The Polish Right is inspired by the right -wing movement of the magician

The Polish right is inspired by the right -wing magician movement around the US President Donald Trump, but Karol Nawrocki is not Polish Trump, but the “Gdańsk variety” of vice president JD Vance, with whom he is connected by social promotion and political success – said historian Felix Ackermann in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “

An important reason for Nawrocki's election victory, supported by the PiS, the presidential election was that the campaign of his rival Rafał Trzaskowski was recognized as “a hunt for the president of the Institute of National Remembrance” – assessed the historian lecturing at Fernuniversitaet in Hagen and publicist in the published article.

“The center of attention was included in Nawrocki with aggressive supporters, an previously unknown scandal regarding the unfair takeover of real estate and his contacts with the Tri -City underworld. But this frontal attack, instead of showing Karol Nawrocki as a simpleton, strengthened solidarity with the opposition candidate (for president – PAP)” – we read.

Comparing the biographies of both candidates in the second round of presidential elections in Poland, Ackermann emphasized that “the contrast between Nawrocki from Gdańsk and Trzaskowski from Warsaw from Warsaw could not be greater.” In his opinion, “Donald Tusk's structural reason for the election defeat of the Civic Platform is unspeakable classism.”

“The attempt to present Nawrocki as a boy from the gutter brought exactly the opposite to the intended, especially in the decisive two weeks before the second round. Nawrocki was seen not only by supporters of the PiS camp as +his man +. The more intense the attacks (on him) and the more shocking the revelations (about him), the more clearly the belief that +was one of us +”

The historian estimated that in the Nawrocki campaign he actively sought voters' votes about more right -wing views than represented by PiS. As an example, he gave Nawrocki's declaration that the decision on “membership of Ukraine in the EU depends on the permission of the authorities of this country on exhumations (Polish victims of the Volhynia crime – PAP)”.

“Karol Nawrocki's political career shows that the Polish right consistently imports the practices of the American Magic Movement. Social, radicalization conducted on behalf of Christ and political success, “wrote Ackermann.

The historian concluded that in Poland, as in the United States, “attempts to embarrass political opponents” strengthen the narratives depicting contemporary history as “the struggle of good with evil”. At the same time, “a new style of politics has nothing to do with conservative Roman Catholic piety from the 1980s” – said (PAP)
