Sunday is not a good day at mobilizing. I particularly like is warm, and cycling and walking seem to be unbeatable. Nothing could be further from the truth. For more than an hour before the start, the founding congress of a new political initiative NowoczesnaPL, the country’s economic commentator on duty, hundreds of people dutifully waited until they open the gates before them Torwar and will start mass changes, a better tomorrow, hope for a new, celebrated by Ryszard Petru. Later, hundreds miraculously multiplied into thousands and noon … it began.
It was just as it should be – modern. She picked up the music, lots of lights and blue. For each bottle of water, if emotions warmed too much, and my throat dried up from the applause and the band on hand as at a music festival.
Organisation – professionalism, everyone feels needed, involved and hopes that it will be heard . At a special wall paper and you can stick to complain itself on the system power, the state and what happens there who pinches. There was a lot of criticism “old” party, pension, benefits of various social groups, whispering to high taxes and social insurance bloodthirsty. Fiskus kills entrepreneurship, the government is worried only about ourselves and as we know from the time of Jerzy Urban has everything somewhere, because and so it will feed.
Ryszard Petru could expect, what winds up his supporters, so did not learn anything new. The demands and complaints also were not particularly revealing and rather are a litany of spanking a long time by everyone, regardless of whether they have their hearts in the right or left. We all learned, however, that there is a large group of people who wants something more than hot water in the tap. Besides founding father himself called it aptly: “hot water in the taps is also in Kiev and so what?”. Ryszard Petru, therefore, wants to bring this water to a boil.
So far only counted followers, because certainly no one entertained any economic or political program. The more that the common denominator of all present was primarily a desire to change. What? Here, opinion is divided, it is certain only that fast.
Paul Kukiz the first to notice that the political pendulum swung so hard that you can think of to stop the duopoly PO and PiS. Ryszard Petru on Sunday gave further proof that 20 percent. rock star score in the first round of presidential elections is not an anomaly.
Do not party, but people
The Economist has invited several guests to speak at the congress NowoczesnaPL. No politicians, activists or other assets of the party. Same success story: Rafal Brzoska, the entrepreneur who threw down the gauntlet to state moloch of the Polish Post, Anna Aseńko, a young lady surgeon or Vadim Tyszkiewicz, super-local government, the president Nowa Sol, who does not know what is the second round of local elections. All under the common denominator – time for a new one.
At the end of the creme de la creme, or sermon, after which came all. Speech was smooth, well packaged, tanned and smiling – as he Ryszard Petru. Safety soft blend of populism – the abolition of party financing from the budget or vote via the Internet and skillful reading people’s expectations – end professional politicians and a maximum of two terms of office for members, the restoration of economic freedom, participatory budgeting or matching education to the labor market. Only a few specifics.
Petru tucked deep in the garage neo-liberal banner and builds from scratch himself. Not standing next to him the patron saint of intellectual Leszek Balcerowicz, he does not say that the Parliament has already started with the letter of the Freedom Union and not playing overly theme funds. The capital already has recognition and a credit of trust was enlisted. For many, the advantage will be that it is not an anarchist as Paul Kukiz, who first wants to make chaos, and only later to see if something will emerge from it. Petru wants to base its ambition social movement, not a disappointment.
The electorate writes the
Ironically, all now go into the elections with the old slogan Self-Defense: They already they were! They cheated! They have to go! Saying, however, that threatens NowoczesnaPL just nonsense. It threatens those who believe that Poles want to only eat sausage. It’s not true. Ambitions have long sushi, seafood and Argentinean steaks, and even crowd of vegetarians is growing. So the ground as long as it is no longer fondest dream, and only what people want to fill their bellies.
We do not know exactly who they are his potential voters. Say that it is young people from big cities, it’s nothing to say. It is certain, however, who did not vote for him: and all pensioners whose feeding state privileges – from the miner, the teacher, the farmer.
This is still a majority of voters, thus exceeding 5 percent. threshold that guarantees a place in the Sejm, will be a big challenge. Is real? It will turn out as we will see a real program, not a fantasy about change in the system or phrases that the economy must be based on knowledge. The program, the structure of the association (party?) Are to forge the run. Ryszard Petru moves in pilgrimage around the country and to meet with supporters. It is from them is to know what will be the program for the autumn elections.
The Way NowoczesnaPLwybrała good, the method also looks interesting, word ECI has a chance to return to its original meaning. Whatever you can today get Ryszard Petru is probably the only kind interest. It’s hard to be anything to support people when program consists of generalities smaller and larger, more reasonable and more naive. Perhaps, though, to win just build the same positive emotions, and starting a campaign will be the first in which you will not need to have anything in the image and likeness electoral program.
One thing is certain – someone new leaped on wave. The question is whether over the water, barely on the surface or landing location victoriously to the shore.
