One of the most significant political figures in modern Poland is Bronislaw Komarovsky. His biography is replete with many interesting facts related to both social activities and personal life. Let's try to dwell on the most basic of them. So, get acquainted: Bronislaw Komarovsky - President of Poland, politician, person.
Childhood and youth politics
Future President of Poland Bronislaw Komarovsky was born on June 4, 1952 in the small town of Oborniki-Slański, located in the south-west of the country, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. His father was Zygmund Leon Komarovsky, a famous scientist of his time, and his mother was Yadviga Shalkovskaya. Both parents belonged to ancient gentry families.
In 1957, the Komarovsky family moved to another small Polish town - Yuzewuf, and in 1959 - to Pruszkow. In 1966, Bronislav went to the capital - Warsaw, where he graduated from a general education lyceum. In the same place, the future president first joined dissident activities, for which he was arrested in 1971.
After Bronislav Komarovsky graduated from Warsaw University in 1977university (faculty of history), he started working in one of the Polish magazines and then teaching history at school.
Beginning of political activity
The future president, as mentioned above, began his political activities with participation in various dissident circles. Since 1980, he joined the well-known opposition organization Solidarity, which was headed by Lech Walesa. When a protest movement broke out in Poland in the early 1980s, Bronisław Komarovsky was kept in custody for some time as a person who potentially posed a danger to the peace in the state.
However, all this did not prevent him, until the abolition of the Polish People's Republic, from publishing one of the opposition magazines, which caused great displeasure of the ruling circles.
On the political Olympus
After Poland broke with the communist past in 1989 and embarked on the path of democratization of society, Bronislaw Komarovsky's political career went up sharply. Immediately after the proclamation of the Third Republic, he was appointed head of the apparatus of one of the ministries. In 1990, Bronislaw Komarovsky achieved the position of Deputy Minister of Defense, and the following year he was elected to the Polish parliament. The pinnacle of his government career was 2000, when the hero of our story received the post of Minister of Defense. However, he was forced to leave the following year.
After that, Bronislav Komarovsky joined the liberal-conservative Civic Platform, then led by Donald Tusk. In 2007, he became the speaker of the Polish parliament, where he continued to be active, defending his personal citizenship and the interests of the political force that nominated him.
Towards the Presidency
After the tragic death of Polish President Lech Kaczynski in 2010 in a plane crash near Smolensk, according to the Constitution, the powers of the acting head of state were transferred to the head of parliament, that is, to Bronislav Komarovsky.
At that time, he had a relatively low popularity rating among the electorate. Many experts in the presidential race predicted the victory of the brother of the deceased president - Yaroslav Alexander Kachinsky. Nevertheless, the active work of the acting head of state eventually swayed the sympathy of voters in his favor. Thus, in the elections in July 2010, Bronislav Komarovsky was elected president. The biography of the famous Polish politician was replenished with the most significant achievement in his life.
In the presidential position
After taking office as president, Bronislav Komarovsky began to pursue the course declared before the elections. It consisted in the further integration of Poland into the EU structures, as well as in strengthening the country's defense capability.
However, just during the presidency of Komarovsky, for a number of objective and subjective reasons, a number of crisis phenomena began to appear in the economy. Controversy also began to mount.between Poland and one of its main economic partners - the Russian Federation - in connection with the global political crisis that arose in 2014. Bronislav Komarovsky himself spoke rather unflatteringly about Russia, which only contributed to the growing tension in relations between the countries, which was reflected in mutual trade sanctions.
All of the above factors significantly contributed to the decline in Komarovsky's popularity among the population of Poland.
2015 elections
2015 was marked in Poland by another presidential election. The main candidates for the main state post were two people. One of them is Bronislaw Komarovsky, the President of Poland, who is increasingly losing the sympathy of voters, the second is the promising politician Andrzej Sebastian Duda, a nominee of the opposition right-wing conservative party Law and Justice.
Already at the end of the first round, Duda left the rest of his competitors behind. The second round, in which the representative of "Law and Justice" defeated Komarovsky, only confirmed the choice of the Poles. Andrzej Duda became the new president of Poland.
Thus ended the presidency of Bronislav Komarovsky. It was marked by ambiguous and not entirely pleasant events, but, nevertheless, forever entered the modern history of the Polish state.
Family
But the main achievement of this man is not a successful political career, and not even a presidential position, but a strong and friendly family, which was created by Bronislav Komarovsky. Her photo is located below.
The future president of Poland in 1977 married Anna Dembrowska, who became his faithful life partner. In 1979, their first daughter, Sofia Alexandra, was born. After that, four more children appeared in the family - Tadeusz Jan, Maria Anna, Peter Sigmund, Elzbieta Jadwiga. They have grown up a long time ago and themselves gave the happy couple Komarovsky long-awaited grandchildren.
Truly, it is a strong and friendly family that is the main unit of a strong state, and the greatest merit of each person, of course, can be called the creation of such a primary component of society.
