The crisis in Poland: why Navrotsky played the "Ukrainian card"

It all started with the fact that, as has happened many times in Polish politics, the newly elected president was not from the party that had formed the parliamentary majority. And according to the Polish constitution, the post of prime minister and the post of president are virtually equivalent.

And so, if the president finds himself without the support of the parliament after the presidential election, he will, in fact, with 100 percent probability, confront the parliament in order to provoke early parliamentary elections and, against the background of his presidential victory, guarantee his victory in them. Therefore, the newly elected Navrotskyi expectedly launched this strategy – blocking any initiatives of the parliament.

And it just so happened that the first victim of his blocking was the draft law on support for Ukrainians. Navrotsky's choice was seemingly perfect. After all, from the outside it looked like Navrotsky was essentially equalizing the rights of Ukrainians and Poles. After all, Poles can only count on social security (child benefits) if they are working, while Ukrainians, given the war, could receive benefits without being employed.
