Kaczyński, a Cat, and a Nokia: PiS Leader Sends German Chancellor Packing in #PodmiotowaPolska Spot

The latest spot from PiS (Law and Justice party) harks back to the style of "Ucho prezesa" (The Boss's Ear). The sound of a Nokia phone rings out, and a cat is shown on a windowsill.

Jarosław Kaczyński answers a call from the German ambassador, who wishes to connect him with the German Chancellor regarding "rentenalter" – the retirement age in Poland, which "should be the same as during Prime Minister Tusk's tenure." Kaczyński, who "plays" himself in the spot, states: "Please apologize to the Chancellor, but Poles will decide this matter in a referendum. Tusk is no longer in office, and those customs have ended."




The spot references a memo drafted in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister after a phone conversation between the then-Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Chancellor Merkel, revealed in the series "Reset."
