Gently put, politicians of the civilian Coalition are not delighted with what Deputy Marshal Piotr Zgorzelski does. “I will not quote what we say about the PSL, especially in specified circumstances,” he says in his interview with an experienced MP of the Civic Platform. “You can’t even quote it without a name,” she adds.
KO politicians misreceived Zgorzelski's entry on the coalition with the Confederacy
The offer of Deputy Marshal Zgorzelski for the far right is evidence for politicians of the celebrated turnover of the Polish People's Party, which after 1989 co-ordinated with groups from the full spectrum of the political scene. The entry – they say – is not random. They see calculated probery, ground preparation, the release of test balloons. "Dreams of uppers," as writer Monika Olejnik called it.
And while officially Zgorzelski received from Confederates the X answer that young people utilized about 15 years ago ("We don't want anything from Avon"), the question of whether a coalition with the Confederate is possible began to live their lives. Would the coalition's largest formation on October 15, the KOs, be ready to sit side by side with Confederate politicians in the Sejm in 2027? Or is that completely out of the question?
Alliance of civilian Coalition with the Confederate – is simply a common government possible? Value issue
Politicians of the Civic Coalition, with whom we are talking, until they flinch at the imagination of the GO – Confederate government. – This is absolutely impossible to approach the substance fundamentalally. We have totally different strategical goals and values. We are completely different from many areas of social life, as Mr KO tells us. He besides adds that as an entrepreneur he cannot perceive to the "fool that Confederates talk about the economy".
But his clubmate already sees the economy as a plane on which KO could deal with Confederates. “The liberal economical views of the Confederacy coincide with the core of the Civic Platform. To this day, the free marketplace is simply a key issue for many of our Members – it explains in an interview with the subject.
I'm gonna start her clubmate. In his opinion, "The Civic Coalition slept through pandemic time, did not go out in front of entrepreneurs", and the Confederacy kept her hand on the pulse. “The economy is the area where we can talk and cooperate. I stress: talk and cooperate, do not enter the coalition – he says.
However, there are KOs and those for whom even specified cooperation with the Confederacy would be going besides far. – Confederates can be interacted with in very small, circumstantial issues, specified as amendments to laws. Nothing more – the politician of the camp of power tells us. The imagination of the government's coalition with the Confederacy raises his strong opposition. "This script does not appear in my conversations with another Members. But if he did, I will not be in specified a coalition," he firmly declares.
The list of things that disturb KO politicians in fellow Confederates is very long. Among them are "pseudotriotism", "putinian approach to LGBT people", "wanting to put Poles in jail for abortion" or "how they behave". How the chorus and practically the same words members of the Civic Coalition asked about the common government with Mentzen and Bosak answer: "I can't imagine it.
Government of the Coalition with the Confederacy. Reality
However, it is adequate to choice up a small bit and it turns out that the imagination of politicians is plastic, even if the visualization that he brings up is not pleasant.
When we present the script from the entry of Piotr Zgorzelski to our KO interlocutors – that is, the situation erstwhile after the 2027 election there is simply a coalition with the Confederate or the PiS regulation – most of our interlocutors reluctantly admit that an alliance with Mentzen is possible.
“I am far from saying that this will never happen in life,” says the associate of the Civic Coalition, for which the precedence is to keep Jarosław Kaczyński in the benches of the opposition.
In her opinion, a common government with the Confederation would be "minor evil" than the next word of the regulation of law and justice. – I remember erstwhile in 2016 the Law and Justice came through the Sejm like a ram to dismantle the Constitutional Court and the regulation of law. If they had taken power again, they would have gone even further. We cannot let this to happen – he states.
Another person: – I must admit that in the event of a threat to the Law and Justice governments it would be little harmful for Poland to enter into a coalition with the Confederation.
All our interlocutors state that co-regulation with Confederates would be very hard for them not only on a political but besides human level. How would specified a majority of parliament work? How are we expected to compose bill designs together? Talk to people who are not curious in dialogue? – 1 individual wonders out loud. However, she, too, faced with a choice – the governments of the Law and Justice or an alliance of KOs with the Confederacy – would choose the latter.
– The most crucial thing is the interest of Poland, and he requires that the Law and Justice organization be blocked. Otherwise, we are facing the concreteisation of the Kaczyński Agreement, which, after winning the 2015 elections, did not even cover that its goal is to change the state's system. If he'd gotten another 4 years, he'd have done his job. In specified a situation, a coalition with the Confederation would be necessary. The end justifies the means – he evaluates.
– I hope we do not face a choice: the Law and Justice or the Confederation. However, if that were the case, anything is possible, nothing is excluded – another associate of the KO declares.
One of the KO MPs has another idea. “If we deficiency votes to the majority, then we must drag sensible Confederates to the KO alternatively than fraternize with the Confederate. Contrary to appearances, there are those who can listen, not just scream. Under the influence of arguments, they even change their head – he says.
Confederate Prime Minister, or (no) political-fiction
From our talks with the Members of the KO it is clear that they were enraged not by the script presented by Piotr Zgorzelski, but by the fact that the Deputy Marshal spoke loudly about him in the first half of the term, weakening the position of the camp of power. In one, everyone agrees with him – "two years in politics is just an era".
– If what's going to happen in 2 years, it's a luck teller. It is not known what will happen in Poland and in the planet during this time. If the Russian war were to end negatively for Ukraine, there would be fresh dividing lines. And there are many more issues that can change the political scenery – 1 individual tells us.
The talk of concessions that the KO would be willing to go to, for example the imagination of the Confederate Prime Minister, describes as political-fiction, and refuses to interfere.
However, not all share her opinion. "It didn't even come to my mind... but if we were under the wall, the Confederacy would surely request the position of Prime Minister," admits a somewhat shaken MP of the Civic Coalition.
– People would not forgive us – there is no uncertainty a politician, a frozen imagination of Prime Minister Mentzen or Wipler. But they wouldn't forgive us for our next PiS term. There are no good solutions here. It's a choice between plague and cholera – he's bitterly judging.
Several people stress that there are inactive more than 24 months left to work hard to win the democratic camp, which will give it the majority again, so that rotten compromises are not necessary. “We gotta do our best, and we can only hope that that is enough. Everything is in the hands of voters – he concludes.
