Professor Antoni Dudek on the cover of his book "Politic past of Poland 1989-2012" placed a photograph of Jarosław Kaczyński and Donald Tusk. Dudek rightly felt that the conflict of these 2 people defined the period of systemic transformation in Poland to the top extent, perfectly overshadowing even the dispute – Kwasniewski, which was very hot but short-lived.
However, the photograph is double confusing
The 2 gentlemen, standing in the seismic corridor, are rather sympathetic to each another – let's make an agreement – alternatively does not reflect the nature of their relationship. It is besides confusing due to the fact that it illustrates the description of their conflict in mainly the first 20 years of transformation, while, as we already know, the continuation of this war was no less, but even more intense.
The first act of the Kaczyński War – Tusk is simply a dispute over mirrors and the Olszewski government in 1992. Tusk was not a little ardent anti-communist than Kaczyński, if any more, but it was then a dispute not about communists or agents, but about the political method and about Wałęsa, which Kaczyński wanted to de facto overthrow, and Tusk sustained.
The next act of this chapter of the battalion was the 1995 presidential election, in which Tusk supported Walesa, and Kaczyński Kwasniewski, whose triumph celebrated, as he himself spoke. In the beginning of the next century, 2 parties created at its beginning, the Tusk Platform and the Kaczyński PiS, wanted to feed on the corpse of the falling previously powerful SLD and fill the resulting power vacuum. At that time, the concept of the COPIS was born, which was not abstract, due to the fact that both groups were more or little right-wing, plus between 1900 and 1992, the earlier parties of Kaczyński and Tusk, the Centre Agreement and the Liberal-Democratic legislature were in an informal alliance.
However, after Tusk's losses to Lech Kaczyński's presidential election in October 2005 and lost at the same time by the PO to the PiS parliamentary election, it shortly turned out that there would be no POP or much more show, and both parties did not just want to get married but even go to bed.
The affair ended (love never was) and as it happens after the breakups, the war began. Kaczyński took all power, had the government and the president, and a year later he and his brother formed a duplicate p.m. duo – the President, but, as he did, decided to finish off his coalitionists, Lepper and Giertych, lost most in the parliament and needed fresh elections. PO and PiS went head to head in polls, precisely until October 12, 2007, erstwhile Tusk demolished Kaczyński in an hour's debate and marched to election victory. Kaczyński lost power in the election and face in the debate.
Since then, he has no desire to debate with Tusk. The failure of power and face exacerbated the conflict between both politicians, but it was still, even though hard and full of bad emotions, it was a political battle. This changed in April 2010. Kaczyński may have turned the disaster into an assassination, and Tuska may have placed a large part of his work for his brother's death.
Both politicians' aversion turned into hatred, and political clashes into war to death. In 2014, Kaczyński helped to overthrow Tusk's crew. Tusk himself left for Brussels shortly after, and a year later Kaczyński again took all the power, had the president and the government, and since he was never able to control his greed for power, he decided to de facto change the state's system.
Kaczyński ruled Poland like a king or a dictator, and would most likely regulation further if the only man who could deprive him of power had not returned from Brussels. And, as we all remember, he did. Many, including, I admit, thought Kaczyński was finished and would not emergence from defeat. There were presidential elections on the horizon, but it was reasonably common for a candidate to think that the KO would eat out of momentum, allowing Tusk to complete the revolution 2 years ago. What happened next, we know, due to the fact that we remember, although we'd alternatively forget about it quickly. The election was won by a man from nowhere, who in a minute will not be the greatest, but formally the most crucial adversary of Tusk.
Tusk remains the strongest politician in the country, but the fresh president, the anti-state opposition to a large extent, and 1 of the coalitionists, will do anything to overthrow his government, and his very premiere will be stripped. This could mean his political end and his retirement, had it not been that—as we have already seen—the past of this war would not end, no end is definitive, no triumph is full, and no final defeat.
A fresh component of this communicative is the fresh president. It seems rather likely that he will wage war on 2 fronts – on the state plan with Tusk, and on the organization plan for leadership on the right, in which most likely the people of the elect, Czarnek and Kurski will be very intensively assisted, the first of which would like to be the fresh leader of the Polish right hand and the second fresh Prime Minister.
It's hard to tell how both wars will end and even more violent. It cannot even be completely excluded that at any point Tusk and Kaczyński will have the same enemy if not in common. Friends or allies will not, of course, make them, but may sometimes be inclined to look with any sympathy on the struggles of the gym guest by the latter. Or at least relieved that the another guy's war with the gym guy is taking it easy for a while.
The past of the 35-year-old war will end, of course, but it lies, who says he knows erstwhile and how. To be continued. That's all we know, so let's make a small deal.
