Two new presidents for two countries brothers. A wire is not Poland and Hungary was the election of a common sovereign, or a renaming of some nineteenth-century insurgency. Nor, happily, yet another barricade against 'fraternal assistance "Soviet. But, almost intentionally, the advent of the new heads of state, Bronislaw Komorowski and Pal Schmitt, on Friday, August 6. Both, again not surprisingly, already the President. Both ceremonies, another analogy, were boycotted by the opposition.
68 years, physically robust, graying hair. Pal Schmitt of Hungary is the third post-Soviet president. His is the classic biography of the man of success: Olympic and world champion in fencing coach di nuovi talenti, poi ambasciatore del prprio Paese nel mondo, come europarlamentare, eletto tra le fila del partito conservatore Fidesz, tornato al governo, lo scorso 25 aprile, dopo anni di amministrazione socialista.
Nominato dalla maggioranza della Assemblea Nazionale - il parlamento ungherese - di cui è stato anche presidente per qualche mese, Schmitt ha dichiarato l'intenzione di modificare il preambolo della Costituzione, nella quale, concordemente con l'orientamento del proprio elettorato, ha promesso di inserire un accenno alle radici cristiane ed europee. Un atto importante, dal momento in cui, secondo le sue dichiarazioni, la Costituzione deve essere il documento-guida della nazione, sia sul piano morale che su quello socio-politico and econoimico.
"The Christian roots - he cried in the inaugural address - the idea of \u200b\u200bthe Crown of St. Stephen of Hungary and europeicità. These are the ideals we propose to include in the preamble of our Constitution. The Charter not only determines the Supreme rules of law and the law. Has the social values \u200b\u200bunderlying the moral of our country. It applies to all Hungarians. "
A call for unity, which unfortunately was not accepted by the opposition, absent the settlement. Indeed, socialists and greens, too intimidated by a shift in the country's political moderate, supported the re-election of Laszlo Solyom. The former head of state who would like to present themselves as DETACHED superpartes and he ended up colliding with the various political forces and, above all, with the ministries of defense, considering the unique personalities, as army chief, capable of defending the country.
A protest, sterile and inappropriate, thwarted from voting in the numbers of the Assembly, where Fidesz and the Christian Democrats facilmetne found a majority of 2 / 3 to elect Schmitt, and, in fact, the declarations of the same new president, who has promised to work for the good of the nation, and not against someone. Instead, how did his predecessor, supported by the left.
not the most peaceful settlement of Komorowski. 58 years, eyewear, gentle air, already Speaker of the Sejm - the Polish lower house - and President ad interim of Poland after the tragedy of Smolensk, the new head of state has been officially commissioned in a ceremony Lungu whole day: sitting of Parliament in together, visit to the family tomb, traditional Mass settlement, delivery of orders. And finally, reception at the Belvedere.
Europe, the future and better relations with Russia the key words of his speech. Komorowski also promised to rebuild a climate of political harmony in a Poland still shaken by the tragedy of airline Smolensk. In which, the 10th of April, as well as former president, Lech Kaczynski, who lost their lives to the highest charges of a State which, ironically, a few miles from Katyn, was again found free of its vertices. 30 years after the Soviet massacre, which still must be made very clear.
"Strengthening relations between the countries of our area - he said - not only with those institutions which, together with us, joined the European Union, but also with those who aspire to it. However, this does not affect the good relations with Moscow, which must be fundamental to Warsaw. Above all, following the tragedy of Smolensk, which has demonstrated that cooperation between Poland and Russia is possible. "
reasoning that did not like the opposition. Whose leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, twin brother of the late President, and candidate defeated by Komorowski, has marked the visit, raising criticism from the president of the European, Jerzy Buzek, and the former Head of State, the Social Democrat Aleksander Kwasniewski. As explained by Vice President of Law and Justice party - the political strength of conservative opposition - Blessed Szydlo, the absence of Kaczynski was due to personal reasons, not political.
The opposition leader also said he appreciated the speech Komorowski only as regards the intention to restore an atmosphere of harmony for too long absent in the country. However, he rejected as boring and the rest of the demagogic statements a president who has remember well, it is also one of the leading exponents of the Civic Platform, party, liberal - at least on paper - which also includes the Prime Minister, Donald Tusk. Which, recently, despite election promises, has announced an increase in fees for next fall.
'E' for private matters - explained on TVN24 Szydlo - and not for the defeat in the elections that Kaczynski did not attend. I remember that the opposition leader was the first to congratulate his rival for victory . In the middle of the night, as soon as the vote has been stable. Moreover, it has not lost anything new. The head of state delivered a speech consistent with his campaign. Not only for the slogan "building harmony," that we support, but too tame for the attitude, the edge of boredom, replete with promises that, as shown by his party colleague, Donald Tusk, will not be able to maintain ".
Lawful noted that, unlike the Hungarian case, the liberal Bronislaw Komorowski had to report to the direct vote of the Polish people. Which, last July 4 in the second round, he preferred to his rival, the conservative Jaroslaw Kaczynski, with 53% of the vote, compared to 47%. Under the Constitution, the President of the Republic of Poland has fewer powers than the prime minister. However, it can influence policy Foreign significantly active, and the right to veto decisions of Parliament.
