Kaczynski wants Tusk on the catwalk?

Leader of the major opposition party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski has mused that Prime Minister Donald Tusk would be better off finding himself a job as a... fashion model.

In an interview for the Super Express daily tabloid, Kaczynski said that even though Donald Tusk had written books about the Baltic city of Gdansk and nearby Brusy, “if [Tusk’s] literary career doesn’t work out, he has the [option] to be a fashion model. Men’s fashion. For middle-aged men.”

Jaroslaw Kaczynski’s remarks come after the results of a number of surveys undertaken for Law and Justice show that the opposition party has overtaken the ruling Civic Platform, although he would like to see Law and Justice gaining an extra 10 percentage points in order to rule without the need for a coalition.

Kaczynski spared no kind words for Civic Platform, saying “we have not only lost four years, but we have regressed […] and the economy is even worse.”

Asked on how Jaroslaw Kaczynski will commemorate the first anniversary of the Smolensk catastrophe, in which his brother, President Lech Kaczynski was killed with 95 others, the opposition leader said that he will observe the date as he does every month.

“There will be a Mass in the morning, then we will visit the graves of our friends […]. However, I am hoping that Poles will spontaneously organise [events] in those places where they were just after the catastrophe,” Kaczynski told Super Express. (jb)
