Commentator Bogusław Chrabota employs a Polish proverb, "If you enter among crows, you must caw like them," to dissect the political maneuvering of Mateusz Morawiecki within the Law and Justice (PiS) party. Chrabota questions what happens when an "eagle" finds itself among "crows," suggesting that while the eagle might be forced to caw, its true nature remains distinct.
This analogy is applied to Morawiecki's situation within PiS, a party Chrabota characterizes as having "all sorts of birds; mostly fat poultry and sparrows, but all pretend to be crows." He implies that this pretense is dictated by the party's leader, Jarosław Kaczyński, who allegedly did not want Morawiecki to grow too powerful within PiS.
The commentary suggests that Morawiecki has "broken away from the flock of crows," implying a departure from the party's established norms or directives. However, Chrabota issues a cautionary note: "But beware, he might return." This hints at the possibility of Morawiecki rejoining or reintegrating into the party structure, despite his current perceived divergence.
