After 1989 Poland already had a variety of government coalitions, but it never happened that in 1 of them conservatives did not have their "control package" blocking liberal legislative projects. Around 15 October last year, it seemed that this might change. The country's ruling for 8 erstwhile years ultra-conservativeism has gotten so far behind the skin that they began to respond to it like allergy to birch pollen or youth on another wave of covid. People stood up until night in long queues to electoral venues mainly to make the penal code cease to be plagiarism from catechism. Most of the parliament without the engagement of conservatism – so shouted vox populi.
What? Traditionally, no. Conservativeism is like a fungus in a damp area in Poland. You can air, dry, paint, seal the windows, warm the facade, and even make the wall “insulation” – and it will yet come out. In the current hand, it took a sharp green colour and grew clover. Researchers investigating the fresh find qualified them as a variety of species Red-necked parrot.
But let's put the jokes aside before the heralds of political correctness accuse us of dehumanizing the PSL and its leader. After all, it is an average party, eternal and indelible from the Polish organization system. erstwhile she looks at the electoral threshold, she will always find the ridge on which she will scope the Sejm another term, whether it is the ridge of the Labour Union, Kukiza or Holownia. The ridge is the ridge, it's crucial that it carries.
The PSL was erstwhile called “melons”. It was expected to be green only superficial, but red inside. The organization then favored its coalitions with the SLD, or left at the summit of its post-communism. No 1 would even think of calling PSL conservative. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. It was a hard organization for voters, but a coalitionist ideal. She raised her hand behind everything that was going on, and the only subject of her interest were positions for very many activists spread after the vastness of the region Poland. "Staszek, what he wanted to prove in business" became an iconic PSL activist.
Iconic Staszek was Stanisław Dobrzański, who decided to become president of the company dealing with energy transmission lines, although he previously headed the MON, the library and held another authoritative functions with transmission lines and energy radically unconnected (the work at the Sugar Bank was inactive in his CV as close as possible, due to the fact that sugar is carbohydrates, or energy). Public opinion may have complained about the Staszków party, but Staszków focused on careers and did not turn the Vistula stick around for social change. And that was something.
But now, at the PSL, Vladek is in charge, and he will do well in any area. But he doesn't have a career or a fructa. He decided to make his mission to defend the simplification of conservatism in a time of government governed by the anti-conservative coalition chosen by the anti-conservative electorate.
Interestingly, he's coming out of MON, too. But erstwhile he has given the uniform the right to usage weapons against the law, he takes another fields. He discusses the content of permanent exhibitions to museums, so that they take into account our martyrdom and avoid hard questions about national history. He composes a list of school readings so that young people can be confronted with the same patterns of patriotism from almost 200 years ago, he felt sorry for the tragedy of dissections, he cheered for the November insurgents, and together with the witches suffered for miliony. It specifies what name people will be allowed to wear in a partnership (not all Kosiniak can be Kamisz and not all Kamisz Kosiniak!). I don't know if the Law and Justice would do any better...
For the next 3 years, we gotta wait with a hook and watch how much more of Vladek's conservatism will save. And whether in 2027 he will be entirely alone on them, or alternatively he will make them the gateway to the power of the right hand of Pisa.
