Sometimes it doesn't take a political affair to start a media storm. It's adequate to be successful. some She's starting to get real. The latest example is the loud case of Sławomiz Uznański-Wiśniewski, a scientist and astronomer, the second Pole in space, which became unexpectedly the subject of attacks by PiS politicians. What precisely is so hard on them?
Wrong batch
Let's start with the politically simplest: household associations. Wife Uznański-Wiśniewski is associated with the Civic Platform, which for the Jarosław Kaczyński organization automatically makes him persona non grata. Irrespective of merit, irrelevant value – it is adequate that individual in the household is on the "inappropriate" side of the political spectrum. This simple fact of how a red coat works on the imagination of politicians who dream of full control over the lives of citizens.
Failed Careers
But it's not just politics. Let's take a closer look – it's a mentality. Those criticizing the success of others are frequently frustrated with their own lives, and the political ranks of the Law and Justice are full of those whose careers have proved little spectacular than they dreamed of. Raised in the spirit of “family first” or “patriotism above all”, they forgot to make their own professional competences. Now the success of people like Uznański-Wiśniewski reminds them painfully of their own life choices, generating natural envy.
Control
There is something else – a more serious, even structural problem that the Law and Justice are facing today. This organization never loved intellectuals and scientists. Uznański-Wiśniewski, representing intelligence and the planet of science, embodies everything that PiS politicians are terrified of. cognition is simply a strength that cannot be controlled or bought for social transfers. Intelligence is unruly, independent, hard to submit to – and this is the worst script for the ruling camp.
Alternative to publishing and populism
And finally, the very essence of the Uznański-Wiśniewski mission. His scientific, exploration activity is not only a prestige for Poland, but above all an investment in development, which straight translates into the future of the full country. This is simply a possible impact on the professional, economical and technological life of many Poles, whose effects will be felt over the years. PiS, whose policy comes down to here and now – publishing, populism and simple slogans – knows that people like Uznański-Wiśniewski show an alternate way. A more difficult, demanding road, but leading to real, lasting success.
That is why the success of Sławomiz Uznański-Wiśniewski hurts PiS politicians most. due to the fact that he shows them everything that they have not achieved themselves—and they will never win again.
