  • Elections: Poland celebrates the first EU presidential elections in times of pandemic

Poland celebrates this Sunday the second round of a presidential election that will set the course for the country in the next five years. The choice is between the continuity represented by the current head of state, the ultra-conservative Andrzej Duda, and the change that would mean a victory for the mayor of Warsaw, the liberal Rafal Trzaskowski, in the relations between the Government and the Presidency .

Although Duda was the undisputed winner of the first round and has the support of the government apparatus, dominated by the Law and Justice Party (PiS), the polls do not assure him of victory, such has been the push received by Trzaskowski in recent years. weeks to his motto "Enough is enough" . Matched in the polls but ideologically antagonistic, this second round of the presidential elections is more than a step through the ballot box.

A polarized society

Poland is deeply divided and what will be seen today is a pulse between two country models. A well-known Catholic priest, Tadeusz Rydzyk , founder of Radio Maryja, has even spoken of a war of civilizations. "In Europe, Poland is an island of religion that protects the natural law and the law of God. On Sunday we will choose between Latin civilization and anti-civilization, between white and red (for its flag) and left-wing liberalism with all its consequences: anti-culture, unethical, the fight against God and the normal family, "said Rydzyk.

For the priest, who uses a language very similar to that of the PiS Trzaskowski is practically the Antichrist . And not only because he refuses to allow Poland to continue living as Diogenes, isolated in a barrel, but because he has invited all LGTBI groups to come out of the closet and fight for their rights, from marriage to adoption.

Polished and modern image

Duda and Trzaskowski have more in common than the year of birth, which places them in the generation that came of age with the fall of the communist regime and became involved in politics much later: both seek to convey a polished and modern image thanks to careful communication in detail.

The constitutional powers of the head of state in Poland are limited, but a clash between this institution and the government when it comes to signing laws can greatly reduce the already dense political environment. Cohabiting with the PiS in the event of winning Trzaskowski would not be easy, but it will mark a new beginning.
