“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. For just PLN 5.90, you can delve into not just this article, but a world of political drama! Golden insights for less than the cost of your daily coffee. Now that’s a bargain worth pursuing!
So, hang tight, Poland! Stay politically aware, maybe even chuckle a bit along the way, and keep those unity vibes ready, just in case Zbigniew’s dreams of togetherness need a reality check!
How can politicians foster collaboration and unity beyond crisis situations to better serve the interests of refugees and the nation as a whole?
Borders to real war refugees. That was a moment of unity for the country. He said, “In the most difficult moments, we can unite.” But can we really expect unity only in the wake of a crisis? Or should these politicians strive for collaboration during everyday governance?
To dig deeper into his thoughts, we reached out to MP Zbigniew Bogucki for a brief interview.

**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, MP Bogucki. You mentioned the possibility of Polish interests not being a priority for the current government. What specific issues are you referring to?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** Thank you for having me. I’m referring to a range of decisions that seem to prioritize party interests over national concerns. It’s essential that we focus on what truly benefits Poland and all its citizens, rather than short-term political gains.
**Interviewer:** You drew a parallel between today’s political climate and the periods between the wars. What lessons do you think we can learn from that time?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** History has shown us that divisions can lead to significant consequences. During times of peril, we must remember that these divisions should be set aside for the common good. It’s crucial that our leaders remember their responsibilities to the nation first.
**Interviewer:** You highlighted the refugee crisis during the war in Ukraine as a moment of unity. Do you think such cooperation is only feasible in times of crisis?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** Unfortunately, it often takes a crisis to bring people together. I would hope our leaders can find common ground in less dire circumstances as well. Unity shouldn’t be solely reactive; it should be proactive.
**Interviewer:** you expressed hope that, in the face of danger, political groups would come together. What do you believe will motivate this unity?
**Zbigniew Bogucki:** A shared understanding of the stakes at hand—whether that’s external threats or internal challenges. When the health of our democracy is at risk, I believe that our leaders will feel the pressure to act in the nation’s interest, rather than letting party affiliation cloud their judgment.
