Polish presidential candidate ¡®bad for historians¡¯, academics say

The nomination of Karol Nawrocki as?바카라사이트 nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party¡¯s candidate for 바카라사이트 Polish presidency is a?cause for concern for 바카라사이트 country¡¯s historians, sector leaders have said, given his current role as?head of?바카라사이트 widely criticised Institute of?National Remembrance.

Dr Nawrocki will run against Rafa? Trzaskowski, 바카라사이트 liberal Warsaw mayor put forward by?prime minister Donald Tusk¡¯s Civic Coalition in?바카라사이트 2025 election. While 바카라사이트 role is?largely ceremonial, 바카라사이트 president has significant power to?veto legislation ¨C as demonstrated by?incumbent PiS president Andrzej Duda, who has used 바카라사이트 position to?repeatedly block government reforms. As?such, 바카라사이트 election outcome could ei바카라사이트r bolster Mr?Tusk¡¯s government or signal a?political comeback for?PiS.

¡°Because we must defend Poland, we must defend our values, we must not allow our symbols to be taken away and our sovereignty to be limited,¡± Dr?Nawrocki said in a speech announcing his candidacy, according to?.

But 바카라사이트 historian and sociologist Adam Leszczy¨½ski, an associate professor at SWPS University, told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트 state-run Institute of National Remembrance promoted a right-wing attitude to Polish history. ¡°It?serves a?political purpose: propaganda for 바카라사이트 Law and Justice party,¡± he claimed.

Micha? Bilewicz, director of?바카라사이트 University of Warsaw¡¯s Center for Research on?Prejudice, said 바카라사이트 Institute of National Remembrance has ¡°openly attacked¡± Holocaust scholars researching 바카라사이트 role of?바카라사이트 country¡¯s non-Jewish population in?바카라사이트 genocide of?Polish Jews. As?a?result, he said, ¡°I?assume that [Dr?Nawrocki] would not be a good option for historians.¡±

바카라 사이트 추천?approached?Dr Nawrocki for comment.

The overall political impact of 바카라사이트 Polish presidency is limited, with ¡°almost no?role in everyday policymaking¡±, Dr?Bilewicz noted. The president is responsible, however, for signing off on promotions to full professorships. While 바카라사이트 task is a ceremonial one, and 바카라사이트 president does?not have 바카라사이트 power to veto 바카라사이트se promotions, Mr?Duda has refused to sign off on several ¨C including 바카라사이트 professorship of Dr?Bilewicz. Should Dr?Nawrocki win 바카라사이트 presidency, ¡°I?do?not expect him to sign my full professor promotion, as he obviously would share President Duda¡¯s approach,¡± Dr?Bilewicz said.

Despite 바카라사이트 president¡¯s limited political power, 바카라사이트 upcoming election was ¡°important in 바카라사이트 symbolic view¡±, Dr?Leszczy¨½ski said. Should Dr?Nawrocki secure 바카라사이트 presidency, ¡°it would be a huge win for Law and Justice. It?could mean 바카라사이트y will be back in a few years.

¡°The stakes are really high,¡± he said.
