“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.

What underlying factors contribute to the emergence of political unity during a refugee crisis, and how can these be replicated in peacetime?
Borders to war refugees, which is commendable, yet it raises the question: why does it take a crisis for unity to emerge? Let’s dig deeper into this perspective.
**Interview:**
**Host:** Welcome, MP Zbigniew Bogucki! Thank you for joining us today. Let’s dive right in. You highlighted concerns regarding Polish interests not being prioritized. What do you think are the main reasons behind this disconnect?
**Bogucki:** Thank you for having me. The political landscape has become increasingly polarized, and sometimes party loyalty can overshadow national interests. It’s essential that we remember our responsibility to the public, especially in challenging times.
**Host:** You mentioned the hope for political unity in times of crisis. Given the current political climate, do you genuinely believe that different parties can come together when it really matters?
**Bogucki:** I have faith that in moments of genuine danger, like during the war in Ukraine, we can indeed unite. History has shown us that shared threats can lead to cooperation. However, it’s crucial that we foster an atmosphere of collaboration long before a crisis hits.
**Host:** Speaking of collaboration, you referenced how Poland handled the influx of Ukrainian refugees. What lessons can we draw from that experience, and how should it shape our approach to national unity moving forward?
**Bogucki:** The response to the refugee crisis demonstrated our capacity for compassion and solidarity. It also highlighted the importance of having robust systems in place for crisis management that can be activated swiftly. We need to apply those lessons to our domestic politics—unity does not have to stem from disasters.
**Host:** That’s an interesting point. do you think Polish citizens feel represented by their leaders amid all this political drama?
**Bogucki:** I believe many feel frustrated and disillusioned. They want to see decisive leadership focused on their needs rather than political squabbles. It’s our duty to earn their trust by prioritizing Poland’s long-term interests over short-term gains.
**Host:** Thank you, MP Bogucki, for sharing your insights. Navigating these political waters is tricky, but open dialogue is a step in the right direction.
**Bogucki:** Thank you for having me. I remain hopeful that we can rise above our divisions for the greater good of Poland.
