Lost Imaginations
The interview given by Marta Nawrocka to 1 of the TVs was to be – at least for the originators of the event – the minute of the breakthrough. The wife of a resident – in a planet inactive dominated by men – was to bring fresh quality. Those who hoped for sensitivity to women's affairs, advancement in moral disputes, though possibly the shadow of knowing for reproductive themes, which have been dividing Poland for years, has failed. alternatively of a breakthrough we got a cool message: Nawrocka will not be a spokesperson for women's affairs, there will be no progress, there will not even be a symbolic gesture. The tv performance went more towards setting up in the woods (also had guns, handcuffs) than demonstrations in defence of women.
It hurts a lot. After all, the past of women in Poland is simply a communicative of the perseverance of the manifestations, but besides of the influence of 1 woman, specifically Piłsudski's wife, who put force on her husband to sign the applicable document. The hope that “one of us” at a crucial minute will aid to decision the accents even by a millimeter is possibly naive, but besides human. In this context, the attitude of Andrzej Duda's wife is reminded. For years, however, criticized for her silence, she was able to influence the decision to veto the improvement of the education of Przemysław Czarnek.
You can argue about the scope and meaning of this gesture, but it was a signal that even with limited area for manoeuvre, you can effort something “to ease”, brake, ease the course. Marty Nawrock's interview didn't even say that. But there was a clear declaration of loyalty to the position quo. An effort to warm up the image of the political backdrop proved equally unsuccessful. The tv communicative was expected to, I believe, disenchant a individual with strong emotions, show a human face, dismiss associations with aggressive kind of politics and old controversy. I realize that improving the image of the character is not easy. possibly it was better to stay silent. Effect? Complete flap – for those who hoped for a real change, and for those who wanted to sale it a substitute.
The most bitter thing about all this is that delusions were not abstract. They were rooted in the memory of women who truly won something. Those who were not afraid to hazard position, reputation, comfort. It turns out that the very presence of a female in the sphere of power is not a warrant of change. sex does not replace courage and the symbol does not replace action. At this point I would like to remind, for example, the character of Jolanta Kwasniewska, who by many was pointed out as having a good chance of taking the office of president after 2 terms of husband. A female who, at the time of her husband's presidency – apart from kind and chic – besides had the energy to act, intellect and courage. Our lost delusions hurt, but they have 1 advantage: they teach realism. And possibly this – paradoxically – will be the most lasting conclusion from the interview of the presidential palace's roommate. ELA
Untouchable
Some would like to see a peculiar protective umbrella in politics. And to extend it not over ministers, MPs, or presidential candidates, but over their spouses. “Leave your families alone” – we hear as shortly as there is simply a shadow of criticism. That's what Simon Holovnia has been shouting lately. but I don't think it's that simple. If a individual consciously enters the first order of public life – even as a “assistant person” or “warming image” – he ceases to be exclusively private. Politicians' marriages – mainly due to them – appear at conventions, campaigns, social media, during abroad visits. They accompany in moments of triumph, enjoy the prestige of office, frequently with protection, travel. It is so hard to keep that their function is completely outside public debate.
The hoarding home was besides eager to see his wife in different situations. Then everything was OK – the wife could tell how large her husband is, how worth voting for him. By the way, he was talking about his wife's values, which would give him those X votes more. At 1 time, erstwhile the Ministry of Education was headed by Przemysław Czarnek, it was loud that it was for his wife that the medical faculty was established at the university. At the same time, his statements about women, young people, or number communities caused large emotions. Can it truly be considered that the individual who spent the most time with him had no influence? That there were no conversations at home, that there were no toning attempts? So why can't I presume that what Czarnek said was met with his wife's approval? Let him say what he wants, just as long as he gets me a chair! That kind of logic comes up on its own.
Similarly, in the case of Karol Nawrocki – a individual who builds his image around history, memory and state pride. If the wife accompanies in authoritative events, performs publicly, supports the run – she becomes part of the message. And this message is assessed, as is the programme. After all, the wife heard whistles due to the fact that she showed up with the president, so why shouldn't I justice her media appearances? I completely do not realize the wave of criticism due to the fact that women are judged in retrograde and unconscionable... I'm just saying, I'm not talking about tabloid gossip or walking into a bedroom with shoes. This is much more serious: responsibility. Political spouses frequently contribute to this and benefit from the fact that their partner "somewhere was elected". Since there are tangible benefits, there is besides the right of the public to ask questions and to issue courts in specified cases. Wives and husbands have the best chance of being a mirror for politics. It is at home that the mask falls, where speeches and press conferences end.
If a politician radicalizes language, shares society, plays with emotions – he should first hear the opinion of the nearest person. Does he then hear, “You are right, go that way” or does he say, “Think, are you not overreacting?” or even, “You have made a fool of yourself.” The story of the integrity of political families can be comfortable. It protects against hard questions about nepotism, about the usage of public money, about moral work for words and decisions. Meanwhile, democracy is not about criticizing only those who sign laws. It is besides that we analyse the full strategy of dependence and influence.
Of course there is simply a limit. No sensible individual should attack the children of politicians or draw private drama. But an adult spouse, consciously present in public life, enjoying his privileges, cannot be completely out of the question. So, alternatively of repeating the mantra: "Leave your families alone", it is worth to say honestly: if you stand on the stage, in the front row, in the light of the cameras, next to the candidate – you take on any of the work for what happens on this stage. You're even easier off this scene than he is. ALEXANDER POPEAN
Persistent Demoralization
The city of Jarosław invited residents on 1 March to participate in the Wolf Trail, which was 1 of many celebrations of the National Day of Memory of the Cursed Soldiers. Run, run. moving is like laughing – just health. But don't enter politics, due to the fact that it sucks and destroys. There were never any “soldiers cursed” in Poland. This is another invention made only for political purposes. It's not about worshiping anyone. This is about political attractiveness of political formation and attracting supporters to this formation, of course all on the basis of resentment towards the USSR. As with the Smolensk tragedy: “They killed us the president.”
And here the attention – specified a play gives young people a simple conclusion: if they artificially make heroes here, then most likely all these another celebrations honoring the fallen in defence of their homeland, all these akin parades, speeches and volleys, are besides great, colloquially speaking, water pic and photomontage. Thus, modern manifestations of support for the “unbreakable” are primarily demoralisation of young people. And remember, the real request to remember and reflect on our ancestors is delicate tissue. On the another hand, politics, especially uncompromisingly grown, can infect the noblest motives.
In Poland, the culture of worshiping actual heroes is developed, established and rich. And there's no request to extrapolate her 5th wheel, and it's annoyingly creaking. Among those who did not surrender their weapons after the end of the last war, there were most likely noble and lost people. But there were besides also many gangs and criminals to bring them all to the altar today. After liberation, Poland continued to bleed, although it did not have to. A powerful (almost 900 pages) book by Prof. R. Wnuk and Dr. S. Poleszak was late published “Unbreakable or Realists?” A book about a postwar guerrilla. Without the plot, only documented facts, and reads like Sienkiewicz's “Dink”. A book with no bets either. And I think that (except historians) who do not know this book should not talk on these topics. I'm sorry.
Politician or clown?
Smart, sympathetic, cultural. This is no doubt, but unfortunately – politics is required more. First of all, common sense. However, with this our hero, Mr Simon Holovnia, has a serious problem. I will not compose about what is happening in the organization which he has long presided over – Poland 2050. It's a waste of time. But let us callback any of his events. Unexpected meetings with PiS politicians. Why did he make these visits? We don't know until today. But can they only be considered average today? moving for president of the Republic of Poland? He's smart adequate to know there's no chance of success. But what harm is it to try? If he had moved his head a small bit, he would have known that he was taking votes from Trzaskowski.
In my humble opinion, he knew. Nothing revealing, but what does that mean about our hero? besides rapidly sworn in by Karol Nawrocki as president of the Republic of Poland. Let us remind you – the results of the elections have not yet been approved even by the State Election Commission, so why the rush? And why this super-mysterious information about something as outrageous as a coup? besides many different, very hard to realize information, besides many situations where there is no clear assessment, where it is hard to find any logic. That's why the title of the text. Offensive? I assure you – I had no bad intentions. But the facts talk for themselves. Unfortunately. KRZYSZTOF WASNIEWSKI
Look out! Accident!
And I'm not talking about another road accident, which is simply a informing sign. I mean, an accident that could happen in any country that wants to make (if it can) or buy an atomic bomb. Will it be possible with 24-hour monitoring? Is it possible to effort and steal? Absolutely, due to the fact that they were already in both the USA and the USSR. 5 February of that year is the day it ceased to apply, as it expired after more than 60 years, the last treaty on atomic weapons control in the planet of fresh START. It reduced the number of U.S. and russian atomic bombs (now Russia) to 1550 on each side, in 800 transfer systems. Negotiated in 2010 by Medvedev (the then president) and Obama entered into force a year later for 10 years, it was extended to another 5. We are in a situation like during the 1962 Cuban crisis, erstwhile generals told Kennedy that the USSR had 500 atomic missiles (the US had 65 of them). Kennedy decreed to make 1,000 of them. But erstwhile they corrected that Khrushchev had only 4 rockets capable of arriving in the US, it was besides late to retreat it. The decree worked, production went on. And erstwhile she moved to the United States, she besides moved to the USSR. There were another disarmament treaties, but they had long expired. no of the parties truly wanted to make fresh ones, due to the fact that they were playing... China. present they have more than 600, and by 2030 they want 1,000 atomic missiles. The U.S. erstwhile entered alleged star wars, but the USSR went towards miniaturization of atomic charges. tiny ones, from 3 to 10 kilotons, fired from cannons or placed in hypersonic rockets. There were even common (US and USSR) controls, previously prejudiced, but the pandemic in 2020 stopped them and... ended.
I read on TVN24 that attempts are being made to reconstruct rigid military communications between the US and Russia. I think it's to inform about atomic accidents. What about Trump? In the election run he said, "likes denuclearisation". Now he changed his mind, though I can't warrant he'll stay that way, due to the fact that erstwhile ANGORA prints it, and individual in Chicago reads it and reports it to him, he won't change it again. Not long ago, in an interview with the fresh York Times, he said about this treaty: "If it expires, it expires. We will make better agreements" (...). And what does that mean for the world, including us? For the world, agreements are no longer in force to limit rocket defence systems, medium-range forces and common rights of flights. Trump threatened to resume atomic tests – first. And secondly, fresh START could endanger the 1970 atomic Non-Proliferation Agreement. This agreement provided that countries that do not have atomic weapons (including Iran) undertook not to have atomic weapons, provided that the countries with those weapons "in good faith’ Disarmament actions. Ha! I can already see the “good faith” in Putin's eyes. In the absence of agreements, it can happen that the list of countries aspiring to hold atomic weapons will extend – e.g. Saudi Arabia, Sweden and even... Poland. And if this happens 1 day, atomic logic can work again according to the password – the more warheads and countries having them, the easier it is for an accident. Will it origin an avalanche? The probability will increase enormously. CORDIAN
Machete in the Silesian Godka
– PNWP (President of Not All Poles) showed a unique consequence – it does not bring him glory, but alternatively a shame that he does not know the past of Poland, due to the fact that if he did, he would not wave a veto like a machete in the jungle. What did he do this time? Yeah, for the second time, he didn't sign the law to establish the Silesian Godka regional language. I am a peasant – a Pole thrown out by the Soviets from Lviv. It may not be a surviving area term, but I'm not offended.
I have lived in Silesia, Opole for 80 years, with more than half of it I have worked between the Silesians and I cannot say the incorrect word, due to the fact that I would have sinned about my Silesian neighbors, and PNWP, if he knew the history, would have known that in the largest Opole church all Sunday there were Masses in Polish (destroyed in 1939) that it was the grandfathers and fathers of the present inhabitants, whom he so unceremoniously ignored, who fought for the Polishness of Silesia in times erstwhile he was not even in the project. He would know that the Silesians suffered many harms from both Germans and the authority of the Polish-Soviet commune, which treated them as a second sort.
True, Biterut issued a decree giving the right to recognise Polish citizenship to all who were born in Silesia, but it was only specified a political catch. At the same time, regulations were issued on the policing of names and surnames, which was done according to the officials of the civilian position office. For example, Jorg became Andrew and Joszko Nowak. These provisions were only amended in 1956 and yet removed in 2008, giving the chance to return to the old names and surnames. PNWP button celebrates that Silesian Godka was a link of Silesians to Poland in the time of Germanic terror. alternatively of relying on facts, he believes in tales about the separation of Silesia from Poland. And specified projects do not even have a German minority, which is now in decline.
Shame on you, Mr. PNWP, so dismiss Poles. And the Lviv Baviar of advanced Lychakov would say this: “This is the 1 for the Dear Lord?” Greetings RYSHARD
A Holy Life
– I would like to compose a fewer words about what is presently happening in dog shelters, but not only. The climate is that all year winter comes, erstwhile lighter, erstwhile colder, and so it was this year too, but that the colder 1 came. After a fewer days with negative temperatures it turned out that many dog shelters in Poland were not prepared adequate to supply their tenants with conditions to last the winter. We frequently watched on tv screens the incredibly tragic conditions in which animals placed under human care. But I want to bring up another side of this animal tragedy. Thousands of officials work in all provincial, urban, county, etc. offices. I think there are frequently separate nature protection cells that, in my opinion, should look at how animal shelters are run. We now have on the screens a dump of various mayors, chiefs and another major officials, and besides representatives of social organizations dealing with the protection of dogs and cats.
What were you doing in the fall erstwhile you had to look at the shelters, or are they ready for winter? Why didn't you alert about these pathologies back then? Why then, erstwhile it was known that winter – lighter or colder – would inactive happen, did not show these shelters of death and did not draw consequences for their owners? possibly it was essential to aid get warming materials and another useful things erstwhile the temperature drops below zero. Now you act as large animal protectors, but unfortunately, you're not. quite a few people are doing a check-up on cars, clothes, shoes, a check-up on fire supplies for the winter months before the winter comes. Now, after a while, you're leaning over animals frequently surviving under utmost conditions? halt staring on tv screens in the future so that this situation doesn't happen again, and you socialists open your hearts more than your mouth.
