Christmas is simply a time erstwhile political and about political elites fill us with wishes and execute gestures to emphasize the nature of this peculiar time. Often, intentionally or not, they besides item many another issues. From these announcements, I assume, good will, you can read a lot between the lines. Who and how makes wishes, what priorities he emphasizes, what language he uses, what decorations. The following review of Christmas activity is simply a friendly smile. We leave you with a thorough, intellectual interpretation. The following order is accidental.
‘President’s Bombs‘
Jarosław Kaczyński – considered by many as the first individual in the country, and surely most closely observed – most likely amazed many with Christmas accents. On 21 December, an interview (for the Polish Newspaper) appeared on rather serious topics. But already on December 23 we could admire adequate unusual Christmas spot. At the opening, we hear a conviction like a time-titling bell: “The holidays are coming and the fresh Year after them”. However, this inauguration is preceded by rather bold and very direct shots that warm the image of the “president”. On the tree, at the second bell of sleighs, we watch alternatively private-looking ornaments: made of sequins, the English word “Love” (love), a bomb with the image of a cat and a dog in Santa hats, a crystal ballerina and a smiling reindeer, bombs – cars and embroidered hearts, and in the background even a baseball-shaped bomb appears to be hanging. All of this is interwoven with a mini phase plan with candles and Christmas cards, which stand on shelves in many Polish houses. “Rebirth time, time of hope”, community, patriotism, peace, rich Poland – in wishes specified topics prevail. At the end we see a bomb with the inscription Law and Justice (surely on peculiar order). The comments under the movie are off, but we appreciate the ingenuity and sense of humor.
Co-operating Sejm and legislature – a Christmas miracle
The Chancellery of the Sejm has been celebrated since mid-December. On December 19, Hanukkah candles lit here (ceremony attended by Deputy Marshals of the Sejm of Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and Piotr Zgorzelski). It besides took place in advance Christmas Eve gathering of the Chancellery staff. It is worth noting a certain amount of cooperation over divisions. The gathering was attended by Deputy Marshals of the Sejm of Małgorzata Gosievska, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska and Ryszard Terlecki. Bo The fee gathering of the parliamentarians themselves was held earlier on 15 December. How it worked, since next to Elżbieta Witek the co-host of the gathering was the Marshal of the legislature Tomasz Grodzki – we are not investigating this.
– I'm certain we're different in quite a few things. And that's perfectly normal. I am very pleased that all the clubs and parliamentary circles present on this common fee are represented. This shows that there is simply a time in the year that unites us and that for that time we suspend disputes. This is our interior need, resulting from the heart, from the uniqueness of Christmas – said Marshal Elżbieta Witek.
– I want you the warmth of household and peace, the joy of Christmas. These holidays bring faith, hope, and love. I ask that we besides think about our Ukrainian sisters and brothers at the Christmas table. Their holidays can be difficult, cool, powerless. Nevertheless, they always bring hope. Let us share this hope with them. I want that, despite our hard political work, we would be closer to our families and return to work I hope in a better 2023," said the Marshal of the legislature Tomasz Grodzki. Isn't it beautiful?
– Be a model of conversation, dialogue, concern for the common good, concern for Poland, for Homeland – the Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, the metropolitan of Warsaw, appealed in turn. Aha, the solemn gathering was accompanied by carols performed by the typical Artistic squad of the Polish Army.
Family in the Ministry of Family
The Ministry of household and Social Policy, as suggested by its name, held a gathering of invited families with prominent politicians. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, the hostess – Minister Marlena Maląg, Deputy Minister Barbara Socha and president of the Dorota Bojemska household Council appeared. The accent has besides been placed on intergenerational bonds, of which we have late written about the importance of building. Minister Marlena Maląg and Deputy Ministers Stanisław Szwed, Barbara Socha, Paweł Wdjik and Anna Schmidt – they besides met with seniors and grandchildren – and themselves Minister Marlena Maląg posed for photos with Christmas table. In a word, the household reigned in the Ministry of Family.
President in uniform
President Andrzej Duda put on a uniform. possibly by emphasizing the seriousness of the situation in which Poland and our part of Europe are located – he and his wife took part in the soldier's Christmas Eve in Rzeszów. "It can be said that in any sense her appearance forced life and the ongoing history" (part of the speech). The presidential couple was to pay a visit to Polish airmen at the Saulla military base in Lithuania. However, the weather forced a change of plans - a want was necessarily transmitted online.
Bethlehem’s light travels from Ministry to Ministry
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki – in addition to gathering families, where he emphasized the request to put aside social divisions, in his Christmas message he pointed out that very frequently abroad meetings begin with admiration and thanks for the support that Poles gave to Ukrainian citizens – “we behaved as needed”, he said. The Prime Minister besides accepted the Bethlehem Light of Peace, which came from the birthplace of Jesus and goes to parishes, offices and various institutions throughout Poland. This global light relay with scouts and scouts begins in the Cave of the Birth of the Lord in Bethlehem. Bethlehem's Light of Peace besides went further – at the Ministry of Justice Deputy Minister Michał Woś accepted them. In the Ministry of Agriculture and agrarian improvement – Deputy Prime Minister Henryk Kowalczyk. This isn't the first specified visit. The war in Ukraine has surely highlighted the importance of peace and the message of peace is now appreciated by all.
Minister Przemysław Czarnek, in turn, stressed in his Christmas wishes that Christmas is simply a time of remainder and remainder from regular duties, a time of meetings filled with kindness and respect, erstwhile we think in a peculiar way about what we have in common. He appealed to Christ, who pours faith, love and hope into people's hearts. Yes, we besides support rest... children, youth and students have Christmas holidays and Christmas in their entirety.
Evil and Good Changed by Cases
It is time to look at the opposing sides of the political scene. I thought the Left didn't make wishes and before Christmas only deals with widow’s pension. But the day before Christmas came, however, the laconic, yet the following, wishing: “We want everyone a merry Christmas and a good fresh Year, in which fear and evil will be replaced by concern and cooperation, the year in which good will prevail.” So there is simply a clear emphasis on... morality and good. “The holidays are going – I know, they will not be easy” - starts his Christmas place Donald Tusk on the website https://platforma.org/ “We are hurt by prices, regular higher and uncertainty of the future, but we feel that evil is buried, that hope is born,” he convinced against the background of the Christmas tree. "Let us remember that light always wins the darkness," he added, citing a wafer break.
Zbigniew Ziobro besides referred to akin rhetoric "Christmas reminds us that Good will always prevail over Evil" (twitter entry). Solid Poland is based on Christian values and boldly reaches to the heart of Christmas: “Let your homes fill not only the aroma of gingerbread, the sounds of your favourite Christmas carols and the joy of giving gifts, but besides Faith, Hope and Love flowing from the Newborn”.
Merry Christmas to you Solidarna Polska. pic.twitter.com/lWeREfvxSg

Surprising Ideas for Political Christmas
Confederation – she did not post Christmas wishes on her website focusing solely on political activity. There's more happening on Twitter. Here a tweet with a movie from the devastated “holy” Paris was given – and wishes were made by individual Confederate politicians.
They're practicing before fresh Year's Eve. https://t.co/P8kxTfbpoi

Sławomir Metzen, wishing the best of all, poses for photography with his wife and 3 children – everyone hugged together, but a Christmas tweet composed about culinary themes: “End. I can't eat anymore.
Dearly beloved, on this Christmas with my wife Karina and the sons Daniel (pictured) and Arthur we want you joy, peace of spirit, all the graces needed from the newborn Jesus and kindness from the people around you. Greetings from Szczecin! pic.twitter.com/msWagOkCEF

Merry Christmas to you Mentzen family! pic.twitter.com/q7E1BNtvnl
Szymon Hołownia, so focused on building his imagination of Poland 2050, that on his website his movement did not announcement Christmas. Perhaps, as with the Confederacy – another organization to the acquis – a question of the budget? On Twitter, however, the Polish 2050 shows a alternatively ingenious and modern profile picture, where Poland has the form of a shelf or a shelf – the form of Poland, and is filled with gifts. Isn't that a suggestive image? But where do these gifts come from? ...because to give them away, you gotta get them somewhere...? Let's leave the question unanswered for now. plan is meant to attract. Christmas subject in the content of Polish 2050 entries appears straight and indirectly. Poland 2050 Zachodniopomorskie boasts a visit to the animal shelter and a fresh relationship with Pixel, who is looking for a fresh home. There is besides the action “Animal, it's not a gift” and the visit of the yellow Santa Claus, the sticking of dumplings to the needy, the reports of visits to various social services and wishes in sign language, and... the call to take a forest bath. Individual activists besides make wishes.
Twitter/Poland2050I besides look at the Ombudsman's website. 23 December There were brief wishes. friendly meetings, peace, a sense of safety and fulfilled hopes – let us besides appreciate the full name: Christmas. Wishes – Marcin Wiązek along with BRPO team. However, the Ombudsman of Children's Rights – cheerful, colorful and cheerful already on 6 December. Mr. Mikołaj Pawlak can be found girded with an apron, serves (and gives precise recipes!) on “Crunchy Pies of the Ombudsman”. Along with Mrs. Grandma and young helpers, she cooks “traditional red borscht with ears ‘and oven wrapped, ‘filled with macaws“In about the vacation atmosphere, it transmits 2,500 teddy bear rescuers of the State Guardand posing in Wrocław during the inauguration of the tram with logo Free Children's telephone Trust. In our wishes, we hear that a household warm atmosphere should “melt” all problems, and hope beats from the tiny Jesus Christ[1].
Christmas Universities and Magistrates
Out of curiosity, I put in the search engine the slogan: “University of Warsaw wafers” – I think that is not the point. But in the Christmas issue of the magazine “The Schools” (UW), there were any cultural columnists dealing with Christmas customs. So there are any references to Christmas. I look at the Jagiellonian University – somewhere between "Research on the restoration of fertility of women suffering from PCOS", "Night of biologists" and awards that the Jagiellonian University boasts about, like the UW, Christmas wishes – yours, on the front page, but erstwhile I click, it turns out that it is only a blenda, wishes you will not experience. Blenda disappears quickly. But there are wafers and this between academics, "The Scripture fragment was read by the president of the local government of students of the Jagiellonian University, Katarzyna Jedlińska," I read in a message. However, I do not see the progressive consequence of the Department of the safety of the Jagiellonian University, which richly (the employment of many employees) promotes sex freedom and equality of all ointments. Is this a Christmas truce? Unfortunately, I'm not checking to see if the academic choir changed the pronouns in the carols. possibly I should. I'm going after the punch- I'm looking at the UAM website. In Poznań I find myself surprised, rather nicely prepared Christmas video with wishes from “JM Rector UAM”: “Dear Members, employees and employees, PhD students and PhD students, students and students(ufff, ma'am, she's not wrong).
And what did the Warsaw City Hall prepare for Christmas? – he placed on the Christmas grounds – Christmas decorations, fairs in Podwal. There are besides light decorations for the children's hospital. There are besides many references to Christmas traditions on posters in the subway. The Krakow Magistrate wishes “A beautiful Christmas and full of good surprises of the fresh Year 2023”. The “The Tree Action” is moved here to give the second life to the Christmas tree in the pot. The president of Krakow speaks personally about Christmas. "I want that your homes were aware that things were not bad and would be better" – seems to improvise so unexpectedly optimistic wishes Jacek Majchrowski, who is aware of the war in Ukraine and of economical and financial challenges. His optimism prevails, as you can see, any problems.
And specified optimism that we want you in this past and upcoming reality for the coming year 2023 and may the vacation political truce last as long as possible. Hidden wishes and a task for the inquisitive—see what the Scriptures call a "new birth."
