Abstracts

EN

In this summary, it is essential to highlight that in his statements, J. Kaczyński touches upon a narrow range of subjects. He uses merely 12 nouns on a regular basis (issue, politics, Poland, Prime Minister, democracy, law, society, country, opposition, truth, economy (or finance) and prices). He rarely addresses foreign policy issues and fails to specifically refer to historical facts. However, it is impossible not to notice his critical assessment of the Polish government's actions. The most prominent subject of Kaczyński's speeches are the current state of democracy in Poland. This sentiment is best captured by the quotation “it is a practice [here: about the actions of the Polish Sejm - author's note] which does not fit into the framework of democracy”. This tone is used to refer to the alleged breaching of opposition's law, which points out the terrible condition of Polish democracy. Kaczyński's speeches paint the picture that the basic provisions of democracy being broken. Among his claims are alleged lying to the society by those in power, lack of control mechanisms over the institutions guiding the country's actions, inequalities in Polish political procedure, and, most importantly the breaking of the laws of the opposition.
