Grzegorz Macko reported that in Mieroszów he participated in a crisis management team regarding the situation at the zoo in Łączna, and then met with protesters outside the garden. During the meeting, as he relayed, he learned from the police chief in Wałbrzych that the Ministry of Climate and Environment, led by Paulina Henning-Kloska, had been involved in discussions about transporting animals from Poland to the Netherlands for some time. Macko wrote that the zoo fence was damaged and more foundations were withdrawing from activities on its premises and taking over the animals. He accused the voivode, Anna Żabska from the Civic Coalition, of convening the crisis team but not attending it herself. According to him, there was chaos on the spot, no one responsible for coordination, and institutions did not indicate who would take care of the animals after the organizations withdrew. He added that the police officers moved among the animals and provided them with water. He conveyed that a representative of the prosecutor's office said during the crisis team that activities were completed the previous day. Macko added that in the afternoon the court did not grant the prosecutor's request to arrest the owner of the zoo. The politician emphasized that in his opinion, politicians and residents should not decide who is right in the dispute or assess whether irregularities occurred. However, he considered it the politicians' duty to evaluate the actions of state services. He described the situation at the zoo as an example of serious communication, organizational, and perhaps legal problems. He also wrote that the case showed, as he assessed, a broader dysfunction of the state, also in terms of animal welfare. #ZOO #OchronaZwierząt #Kryzys (translated)

He stated that Ćwik and Kloska did not calculate this, but he considered the strategy itself to be correct: in his opinion, it consisted of promising unfulfilled things to stay in power thanks to gullible voters. https://t.co/dgjxZZA0T9 #deficyt #polityka #obietnice (translated)

Kafir wrote that he increasingly considered elitism to be better than democracy, because — as he claimed — in elections the vote of a person with knowledge and experience carries the same weight as the vote of a person without basic competencies. He noted that elitism, in his opinion, did not depend on wealth or education, but on knowledge, reason, and the ability to think independently. He criticized voters who — according to him — assessed economic policy without knowledge of issues such as inflation, budget, or monetary policy. As examples, he referred to people shopping at Lidl and Biedronka, as well as checking purchase prices, and accused some of them of confusing daily savings with the competencies needed to evaluate the state's finances. At the same time, he emphasized that simply looking for cheaper products was not bad. Kafir also criticized politicians who — as he wrote — lacked experience in running businesses or managing budgets, yet held positions that allowed them to decide on significant public expenditures. He accused right-wing groups of citing religion, tradition, and national values while simultaneously supporting strong authority without proper oversight. He argued that appeals to patriotism and religion did not replace the knowledge and competencies necessary to govern the state. He compared the expectations placed on children in their education to the expectations of politicians. He wrote that parents usually required their children to learn math and helped them acquire knowledge, yet some voters — in his opinion — did not expect similar competencies from those seeking power. He compared governing the state to entrusting a ten-year-old child with the household budget without parental control, pointing out that promises of unfunded expenditures could lead to debt. The author accused voters of re-electing politicians despite their mistakes if they promised them more money, and that they rejected criticism as a lack of patriotism. He claimed that some people did not want to check information or analyze arguments and instead trusted loud political messages. In conclusion, he asked why voters demanded education from children but did not require knowledge from politicians before entrusting them with power. He also mentioned the action "7 percent of 460," relating it to the number of deputies, and stated that there were at most 7 percent of wise ones among them. #Demokracja #Elitaryzm #Edukacja (translated)
