“The example of many issues today shows that Polish interests are not necessarily in the first place, and I am talking about the team that governs the country today,” said MP Zbigniew Bogucki on Telewizja wPolce24. The Law and Justice politician expressed hope that despite the sharp political dispute, similar to the one between the wars, the heads of individual groups in times of danger will be able to reach an agreement across divisions for the good of Poland.
In the most difficult moments, we can unite. This was shown by the crisis of the war in Ukraine, when we accepted real war refugees. I want to believe that in a situation of danger this will be the case and we will be able to unite. However, God grant that such a threat will never occur
– said MP Zbigniew Bogucki.

Oh, gather ’round, folks, because we have a delightful little political pickle here! It’s the classic tale of Polish politicians having a natter about national interests, while the nation is out there trying to make sense of life. MP Zbigniew Bogucki, a member of the Law and Justice party—because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t want a little ‘law and order’ in their political theatrics—was on Telewizja wPolce24 recently. You know, where all the best intellectual debates take place, nestled somewhere between advertisements for home plumbing repairs and last-minute furniture sales.
Now, Bogucki has taken it upon himself to point out that, shock horror, Polish interests might not be at the top of the agenda. Really? When did that revelation hit you, Zbigniew? Maybe around the same time you realized you can’t pay for your morning coffee with a hefty dose of political optimism? He makes a rather stirring point, saying he hopes against hope that our colorful heads of state find a way to hug it out in times of crisis—much like a group of five-year-olds sharing a toy during recess.
Let’s take a minute here and appreciate the irony. He’s essentially saying, “Hey, if something truly dreadful happens, like a literal war, maybe we’ll all band together!” Because that’s what we love—an “if… then” statement when it comes to the safety and unity of a country! That’s like saying, “If I ever meet a tiger in the wild, I’ll definitely try to pet it.” Sure, Zbigniew, that sounds like a plan!
He also brought up the Ukrainian crisis, where Poland opened its arms (and borders) to refugees—because nothing says “we stand in solidarity” like a good dose of humanitarianism when it’s needed! Who would have thought that helping your neighbors was a good idea? Well, well, well, kudos to you, politicians of Poland. Who knew self-interest could go hand-in-hand with altruism?
But let’s reflect on another gem from Bogucki: “However, God grant that such a threat will never occur.” So, there’s your wishful thinking, folks! It’s like wishing for a perpetual holiday while simultaneously running for mayor of a town that’s sinking. Here’s hoping Zbigniew’s prayers get answered because, quite frankly, if they don’t, we might need those emergency hugs he’s been daydreaming about!
On a delightful side note, there’s a report about the 106th anniversary of regaining independence with some pomp and circumstance (which we all appreciate)—and a shiny Order of the White Eagle awarded to prof. Legutko. Ah, nothing says “we did it” like a shiny medal. It’s the adult version of getting a gold star in kindergarten!
In conclusion, dear Polish politicians, while you’re busy negotiating your political chess game, remember the tiger we might have to pet someday. Just make sure you’re not trying to ride the beast while wearing a suit—that never ends well. And just for the casual onlookers, a lovely deal for an e-subscription has floated in.

How can political factions maintain unity after a crisis such as the influx of refugees, given the tendency for division in normal circumstances?
Borders to refugees, showcasing a moment of unity amidst chaos. But let’s be real—one crisis does not a consistent political alliance make.
**Interviewer:** Welcome, MP Zbigniew Bogucki! Thank you for joining us today. You recently mentioned that Polish interests seem to be overlooked by the current government. Can you elaborate on that?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** Thank you for having me. Yes, I believe that while we have pressing national interests, they are not always prioritized in today’s political discourse. It worries me that we as a nation might not be putting Poland first in critical decisions.
**Interviewer:** You also spoke about the hope for unity among political factions during crises. What gives you that hope?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** History shows us that in dire circumstances, like during the Ukrainian war, we can and do come together. We welcomed refugees, which was a testament to our shared humanity. I believe if a serious threat were to arise, our leaders would recognize the importance of collaboration for the country’s welfare.
**Interviewer:** It’s true that past crises have sometimes brought politicians together. But do you think this unity is sustainable?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** That’s the challenge, isn’t it? The unity we see in crises often fades when normalcy returns. To maintain that cooperation, we need strong dialogue and a genuine commitment to prioritize Poland’s interests over party politics.
**Interviewer:** With the current political climate being as divided as it is, what would you suggest as a starting point for fostering this dialogue?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** I think we need open forums where different political groups can meet and discuss not just issues, but share ideas on how to move forward collectively. Personal relationships are key, and breaking down barriers will require effort from all sides.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, MP Bogucki, for your insights. It seems that while the road to unity may be challenging, it’s a conversation worth having.
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** Absolutely, thank you for having me. Let’s hope that if another crisis hits, we can rise above our differences for the sake of our nation.
**Interviewer:** A hopeful note to end on! Thank you again for your time.
