Kaczyński loses credibility

Three months after the Smolensk air disaster the opposition in Poland has announced an end to domestic peace and accused the government of being partially responsible for the disaster. The conservative and normally opposition-friendly Rzeczpospolita sees this as inexcusable: "The loss of credibility is a nightmare for any party and any politician. It looks very much like [national-conservative party] Law and Justice is willing to take this risk. Jarosław Kaczyński holds the PO [Civic Platform] government responsible for the disaster in Smolensk. [The national-conservative MP] Joachim Brudziński is demanding that Prime Minister Donald Tusk disappear from the political stage forever because he left the body of Lech Kaczyński 'lying in the mud in Ivan's coffin'. ... This is the best way to lose credibility. And in politics a lack of credibility is a mortal sin."
