The theme of the Polish flag raised real emotions. Rafał Trzaskowski not only used it as a symbolic prop, but also took it home and showed on social media this morning how he drinks coffee with her.
Flag of Poland – a symbol at the heart of the debate
Yesterday's Super Express presidential debate attracted attention not only with sharp questions from candidates, but also an unexpected return of the Polish flag thread. Rafał Trzaskowski, a candidate of the Civic Coalition, placed a white-red flag on his desktop at the beginning, highlighting its importance and referring to an earlier debate in Koński.
- This is the flag with which Mr. Karol Nawrocki came to the debate with the Horses. When the lights went out, he abandoned her. We all know what it means to abandon the flag in the square. The flags are not abandoned and that is why I have them here – said Trzaskowski, emphasizing the importance of national symbols.
Where did that flag come from?
The story of the flag dates back to the debate in Koński, where PiS candidate Karol Nawrocki brought two flags: white-red and rainbow. After the event, the Polish flag stayed in the hall, as confirmed by photos of journalists present on the site. The network quickly appeared accusations of "stealing" from the Trzask campaign, but the photos dispelled doubts – the flag was simply forgotten by Nawrocki staff.

The symbolic gesture of Trzaskovsky
Following the debate, Rafał Trzaskowski stressed that "white-red never gets out of hand". This gesture was to be not only a repost against political opponents, but also an expression of respect for national symbols and an attempt to build a community beyond divisions.
Rafał Trzaskowski – Coffee and Flag
In the morning after the debate, Trzaskowski published a photo on social media, where he drinks coffee in his apartment and next to the same flag. This is a simple but eloquent example of how a political symbol can become an element of everyday life and a reminder of values that – according to the candidate – should connect all Poles.
A flag that connects or divides?
The flag theme during the Super Express debate showed how easily symbols can become a political tool of the game, but also how they can inspire reflection on the community. Trzaskowski used this motive to emphasize the need to build bridges, not walls – both in politics and in everyday life.
Summary at points:
- The Polish flag has become a symbol of the Super Express debate and political dispute.
- Rafał Trzaskowski used it to highlight the importance of national values and communities.
- The photo with coffee and the flag at Trzaskowski's house became a viral and an interesting example of how politics penetrate into everyday life.
It is worth watching how this symbolic gesture will affect the campaign's further progress and whether bridges can actually be built above political divisions.
