Mentzen hard about Kaczyński: "Jarosław Kaczyński is not only a liar but also a jerk" [FILM]

In the latest interview Sławomir Mentzen strongly criticized the leader of the Law and stressed that Kaczyński is using his illness for political purposes.

A New Stage in Political War

Relations between the Confederation and the Law and Justice have been strained for months. Sławomir Mentzen, one of the Confederate leaders, spares no bitter words to Jarosław Kaczyński. In the latest Polsat News program Mentzen clearly assessed the PiS chief's actions, calling him "a liar and a jerk".​

Politically targeted disease

Mentzen referred to Kaczyński's allusion about "insufficient" his opponent, suggesting that it is a blow directed at his health – the leader of the Confederate publicly talks about his struggles with Asperger's syndrome.

Methods of Political Combat by Mentzen

In numerous statements of Confederate policies, the Law and Justice and their day's transmission are based on half-truths, gossip and deliberate manipulation. Mentzen mentioned examples of politicians from the past whose careers – like health or even life – were to suffer from cooperation or conflict with Kaczyński.

Political Stage Reactions

Mentzen's direct and strong words sparked violent reactions among politicians. Przemysław Czarnek from the Law and Justice, he publicly called for the preservation of culture in the debate, pointing out that Mentzen "crossed the borders of non-cultural polemics many times."​

Is it just rhetoric or real change?

It is worth considering whether Mentzen's words are just part of the electoral game, whether they are the beginning of major changes on the Polish political stage. Experts indicate that such harsh rhetoric may:

• Make possible cooperation between the Confederation and the Law and Justice
• Demobilize some moderate voters
• Accelerate the breakdown of current political alliances
