Poland's liberal-conservative Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Lech Kaczynski, a troublesome opponent. Since Tusk took office in fall 2007, the conflict between the two taps dispute flared up - after brief periods of peaceful cohabitation - on time and again. Time it was concerned with the place at the negotiating table at the EU summit in Brussels, at which all laughed Europe, sometimes to the health of the government which made the head of state with his veto dashed.

But now the government is hoping for an early end to his problems. Tusk's party, the Civic Platform PO, nominated on Saturday in Warsaw Parliament Bronislaw Komorowski, the chief presidential candidates. In an internal party preselection gave him more than two thirds of party members use their voice. The 57 - year-old conservative must win in the election in the fall of the highest public office and displace Lech Kaczynski. For Tusk would allow the defeat of the unpopular twin brothers Kaczynski perfect. The then Prime Minister Jaroslaw had lost parliamentary elections in 2007 after the switch to the opposition bench.

Komorowski was a "hero" praised Tusk, the PO candidate and reminded him of his long anti-communist opposition work. As a 19-year-old was the historian was jailed in 1971 for the first time, it was followed by many more arrests and detention of several months after the imposition of martial law by General Wojciech Jaruzelski 1981st As a radical opponents of the regime Komorowski initially rejected any compromise with the Communists, but after the democratic transition of 1989 to moderate public servants. In the years 2000 and 2001, the politicians in charge of the Defense Department.

After the nomination Tusk said very directly, what he expects from Komorowski: The new president should quit after his election victory to the "war" at the head of state, urged the Prime Minister. Komorowski, and promptly declared: "He wanted to stir up either splitting nor conflicts, but few integrate.

That the candidate secures the Civic Platform after the fall election in the presidential palace, is considered very likely. Komorowski had the victory in his pocket, said Andrzej Morozowski by the TV channel TVN 24. All the pollsters are currently looking at the parliamentary chief as a clear winner over Lech Kaczynski. With the work of the incumbent head of state two thirds of citizens are not satisfied.

Actually wanted to Tusk even candidates for presidential chair. End of January, but he declined - despite clear favorite role - a surprise to the candidate. The real power has the Government, he explained his decision to keep the prime ministerial.


The code ordered by him, in vain with the Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski took against Komorowski, proved to be a success. From a "brilliant PR stunt" said the Opposition. For, although the actual election date has not yet been determined and the election campaign officially started yet, dominated the duel versus Komorowski Sikorski weeks the front pages of newspapers.

Despite the good starting position Tusk warned his party against premature victory mood. "The election campaign will be no walk," he said on Saturday. The renowned PR expert Eryk Mistkiewicz said that Kaczynski's Law and Justice Party will seek to the end after a corpse in the cellar, still to avert defeat. Five years ago, Lech Kaczynski won the presidential election, after his staff put the rumor into the world, Tusk's grandfather had volunteered for the Wehrmacht. The scoop turned out to be wrong, but only after the election.
