If everything happens according to the script envisaged by the creators of the "Exception State", then Trzaskowski and Nawrocki will meet at the debates at least twice more. It is on May 12 at a debate which, according to the law, TVP must do. And besides debate or debate after the first circular of elections.

In total, how many of these duels are there to be — at the moment, it is impossible to predict. But after the first clash between the 2 main opponents in the debate reported on Friday by TVP, Polsat, and TVN, 1 thing is certain — all subsequent clash between Trzaskovsky and Nawrocki will become increasingly violent.
Their performances were a real competition for the amusement part of the ‘Special State’
Grotesque presidential debate of tv Republic was for the creators of the "Excellent State" an attractive gameplay before the exhausting debate of TVP, Polsat and TVN in the gymnasium of the advanced school in Koński. The triumph of the debate of the Republic is 1 — Simon Holovnia. The Marshal of the Sejm showed why he erstwhile won the hearts of voters. In the Republic market, despite very unfavourable conditions, the crowd of writers took him to the mark and kept showing him what he thought.

The remainder of the candidates active in the debate — Karol Nawrocki, Marek Jakubiak, Krzysztof Stanowski and Joanna Senyszyn — made the impression that it was a circus, not a presidential debate. With Senyszyn and Stanowski doing the circus completely consciously and deliberately. Their performances were a real competition for the amusement part of the ‘Special State’. To be honest, we frequently broke our sides — thanks to them, the debate of the Republic, which was to be patriotically pompous, proved to be a stand-up duel.

In the final, the debate under Nawrocki did not help. On the contrary. The PiS candidate inactive has the same weakness and no media training changes that. It is simply the most wooden of wooden candidates. A wooden candidate in the circus — it couldn't have ended well.
2020 Debate Local PiS and Ziobry organization activists have played the function of “inhabitants” asking questions.
The first debate, which was a major competition for the amusement part of the 'Exception State', has gradually evolved into a second, much more serious debate.
All the participants of the Republic circus marched to the gym, where the candidates who boycotted the Republic were waiting for them — Rafał Trzaskowski, Magdalena Biejat and Maciej Maciak, a candidate for extraterrestrial forces. The moving of Matiak and the bad guys from the debate of the Republic leads us to conclude that 100,000 signatures of support are already besides low a threshold to gain the right to run in elections.
Who won the second, boring but serious debate? It's more complicated than evaluating a show in the Republic circus. Let's start with how this marathon of debates happened, due to the fact that this will show us what the goals were for all major candidates. Well, it started beautiful innocent. This is Karol Nawrocki during his visit to Koński in Świętokrzyski challenged Trzaskowski – he proposed a debate on the Konec market.

All of this was predictable, just like the full Nawrocki campaign, which tries to copy elements of Andrzej Duda's campaign. In 2020, Duda held a hand with the servant to him TVP Jack Kurski organized "debate" in KońskiTo lure Trzaskovsky into a trap. “The Debate” was conducted by the pragmatically propisian presenter “News” Michał Adamczyk. Everything was prepared — as “inhabitants” asking “questions” were performed by local PiS activists and Ziebra party. Trzaskowski didn't come, which, according to any politicians and commentators, contributed to his slight defeat with Duda.

Therefore, now — we are moving on to the current run — Nawrocki challenged Trzaskowski in Konski. In this sublime way, he wanted to remind us that 5 years ago Trzaskowski refused to debate — and provoke another refusal to accuse him of being a coward.
Confederate leader Sławomir Mentzen is, according to the estimates of the Trzaskovsky staff, the more hard opponent than the PiS candidate
At first glance, Trzaskowski had no reason to debate with the PiS candidate. After all, he is simply a favourite and does not request a skirmish with Nawrock to enter the second round.
Despite this, Trzaskowski accepted the challenge. He put a video on social media“Mr Charles Nawrocki, I hear you want to debate. Come in. I'm just informing you, we'll gotta answer the questions of journalists. I'm waiting for you in the horsehouse. Do you have adequate courage?” 3 major tv stations — TVP, Polsat, and TVN — agreed to broadcast the debate from the scene.
Why did Trzaskowski decide to do this? For a fewer reasons. Firstly, he knew that further debates were coming, organised by the media. On Monday 14 April, the debate was announced by the enemy to him by tv Republic and Trzaskowski did not go to it. If he had not accepted Nawrocki's challenge from Horses and had not gone to the Republic, the PiS staff would have started building a communicative that he was a coward and was afraid of Nawrocki.
Secondly, the municipal news is that the leader of the Confederation Sławomir Mentzen, who is on Nawrock's heels, is according to the estimates of the Trzaskovsky staff, the more hard opponent than the PiS candidate. In this sense, the celebrated pass — a situation in which Mentzen jumps over Nawrocki and enters the second circular — is very uncomfortable for Trzaskovsky.

Why? due to the fact that Nawrocki as a competitor allows the usage of a full series of tricks, tested in campaigns against PiS. And Mentzen — the first candidate outside the PO-PiS cartel in a 4th of a century — does not fit into this run template.
Of course, he can be attacked for extremist views — but that would mean rebuilding the full Trzask campaign, programmed to fight the PiS candidate.
In this sense, Trzaskowski, accepting Nawrocki's challenge, informally assisted him in a duel with Mentzen — and helped him due to the fact that he had his own business.
The gathering of both staffs ended in a haughty brawl
But this series of events led to the consequence of Nawrocki's staff. Realizing that their candidate had an average charisma and had small political experience, they considered that he could effectively urge a clash with Trzaskowski.
And they couldn't afford it. That's why they requested that right-wing tv representatives — the Republic and Poland24 join the debate..
Was this request justified? Writers consider TVP and TVN to be government tubes, while Polsat as a pragmatically rotating station, trying to live well with all power. In this sense, he was to give Nawrock guarantees that the emissaries of Tomasz Sakiewicz or Karnowski brothers who would throw him rescue wheels would be among the asking questions.

But at the same time Nawrocki's staff knew that the authorities of TVP and TVN would not agree to join the Republic due to the fact that both stations were brutally attacked by the Republic. Thursday gathering of representatives of both staffs at the TVP office on Voronica in Warsaw It ended in a scandal — and without the slightest conclusion.

In this situation, the Republic has announced that it will organise its own debate — besides on Friday, besides in the evening, besides in Konski, only in the city market. Sakiewicz's station started inviting another candidates – clearly it was about bringing as many politicians as possible to show that Trzaskowski was a large absentee.
On Friday morning it seemed that Nawrocki would not come to Trzaskowski and Trzaskowski would not come to Nawrocki.
Everything changed the entrance to the game Simon Holownia. The Marshal of the Sejm announced"I will not let half of Poland to be excluded from the elections. People are to decide about their outcome, not candidates from tv on the phone. I am going to the Horses present to talk in the debate."
The next candidates followed Holovnia — Magdalena Biejat of the Left, Marek Jakubiak associated with Kukiz, businessman and influencer Krzysztof Stanowski, erstwhile MP of the Left Joanna Senyszyn, and Maciej Maciak, a candidate from another galaxy.

They all went to Konski — the majority first went to the Republic to then go to the Trzask debate.
Thus in practice, candidates of smaller parties and independents broke the KO/PiS dual. Key — Karol Nawrocki besides came to Trzaskovsky after the Republic circus. Thus, the first open clashes between KO and PiS candidates — even if the second plan players were active in that clash.
Trzaskowski did not usage anything from a wide arsenal of tackles against Nawrock
So, who won and who lost? The favourite was Trzaskowski, but the chance was not full exploited. First of all, Trzaskowski did not usage anything against Nawrock from a reasonably wide arsenal of tackles — A murmuring relation in the criminal world, kibolian fascinations, costly abroad voyages for state money, months occupied hotel apartments with institutions where he worked. He briefly referred — incomprehensiblely — to Nawrocki's usage of the second identity “Tadeusz Batyr”.
On the another hand, Trzaskowski was not prepared for the apparent attacks of Nawrocki concerning support for LGBT minorities, changes in his position on immigration issues, or financing of his Campus Poland by German foundations.
All of this would be even understandable if Trzaskowski chose another strategy — that he does not enter into sharp disputes with Nawrocki, but in his background tries to present like a statesman, making strong announcements that will give him a presidential snout.
Except it didn't. The creators of the "Excellent State" truly did not remember any crucial fresh declaration by Trzaskovsky, which would fulfil this function.

Trzaskowski was clearly annoyed. possibly it was crucial that his debate was moved by a good 40 minutes, due to the fact that he was waiting for the participants of the Republic circus to join. I am certain that, with 8 participants in the debate, he has ceased to be yours. As a substance of fact, Most candidates were harassing him in the debate — whether they are right-wing Nawrocki and Jakubiak, or coalitions of Holovnia and Biejat, or of Stanowski and Senyszyn. The alien spoke to all landowners, with peculiar emphasis on the lovers of Vladimir Vladimirovich.

The PiS chieftains had a plan from the beginning for Nawrocki to enter the debate in Trzaskowski
Paradoxically, Nawrocki did better in Trzaskovsky's debate than in the circus of the Republic, where there were no serious candidates outside the Holovnia. Nevertheless, even in the debate of Trzask, the PiS candidate showed nothing that could give him crucial growth. He was stiff, and he spoke in general. In addition, he has failed to control his nerves respective times, and he is beginning to make a strong licentious state.
Even his grips were predictable. Just like Andrew Duda In the debate before the 2015 election, he put before then president Bronisław Komorowski a flag with the logo of the Civic PlatformThat's how Nawrocki put a rainbow flag on Trzaskowski, symbolizing LGBT.
At the same time, however, Nawrocki avoided major accidents, which delights the PiS staff who were afraid of clashing with much more experienced Trzaskowski.
The hoarding usually works well in debates — this time too. In fact, Holownia himself knew that his experience of tv and his oratorial talent would aid him, so he pushed into both debates. He fights for the podium due to the fact that it will warrant him a further political existence — our interviewors from the ruling coalition foretell that if he gets below 7%, the 3rd Road will fall apart and then his organization Poland 2050.
Today, Holovnia even claims that he was the 1 who pulled the full squad from the Republic's debate into a debate with Trzaskowski — even Nawrocki. Of course, this was not the case — the PiS staffmen had a plan from the beginning that Nawrocki, surrounded by his supporters and as an assistant of the Republic, would enter the debate in Trzaskovsky. We will say more — The Holownia has ruined this plan due to the fact that Nawrocki did not have a peculiar entry into the debate in Trzaskowski.
We hear these makiawelic visions in the PiS, according to which Trzaskowski gave Holownia to win the debate to improve his ratings. Then — we proceed to study — in the second circular there will be more Holowna voters to take. And he will take them in this version of Trzaskowski thanks to the support of Holownia.
If we believe this, the Trzask run is conducted at completely unintelligible levels of sophistication. due to the fact that to invitation Nawrocki to the debate, predicting that Holovnia would appear and conduct the discussion so as to give him a fewer points to receive it in the second circular — it is simply a championship. but that's impossible.
