For a moment, the 2 feuded camps forgot to accuse each other. specified episodes seldom happen, but they can be calm. It should be stressed that for 30 years no crucial political player has questioned the main directions of Polish abroad policy. any began the march to NATO and the European Union, others finished it. It was the same with the U.S. coverage. Apart from utmost groups, no 1 questioned that the safety guarantees from Washington were the foundation of our security. So we can be certain that no substance who will co-create the government in the future (and without the Law and Justice or the KOs it is impossible to rule), nothing will change at this point.
That's where unity ends. In all another case, we stay divided and it is not unusual. Democracy feeds on conflict. The problem is that Polish politicians have worked in it for so long that they can no longer talk differently than through allegations against predecessors or successors. That leads to grotesque. The construction of the wall on the border with Belarus – criticized by KO in opposition – was later reinforced by the same organization erstwhile it came to power. The Law and Justice Department is attacking the government for taxes and regulations it had previously introduced. There is simply a recording on the Internet, in which Mateusz Morawiecki complains about clean air zones, and Sławomir Mentzen reposts him, saying that their introduction was enabled by the bill pushed through by the Moravian government. So we have a dispute for the dispute itself.
Does that mean we can't do any more? past teaches us we can. The death of John Paul II or the Smolensk catastrophe for a minute liberated a sense of community in Poles. We remember photos of Vistula and Cracovia fans going together to mass for the Pope. We remember the sea after April 10. But these were moments – due to the fact that the community is born suddenly, and then just as rapidly everyday life returns. The same happens in the face of an external threat: first we unite around the flag and the strongest leaders (today Tusk and Nawrocki), then we mobilize to fight, and yet we begin to settle mistakes. Ukraine is the best example of this: Zelenski, who at the beginning of the war became a symbol of resistance, present faces criticism and falling support. The destiny of wartime leaders can be inexorable erstwhile they are silent, the nations besides want to remainder from them.
In the end, however, we should mention those who always break out of communion of hearts. During the Second planet War, Poland did not stain itself with a cooperative government like Vicha. But that doesn't mean there was no rehearsal. In October 1939, Andrzej Świetlicki established the National extremist Organization, dreaming of a pro-German government. The Germans at first looked at him favorably, even gave him an apartment. But as early as the spring of 1940, they found that the NOR did not fit their plans. The members of the organization were shot in Palmira. And if Germany had not done so, sooner or later the Polish Underground State would have gotten to them. It's a lesson to those who, alternatively of reaching out to their countrymen, are willing to drag her out to individual else.
So possibly Russian drones flying over Poland are more than an episode. They remind us that in times of trial we can talk with 1 voice, but besides with a informing as to how easy we return to tribal disputes. National unity exists, but it is like an astronomical phenomenon: rare, momentary, visible only erstwhile the sky illuminates the fire.
