“The past few weeks clearly demonstrate one thing: Donald Tusk’s coalition, instead of dealing with issues important to ordinary Poles, is focused on itself,” former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated on X.
The Deputy Chairman of Law and Justice (PiS), assessing the government’s recent period, delivers a harsh diagnosis. “Quarrels, chaos, a complete lack of vision – this has become everyday reality, increasingly poorly concealed by successive empty PR initiatives such as the ‘Year of Acceleration,’” he writes.
“Instead of stable governance, we have a conglomerate of circles united by a single goal: to prolong Donald Tusk’s hold on power for as long as possible, along with that of the coalition partners implicated in it,”
the former prime minister stated.
The Ruling Camp’s Priorities
As he adds, “the most significant dispute that has preoccupied the government for quite some time was not a dispute over the catastrophic situation in healthcare, a state paralyzed in the face of winter, or the wording of any legislation important to Poles.”
“No – the issue that so inflamed the coalition was whether one of its member parties would allow itself to be absorbed by Donald Tusk immediately and without resistance, or whether it would have to be broken up from within and destroyed with the help of ‘friendly’ media. And of course, who would take the seat of Deputy Prime Minister,”
he assessed, referring to the split within Poland 2050.
“At the same time, instead of protecting Polish workers from rising unemployment and mass layoffs, Donald Tusk is focused on defending just one job: that of the Marshal of the Sejm, entangled in Russian connections,” he wrote, referring to the case concerning the security vetting of Włodzimierz Czarzasty.
One Question
According to Morawiecki, Poles must ask themselves: “Can we currently afford a government of incompetents that is constantly preoccupied only with itself?”
As he stated, “Eight years of PiS governance constituted a Copernican revolution in Polish politics: we demonstrated what a government that keeps its word to voters can look like, a government that cares for the most vulnerable, and finally, a government with vision and ambition that wants Poland to grow stronger every day.”
“This is a legacy we need not be ashamed of and, at the same time, a promise we are making to Poles today: we will change this disastrous government of chaos and restore the state to the right track,”
he concluded.
