Social Media As a Tool of Political Permanent Campaign on the Example of the Activity of Polish Politicians SWS INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY SWS Journal of Social Sciences and Art ISSUE 2, 2019 SWS Journal of Social Sciences and Art SOCIAL MEDIA AS A TOOL OF POLITICAL PERMANENT CAMPAIGN ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE ACTIVITY OF POLISH POLITICIANS Assoc. Prof. PhD Małgorzata Adamik-Szysiak Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, Poland ABSTRACT In the context of the processes of professionalization and modernization of political communication and mediatization of politics, the aim of the article is to show how to use social media in strategies for communicating of party leaders on the Polish political scene. The research questions concerned attempts of the politicians to use social media to im- plement communication marketing strategies, in particular in the aspect of engaging and mobilizing Internet users not only in the periods of electoral campaigns, but also in the long-term perspective. The messages disseminated by politicians in social media (mainly on Facebook and Twitter) were analysed primarily from the point of view of their effectiveness (measured by the popularity of entries and their media visibility). It was important to pay attention to the ways of presenting and creating the political reality by politicians through the media. The empirical research covered the years 2015-2017 and were of the longitudinal na- ture. The basic research method is the analysis of the content, both quantitative and quali- tative. Examining the way of the presentation of specific issues I am using the concept of framing the media messages. According to the first hypothesis (H1), the use of social media by Polish politicians proves the growing professionalization of political communication, especially through the prism of its Americanization based on the concept of a hybrid style of communica- tion, thus adapting selected solutions tested on the American political scene to Polish realities. The second hypothesis (H2) indicates that in the communication strategies of political party leaders, social media are perceived as a communication tool which primary function is not only to inform but also to maintain relations with a potential electorate, in accordance with the assumptions of relationship marketing.

The research conducted by author reveals that anti­ -systemic electorate is less interested in politics and more likely to be influenced by electoral TV spots. The study also confirms the relation between emotional atti­ tudes to political actors and political preferences. According to the results of expe­ riment anti-systemic voters expressed more positive feelings towards candidates from out of the political mainstream, and the other way round, the pro-systemic electorate rather liked the candidates presented by parliamentary parties.

    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: What are the prospects for Poland’s radical right Confederation? Page 1 of 4 What are the prospects for Poland’s radical right Confederation? Poland’s October election saw the unexpected success of a strongly pro-free market and nationalist radical right challenger to the ruling party. However, as Aleks Szczerbiak writes, the new grouping’s youthful, anti-establishment core electorate is notoriously fickle, and its ideological eclecticism – and the presence of highly controversial personalities among its leaders – makes it an unstable political construct. Formally constituted at the beginning of 2019, the radical right-wing ‘Confederation’ (Konfederacja) grouping is a political conglomerate comprising an eclectic mix of economic libertarians clustered around the veteran political eccentric Janusz Korwin-Mikke and radical nationalists from the National Movement (RN) party. The Confederation’s first electoral outing was in the 2019 European Parliament (EP) elections, when one of its leaders summed up the grouping’s policy platform as: ‘we don’t want Jews, homosexuals, abortion, taxes and the EU’. But the Confederation’s signature issue was its criticism of the alleged failure of the government, led since 2015 by the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, to stand up to the United States and Israel over the question of Jewish wartime reparations – something the Confederation views as being emblematic of the government’s inability to defend Poland’s international interests effectively (a charge the ruling party denies vehemently). The Confederation narrowly failed to cross the 5% parliamentary representation threshold for parties, winning 4.6% of the votes, and most commentators expected it to once-again fail in the October parliamentary election last year.

On 11th January, in an interview broadcast on Polish Radio 24 (public broadcaster), Dr. Jerzy Targalski, a columnist of the Gazeta Polska newspaper and a lecturer at the Centre for Eastern European Studies at the University of Warsaw, made a bizarre statement about the COVID- 19 epidemic, which included racial overtones. He said: “We have yet to see to what extent this epidemic will spread outside of China, as so far it is proven than the Chinese are more susceptible than representatives of the white race. […] I think it won’t spread”. Then, on 28th March, in an interview for the radical-right Fronda.pl website, Targalski was asked: “Could this pandemic be a result of factional infighting in China?” and he replied: “When you know Communism, you know that there’s no crime a Communist wouldn’t stoop down to in order to take or preserve power”. Targalski is a host of many television programmes on right-wing TV Republika and a co-author of the book, Children of Officials (2013), which presented modern Poland as ruled by a conspiracy of the post-Communist elite, often with Jewish background. This book was criticised for manipulation and antisemitic stereotypes.

  • Poland 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    POLAND 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religion. It states religion is a personal choice, and all churches and religious organizations have equal rights. A concordat with the Holy See defines relations with the Roman Catholic Church. Statutes and agreements determine relations between the government and 14 other religious groups. The law prohibits public speech offensive to religious sentiment. In July, the government moved to invalidate the registration of the Reformed Catholic Church for recognizing same-sex marriage after registering the group earlier in the year. Municipal authorities in the town of Jaslo proceeded with construction of a road running through what the Rabbinical Commission for Cemeteries identified as a Jewish cemetery and, after uncovering several graves, exhumed the bodies and reburied them in another cemetery over the opposition of the commission. The government decided 22 religious communal-property restitution cases out of 2,938 outstanding cases, compared with 151 cases decided in 2019. During the national presidential campaign, President Andrzej Duda and governing Law and Justice Party (PiS) Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski, as well as opposition politicians, expressed opposition to restitution for Jewish heirless property claims arising from the Holocaust era. Government-controlled media used anti-Semitic rhetoric during the presidential campaign in the spring and summer. Some opposition parliamentarians made anti-Semitic comments during the year. Senior government officials participated in Holocaust remembrance events. The government investigated 370 religiously motivated incidents in 2019 (the most recent data available), compared with 429 in the previous year. There were 182 anti-Semitic, 112 anti-Muslim, and 76 anti-Catholic incidents.

The article follows this trend, presenting an empirical study carried out in Poland during the 2015 presidential electoral campaign. The results show gender differences in the evaluation of candidates. We found out that women are more susceptible to changing the perception of candidates’ images as a result of the influence of TV electoral ads. Interestingly, watching advertisements resulted in a statistically significant decrease in the evaluation of most candidates. Women’s susceptibility to political advertising is also proved by changes in the emotional attitude to the candidates after watching the spots. In addition, the research showed that TV electoral ads cannot change the perception of candidates whose images are consolidated in public discourse. Key words: political advertising, effects of political advertising, gender, political image, presidential election INTRODUCTION The 2015 presidential election in Poland resulted in many surprising outcomes and confirmed that a proper communication strategy can enable even quite an ob- scure candidate to defeat the popular incumbent president in the fight for the office of the head of state.

Targalski is a host of many television programmes on right-wing TV Republika and a co-author of the book, Children of Officials (2013), which presented modern Poland as ruled by a conspiracy of the post-Communist elite, often with Jewish background.

  • Poland 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    POLAND 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of religion. It states religion is a personal choice, and all churches and religious organizations have equal rights. A concordat with the Holy See defines relations with the Roman Catholic Church. Statutes and agreements determine relations between the government and 15 religious groups. The law prohibits public speech offensive to religious sentiment. The government decided 151 religious communal-property restitution cases out of 3,089 outstanding cases. The president, prime minister, and interior minister denounced anti-Semitism. Senior government officials participated in Holocaust remembrance events. During the year, the government and various political parties rejected calls for broad, expedited private property restitution. Jewish groups criticized as insensitive some statements by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and other public figures about property restitution. Ruling party leaders also made statements during the year that were criticized as insensitive by Jewish groups and other observers. Some opposition parliamentarians made anti-Semitic comments during the year. The government investigated 429 incidents in 2018 (the most recent data available) in which the motivation of the perpetrator was the religious affiliation of the victim, compared with 506 in the previous year. The 2018 data did not specify which religious groups were targeted in these incidents. Civil society groups said the figures were not comprehensive. News media, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and Jewish groups reported the level of anti-Semitic speech remained relatively high, especially in online messaging and internet media websites, after an increase in 2018. There were incidents of physical attacks against Roman Catholic clergy and vandalism at Jewish and Roman Catholic sites.
