Sikorski as Deputy Prime Minister: Mentzen - "Either it's the start of his further career, or an attempt to derail him. Whatever happens, Tusk will benefit."

- What are the possibilities: the first is that the Platforma, its coalition partners, Tusk himself, may even realize that the Prime Minister needs to be changed to have a chance of retaining power in the next election, and then Sikorski's move from Deputy Prime Minister to Prime Minister is a bit more natural. Or perhaps it's just about improving the government's image, Tusk's image, at Sikorski's expense - Sławomir Mentzen said on his YouTube channel. - When Sikorski is currently the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he distances himself from this government, he doesn't deal with current domestic affairs, he doesn't do unpopular things for which he might lose points. He travels around the world, criticizes Germans, Russians, and other people, and Poles like it - he continued. - Many more people like Sikorski than Tusk. So, at the moment when Tusk brings him into the government, burdens him with responsibility for the government's actions on the one hand, prevents him from distancing himself from the government of which he is Deputy Prime Minister, and on the other hand, benefits from Sikorski's good reputation, thus improving the government's image at Sikorski's expense - he went on to say. - Either this is the beginning of Sikorski's further career, or it is an attempt by Tusk to derail Sikorski, to entangle him in all the things that will be done over the next two years by the government [...] in my opinion, this move is clever, and whatever happens, Tusk will benefit from it - he added.
