Kaczism
Kaczism ( Polish : kaczyzm [ ˈkatʃ ɪ zm ]) is a pejorative or satirical designation of the worldview of the Polish party Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS, German : Law and Justice ) and is based on the name of its leading politicians, the twin brothers Jarosław and Lech Kaczyński .
Original, satirical meaning
The term was first used in February 2005 in the weekly magazine Wprost in "Triumph des Kaczismus" to describe the political PiS doctrine. In Polish, when the term is used, the word kaczor ( drake ) sounds , which is often used in caricatures to ironize the family name of the two brothers.
Secondary, political importance
The term gained a political meaning thanks to the SLD MP Joanna Senyszyn, who used it during a Sejm debate on May 5, 2005. It was increasingly used for propaganda purposes by the left and LGBT groups during the Polish presidential elections in 2005 . The PiS opponents put the concept as a negative campaign slogan, it should be the PIS ideology with
- Conservatism ,
- Catholicism
- Anti-communism ,
- Intolerance (towards sexual minorities),
- Nationalism and
- populism
associate.
