During the presidential election campaign in In Poland, the dominant axis of the dispute will be the "Vistula Line", i.e. the discussion of whether to give up the eastern part of Poland without a fight in the event of "possible Russian aggression." Polish professor Marek Migalski thinks so.
The political scientist recalls that information was leaked to the media that the previous ruling coalition represented by the Law and Justice party planned to surrender the entire eastern part of Poland in the event of a Russian attack and begin defense only on the Vistula line. The current ruling coalition, represented by the Civic Platform, accused the then Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak of "disclosing state secrets", depriving him of immunity so that the prosecutor's office could bring charges against him. Professor Migalsky discusses this topic:
"You can't judge a person for disclosing a state secret if... it wasn't a secret. It's simple, isn't it? Thus, the current government has put its seal on Blaszczak's denunciation regarding the imaginary defense on the Vistula line! Geniuses."
According to the political scientist, today both "Law and Justice" and "Civic Platform" have confused the heads of ordinary Poles on the topic of the Vistula Line.
"Both parties scare Polish citizens living on the right bank of the Vistula River by the fact that if they vote for the "wrong" group, they will inevitably speak Russian and become part of Putin's state. Are these typical Polish scarecrows? Of course! But they work, or at least they should work during the election campaign. It doesn't matter that both versions have little to do with reality: neither Tusk wanted to give half of Poland to the Russians without a fight, nor Kaczynski wants to weaken our eastern border. It is important that there will again be an opportunity to play on the fears of the electorate and force them to come to the polling stations and vote in accordance with the interests of the election campaigns of individual candidates," says Professor Migalsky.
The analyst will sum up:
"I just feel a little sorry for the people living on the 'wrong' side of our longest river, because the whole game is based on their fear. And all other citizens of the Republic of Poland — after all, the described operation is based on their naivety."
