Katarzyna Pełczyńska wrote that the statement, which was supposed to sound like a threat, she took as encouragement. She pointed out that if the party leaders from both sides of the dispute, as well as Mr. Patelnia, Mr. Mejza, and Matecki, were to leave the Parliament, the situation would be interesting. Pełczyńska added that the limitation to two terms in democracies usually pertains to directly elected offices, such as the country's president, village head, mayor, or city president. In her opinion, pathological systems form more quickly around such concentrated power. She believed that an executive power chosen collegially and collegiate bodies, such as the Parliament and councils, are more resistant to this because decisions are made by many people, and their composition changes from term to term. She emphasized that the system of Polish local government requires reflection and perhaps changes, such as strengthening the position of councilors. However, she opposed the removal of the term limit for presidents and mayors on the principle of "everyone or no one." As she wrote, according to such logic, one would also have to abolish the term limit for the President of Poland, which—she noted—nobody wants in Poland. She added that the effects of such a solution can be observed with Poland's eastern neighbors. #demokracja #polityka #władza (translated)
