It's all clear! We know who the next four years will take important decisions for the city, sitting in chairs in the Debating Chamber of the City of Krakow. This is not a surprise to me. The reins of government in the council will hold the council Platform Citizenship. I want to believe that the vast majority of them will be able to rise above partisan bickering and work for the good of Krakow, because being a councilor is a great responsibility. I want to believe it, but the current findings do not fill me with optimism.
easier we say that, far from the policy of building bridges, roads and fields, than in practice to do it. Contrary to previous announcements, just before the elections, we saw that the temptation upartyjnienia government prevailed. To Krakow suddenly started sliding down the pilgrimage from Warsaw to express their support for party candidate for the office of mayor of the city. He arrived the same Prime Minister Donald Tusk, to put the other municipalities as a model for managing Niepołomice and - as I understand it - to convince us that Krakow under the rule chosen by the Civic Platform candidate would inevitably become drugimi Niepołomice.
Let us, before the second round of voting the Mayor of Krakow playtime in the prophet. In a few days (maybe even in the moment because I'm writing this column a few days before its publication), on Krakow's streets will be billboards and posters of my rival in quantities which you are not dreaming. Pledge to you why the announcement of such a risk? It's very simple. Contrary to appearances, we do not have the Stanislaus Kracikiem equal opportunities. He is preparing a campaign for the money of the Civic Platform, which is a virtually unlimited amount. One might even venture to say that this is not the election campaign, but on the social campaign, because we finance it all. Please remember encountering hung posters throughout the city that was printed for your money. I and my campaign, I do only for their own savings and with contributions people who believe that good shall hold office and we have to allow the completion of projects initiated by me.
I just touch the heart of the problem. You look at it from this site - millions of dollars to the campaign come from the Warsaw, the support comes from the central authorities in Warsaw, the possible coalition of support for the party runs from Warsaw. How do you think will float guidelines to govern the city? I'm afraid that, from Warsaw?
Councillors party many times so far proven that they can not leave the door Hall Agenda of their political views. The ballots are usually guided by the instructions of his superiors in the party headquarters. There, at meetings of party bodies, often passed by the decisions that Councillors are required to carry out. As long as the Councillor will act in accordance with his conscience and the interests of the city, will never be true self-government. Examples? Pretty please. Late last year, council members have attempted to reject the PO the city budget, no serious argument, and just to tease just the president. Even the newspaper pointed out that by making life office of the president, Platform will facilitate the start of his candidate. No one worried about the consequences threaten the city, if the budget was not passed. Voted against the interests of the city, he told them to do so as party secretary. And such examples could give a lot.
I hope that at times the only party which will gather in their hands all the power (government, province, city), is already behind us. Because the local government is not a good omen.
