A year and a half of rule by Tusk’s political circle should have taught us one thing: there is no form of lawlessness this team would not be willing to engage in — writes Katarzyna Gójska in Gazeta Polska.
An assault on the elections is underway. And the perpetrator is not just Giertych, the saboteur of public life, but above all, the head of government, who is orchestrating this scheme of unprecedented scale and brazenness. This will not end with the decision of the Supreme Court — it will take various forms up until the day the new head of state is sworn in. We can be certain there will be attempts to block that event.
Currently, the prevailing opinion is that Tusk and his political allies are convinced this will not yield the results they hope for. That the aim of sabotaging the democratic verdict of the Polish people is to distract from crimes committed during the election campaign. To some extent, that is likely true.
However, a year and a half of Tusk’s political faction in power should have taught us one thing: there is no form of illegality this team would not dare commit. The leader of the Civic Platform is now preparing for the next stage of destroying our public life. He will take every measure to prevent the swearing-in of the new head of state, and if that fails, he will violate the Constitution by claiming that Poland does not have a legally elected president.
This destruction will end in the defeat of the current ruling camp, but unfortunately, it will also have tragic consequences for our country. After Tusk, Poland will need to be raised from the ruins of lawlessness. In fact, it will need to be rebuilt from scratch, as the current governing principle in the realm of prosecution and justice is the disregard for the law.
This immense challenge will now largely fall to President Karol Nawrocki. He will first have to face Tusk’s frenzied destruction, and then take on the burden of rebuilding the most vital institutions of the state.
