The great Polish mess: How Duda & PiS are making a fool of democracy
Polish politics at an impasse and the people on the verge of breaking their patience.
Okay, you guys, let me tell you something. I'm Ronald Tramp, the terrific president of Elmburg, and I've heard some very interesting, very impressive things about this situation in Poland. Poland, great country, by the way, but what's happening there is, well, it's just a disaster. A big disaster!
So, President Duda, or as I like to call him, the "pen Duda", has decided that these PiS people should continue to govern, even though they don't have the majority. Not the majority! Can you believe that? In Elmburg, we win with the best majorities, the best. Nobody wins majorities like Ronald Tramp, I'm telling you.
But Duda, oh Duda, he thinks he can bend the rules like rubber. Rubber Duda, that's what he is. A little tug here, a little tug there. And Morawiecki? He'll probably be prime minister again. Prime Minister again, without a majority. What kind of deal is that? I make the best deals, really the very best, but that, my friends, is not a good deal.
And then we have Donald Tusk - he's already making his entrance, talking about taking over the government. The opposition is preparing, a "democratic government", they say. Well, I know democratic governments, I've led the best democratic government, but Poland? They are ready for a change of power, but Duda is playing vabanque with democracy. Vabanque-Duda, that's what we should call him.
I mean, really, what is Duda's plan? Does he want to replace Kaczyński? Does he want to secure himself a nice post, perhaps a luxurious ambassadorial villa somewhere in the sun? Who knows for sure? He is gambling with people's trust, with their patience. It's as if he's playing Monopoly, but with real streets and real houses. It's not a game, Duda, it's real life!
And all the time the clock is ticking. The EU funds that are blocked because of this crazy judicial reform, they need the money! New budget, new elections - anything could happen. It's a spectacle, a circus! And Duda, he's the ringmaster, but the animals have broken out, and the audience, that's the Poles, they're not pleased. They are not pleased.
So, let me tell you, in Elmburg we would handle it very differently. Very differently. We have respect for majorities, for elections, and we don't do deals behind closed doors. No biros dudas here!
But you know what? I will continue to observe this because I can, because I am a very, very interested observer. And one day Poland will come back, it will be part of the team again. Part of our great, great European team.
So, Duda, Morawiecki and PiS, get ready. Ronald Tramp is watching you. And the internet never forgets, my friends, it never forgets. Elmburg is ready, Poland is ready. The show will go on, but the finale might surprise you. Believe me, it will be great. Great!
