Between Constitutional Tragedy and Political Farce

One of the two basic genres of ancient drama is tragedy -fate thwarts all the intentions and actions of the main protagonist, leading him to his doom.In such terms does the governing coalition in Poland attempt to present what befell the presidential elections in Poland -just a few days before the elections, the leaders of the two coalition parties issued the decision that the elections would not take place on the planned and constitutional dates.Was it indeed the lack of cooperation from the opposition, despite the strenuous attempts and herculean efforts of the government, that made it necessary to postpone the elections?Unfortunately, recent events in Poland are more reminiscent of a political farce in which the characters are drawn into a series of increasingly unbelievable, awkward or compromising events, and efforts to exit the situation lead to further entrenchment and even more compromise.What is tragic, however, is that those in government openly ignore the Constitution and demand post factum legitimacy for their unlawful activities by the captured judicial authorities.
