He did not play the game, but passed it, standing in the second line. This can be summed up by what Radosław Sikorski has done over the last fewer months. Today, we do not know what would have happened if he had fought Karol Nawrocki. But this question frequently comes up among KO voters.
The survey showed what Poles think about Sikorski
"He is simply a gigachad" – she wrote on the subject about Sikorski last year, Katarzyna Zuchowicz, who looked at his speech in the US. You can like Sikorski or not, but erstwhile he speaks abroad, he usually steals a show. He can address Vladimir Putin's people hard. The "Gigachad" did not come from the air – it was named so younger net users. In short, it's individual who's rocking in any field.
– His phenomenon is that he is simply a very good abroad minister, first of all. Secondly, it is hard, and this is simply a characteristic which Poles at the minute appreciate very much – notes prof. Renata Mieńkowska-Norkiene, a polytolologist from the University of Warsaw.
A period after the presidential election, Sikorski crashed the bank in a trust poll. As the survey of the IBRiS studio for Onetu showed, he defeated 3 presidents – Andrzej Duda, Karol Nawrocki and Rafał Trzaskowski. And it turned out that he is the 1 the Poles trust most. It can be assumed that much of his sympathies are KO electorate.
– It is simply a universal politician who consumes very different views. In my opinion, he is conservative, but due to his global activity he grows up a small bit to be a statesman," emphasised Dr. Paweł Maranowski, sociologist from Collegium Civitas.
Sikorski in the run did not hide underground. He attended rallies, tried to mobilize voters. The already celebrated beer with Sławomir Mentzen was his initiative.
In fact, he was doing his best to aid the K.O. candidate. Today, after a short time, he bitterly evaluates a run that was a painful failure. "I think we request to look at what went incorrect in the run as a civilian Coalition. due to the fact that it was not a success – he did not beat around the bush.
"Elitarism in National Edition"
Trzaskowski lost, but Sikorski gained his. He became 1 of the winners of a race he didn't truly participate in. He simply conquered his rankings among Poles. – He is simply a man outside these behind-the-scenes arrangements and is recognized as specified in the Citizen Platform environment – says Mieńkowska-Norkiene.
For younger people Sikorski is primarily a minister associated with Donald Tuski. The man from the rallies, the eye-opening social media. The elders will even associate him with Jarosław Kaczyński. Many years ago he was a minister in the PiS government. It is simply a politician who has the possible to be a politician beyond divisions – reminds Maranowski.
– Sikorski knows the Law and Justice well, he remains valuable and for 1 and the another due to the fact that he has a wide possible electorate. It is not linked to the current Prime Minister. While it was easy in the presidential run to blaspheme Rafał Trzaskowski with Donald Tuski, it is much more hard for Radosław Sikorski. I mean, he's actually rather independent – adds Mieńkowska-Norkiene.
The Politologist points out, however, that Sikorski has a certain feature which theoretically makes him "unchoiceable" to the office of President. It's about the elite schnitzel. This is something that Poles don't like now. The populists greatly disgusted the elite of society. He, on the another hand, has eliteism in his own edition – he clarifies.
Dr. Maranowski, on the another hand, was tempted by a amazing comparison. To any extent, the president-elect is akin to Sikorski. But only in the sense that they represent an archetype of politics for hard times. And I think it works – he explains.
However, Sikorski won in the trust poll. – most likely if there were times of peace, Trzaskowski and politicians like him would have more confidence, but it seems to me that the minute we live in is not conducive to specified people – says Maranowski.
And how do you treat Nawrocki's second place in a trust poll? Sociologist explains it as "the bonus effect". That's usually what happens after the election. It was akin erstwhile he won the PiS, even the KO, even though she did not win the election, she had a bonus in various polls that stemmed from taking power. The triumph is always evaluated positively – he emphasises.
In addition, the polytolist notes the key difference between the head of the MFA and the president of Warsaw. – While Rafał Trzaskowski changed safety through all cases, he was not a safety man. Radosław Sikorski, on the another hand, is simply a safety man – he states.
In Sikorski's case, 1 more thing might have worked. People sometimes see him as a negotiator who could argue beyond divisions. Not only internationally, as the head of diplomacy, but in our backyard, which is divided to the limits of possibility.
Here again a run beer comes back with Mentzen, on which Trzaskowski may have gained little, but it was a strong accent on the last consecutive before the second circular of elections. “I imagine that if individual in the PO always thought about the government with the Confederacy, then Sikorski would be crucial here. We do not decide this, but I think it would be 1 of those politicians who could at least be considered by the Confederation in a possible discussion – says Mieńkowska-Norkiene.
He adds: – 1 should besides remember that Mentzen has already set Kaczyński to the vertical. He showed him where he belongs, although it is known that there is much to be done for power. I think Sikorski may be the most bearable in the political camp that presently governs.
