Poles laughed at the Prime Minister's slip that his party is in danger of staying in power

On the Internet, they are jokingly asking if the prime minister has returned to the team of his former boss, former prime minister and now main opposition leader Donald Tusk, as a reminder that at one time Morawiecki, as the head of a large Polish bank, was one of Tusk's economic advisers when he was prime minister.

Since this morning, Poles on social networks have been amused by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's slip, who at a press conference warned most seriously of the danger of his Pravo i Pravda party returning to power in the regular parliamentary elections on October 15.

"We want to remind you of our attitude towards Russia. We want to remind you how great the danger is the return of the Prav and Pravda governments to power. The importance of those elections is enormous," said Prime Minister Morawiecki today, talking about the plans to directly target 10 million undecided people out of 30 with leaflets in the campaign. million Polish voters.

"He told the truth for the first time" or "I agree with the prime minister for the first time", are the most common comments of opposition politicians and Poles on social networks.

On the Internet, they are jokingly asking if the prime minister has returned to the team of his former boss, former prime minister and now main opposition leader Donald Tusk, as a reminder that at one time Morawiecki, as the head of a large Polish bank, was one of Tusk's economic advisers when he was prime minister.

Donald Tusk reacted ironically briefly - "what a creep".

The head of Prime Minister Morawiecki's party, the leader of the Pravo i Pravda party, Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslav Kaczynski openly said that the main goal of the campaign is to explain to the voters what it would mean for them if the Polish liberal opposition, led by Tuska, comes to power again after eight years.

"We intensified the campaign and decided to explain to the voters, in addition to our achievements, how it would be for them if the Tusk team returned to power. Some no longer remember those times, there are many young people who cannot remember what it was like. We want to show what losses Poland has suffered due to the two mandates of their government," Kacinjski said today in an interview with the pro-government weekly Gazeta Polska.

Although Kaczynski and the ruling party completely control the state television TVP, Polish Radio and the national news agency PAP, the local media network bought by the state-owned petrochemical giant Orlen and supported by the powerful Catholic television Trvam and the second largest private television Polsat, Kaczynski complained in the interview that the opposition dominates in the media, which is their mouthpiece in the campaign.

Until now, all attempts by Kaczynski and his party to take over the most influential private television with a national frequency TVN and its news channel TVN24 have been thwarted by the American administration, either during the time of President Donald Trump or now during the time of President Joseph Biden with warnings that the USA will also defend freedom media and TVN as one of its largest foreign investments in Poland.

In addition to TVN, the Polish opposition can also count on space on the Onet news portal and the two most influential Polish dailies - Gazeta Viborča and Žečpospolit.

Opinion polls show that the ruling right-wing party of Kačinjski still has the most support, but the outcome of the election will most likely be decided by an unusually high percentage of undecided voters.
