What consequences could the case of MP Romanowski have for the presidential campaign in Poland? What next for the Left after Wieczorek's resignation? Will the crisis over the National Electoral Commission and the National Electoral Commission blow up the elections in Poland? These are the topics of the new episode of the podcast "Polityczne Michałki" In the latest episode, Michał Szułdrzyński and Michał Kolanko analyze the key events of the past week. . The main topics are Marcin Romanowski's political asylum in Hungary, the resignation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education, and the legal turmoil surrounding the National Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court. We examine how these events affect the balance of power in the government, the presidential campaign, and Poland's relations with its neighbors and the European Union. Escape to Hungary - a geopolitical storm Marcin Romanowski, former Secretary of State in the Ministry of Justice, requested political asylum in Hungary, which brought the Justice Fund scandal to the international arena. - This is no longer just our internal matter, but a geopolitical problem that connects Romanowski's escape with Viktor Orbán's pro-Russian policy - said Szułdrzyński. This move has aroused enormous interest in social media - the topic has reached a reach of over 100 million mentions. - Timing is key - indicates the interlocutor - this topic will certainly end up on Christmas tables, influencing the political narrative - said Michał Kolanko. The matter is a serious political problem for PiS. - The entire PiS is paying the price today for the Justice Fund scandal, from which it really got nothing - the funds mainly served Solidarna, and then Sovereign Poland - notes Szułdrzyński. A bitter moment for the Left The resignation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education, although initially dominating the media, was quickly overshadowed by the issue of Romanowski's asylum. - This is the first such serious shock in the government since its formation - says Kolanko. Analyzing the tensions within the left, the growing tensions between generations and the impact of the scandal on the image of the parties in the government coalition were pointed out. - It is a bitter time for the left. Minister Wieczorek's resignation not only took away the momentum of Magdalena Biejat's campaign, but also deepened the internal tensions - said Kolanko. Election campaign in the shadow of crises A topic that may have a serious impact on the presidential election is the crisis surrounding the National Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court. - PiS, sounding the alarm, is not credible here, because it cooked this bigos by creating the current legal structure - said Szułdrzyński. Commentators also mentioned the political initiative of Szymon Hołownia, who proposed an "incidental act" that is to remove this problem from the board.
