of large political and economical shocks, the birth pains of the fresh world, specified consequences will almost surely come for Poles if they do not exchange this elite, political, media, opinion-making. It's a substance of sobering the public, due to the fact that society is the electorate and consumer of its messages. In that sense, society is her contributor.
