I suspect that what politicians hate most is being reminded of what they once said and what remains of it. What’s more, I think they may not like it even more today than before. After all, the Internet, unlike manuscripts, does not burn; every syllable uttered by a politician is saved in the cloud. It is easy to find, for example, performances by Donald Tusk from Campus Poland of the Future.
TThree years ago, having just returned to Polish politics, he announced that if he became leader of the parliamentary majority, one of his first decisions would be to agree to civil partnerships.
Two years ago, in the same place, he announced that there would be no place on the PO lists for opponents of the right to legal abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy.
