Hypocrisy, finagling and foot-in-mouth disease of Poland's "noble" opposition [13]
Merged:
Political genius Kaczyński pushes opposition into own-goal zone
Poland's impotent, frustrated "total(ly hare-brained) opposition" haven't a clue what to do next since all their protests and ruses have come to naught. Some observers see political genius Kaczyński pulling the right strings behind the scenes and causing the opposition to make fools of themselves:
**To bloat the crowds at their street-pounding circuses the opposition have ended up attracting and marching arm in arm with PRL-era secret police agents.
**The clueless Kijowski actually praised the SB saying they have made the country safe for people.
**The oppositon have repeated SB demands that the IPN should be liquidated.
**With horns, whistles and chants they have disrupted patriotic anniversaries, historical commemorations and heroes' funerals, referred to doomed soldiers as "bandits" and otherwise tried to discredit Polish patriotism.
** They also want to liquidate the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA), showing themselves to be on the side of crooks, tax cheats and other scamsters.
** They oppose the school reform although none other than the ZNP (teachers' union) was fiercely opposed to the introduction of middle schools in the first place. That shows voters that the opposition is only about one thing: calling for the opposite of the PiS programme but having nothing meaningful of their own to offer.
**A feminist activist was asked what women would be fighting for on 8th March this year and replied: "Well, er, um, I mean, that is.." and finally blurted out "the ban on in vitro". The TV interviewer replied: "There is no ban on in vitro only that it isn't being bankrolled from my taxes."
**Most everyone who has dealt with Poland's cumbersome court system is well aware of the bureaucracy, prolonged delays and under-the-table gratuities. The opposition are banging on about independent judges while ordinary Poles wonder if that means independently corrupt, on the take or in the pocket of big local entrepreneurs.
**As such, the so-called total opposition have played right into the hands of Kaczyński who can only chuckle at their bumbling shenanigans, impotent fury and back-firing schemes.
