W historii lekarza-radnego Dawida Kacprzyka splata się tyle tradycyjnych osi krytyki wobec Koalicji Obywatelskiej, że prawica będzie ją eksploatować zarówno w kampanii wyborczej 2027 roku, jak i w ewentualnej próbie odwołania Rafała Trzaskowskiego w drodze referendum.
Zdarzają się takie polityczne lub związane z polityką afery, które nawet mimo swego obiektywnie ciężkiego kalibru i tego, że wywołują spore poruszenie w świecie dziennikarsko-komentatorskim, nie mają ostatecznie żadnego poważniejszego przełożenia ani na realny układ sił na scenie, ani na poglądy opinii publicznej.
Czasem działa „teflon” w postaci powyborczego kredytu zaufania udzielonego ugrupowaniu, którego afera dotyczy. Czasem opisane przez media lub prokuratorów fakty są zbyt zawiłe i zbyt mało jednoznaczne, by partyjni spin doktorzy mogli łatwo zamienić je w bezpośrednio oddziałującą na wyborców historię.
Czasem zaś działają mechanizmy polaryzacyjne – wyborcy partii, której afera dotyczy, są tak mocno przeświadczeni o apriorycznej słuszności jej racji, a jej przeciwnicy tak pewni tego, że partia ta jest wcieleniem czystego zła, że samo ujawnienie afery niczego nie zmienia – bo nie wpływa na nic poza przekonywaniem już przekonanych.
Zdarzają się jednak i takie afery, które mają potężną moc oddziaływania – i mogą znacząco wpływać na postrzeganie całych obozów politycznych. Czasem nie trzeba do tego wcale zarzutów prokuratorskich ani wielomiliardowych kwot. Wystarczy, że porusza wystarczająco dużo czułych strun, by można było na nich zagrać odpowiednio nośną polityczną melodię.
Z opisaną przez serwis zero.pl historią Dawida Kacprzyka i warszawskiego Szpitala Południowego dokładnie tak właśnie jest. To polityczny samograj dla przeciwników Koalicji Obywatelskiej.
W tej jednej, bulwersującej nawet najbardziej oddanych zwolenników KO, opowieści spotyka się kilka klasycznych osi krytyki tej partii. Te motywy będą powracać — a postać Kacprzyka i „salonik VIP” w warszawskim szpitalu będą regularnie przywoływane w politycznych kampaniach prawicy. Oto dlaczego.
„Złotymi chłopcami Platformy” nazywano u schyłku pierwszych rządów PO w koalicji z PSL rozmaitych, z reguły relatywnie młodych, bardzo obrotnych działaczy partii, którzy wykorzystując rozmaite znajomości i powiązania z platformerską elitą, robili pieniądze na styku biznesu i polityki.
Z reguły nie wiązało się to z niczym, co mogłoby być obiektem zainteresowania organów ścigania, a jednak pachniało brzydko albo bardzo brzydko. Tak właśnie powstawały karykatury słynnej swego czasu frazy „młodzi, wykształceni, z wielkich miast”, którą liberalni publicyści najchętniej opisywali ówczesny elektorat Platformy.
Reprezentowany przez „złotych chłopców” model etycznie wyzwolonych polityczno-biznesowych karier rozwijanych pod skrzydłami partii władzy doskonale się do tego nadawał. I nic, to, że dokładnie te same schematy, za to w znacznie większym natężeniu, można było obserwować również za rządów PiS.
Lekarsko-menedżerska kariera Dawida Kacprzyka dokładnie się w ten wzorzec wpisuje. Młody lekarz bez specjalizacji w budzący zrozumiałe wątpliwości sposób otrzymał stanowisko koordynatora Szpitalnego Oddziału Ratunkowego w warszawskim Szpitalu Południowym. Pracował też w 3 innych szpitalach. W ten sposób w ciągu jednego tylko roku zarobił 1,6 mln złotych, co daje średnio 133 tysiące zł miesięcznie.
W dodatku te zrozumiałe wątpliwości wydają się tu wyjaśniać bez żadnej pomocy. Szpital jest własnością miasta Warszawy, Warszawą rządzi zaś Koalicja Obywatelska, mająca i prezydenta miasta, i większość w jego radzie. Sam Kacprzyk jest zaś nie tylko lekarzem, ale i radnym KO. Kropki łączą się same — a przynajmniej tak to działa w społecznym odbiorze tej sprawy.
Zdecydowanie warto zajrzeć do tego materiału, bo bezlitośnie ukazuje on specyfikę i logikę działania otoczenia Marcina Kierwińskiego jako szefa warszawskich struktur KO.
W telegraficznym skrócie: Kacprzyk wyrósł u boku Kierwińskiego, bo pomógł partyjnym władzom w przejęciu pełnej kontroli nad Stowarzyszeniem Młodzi Demokraci, czyli ściśle związaną z Platformą Obywatelską organizacją młodzieżowo-studencką, niebędącą jednak wprost podporządkowaną strukturom PO partyjną młodzieżówką.
Kacprzyk odegrał w tej operacji rolę trochę uczestnika przewrotu pałacowego, a trochę wtyczki starej platformerskiej gwardii w organizacji, która przynajmniej momentami próbowała podążać własną drogą.
Zaznaczmy przy tym, że był to rok 2022 – a więc wciąż epoka rządów Borysa Budki w PO. Czas, w którym Platforma wciąż nie była w stanie w pełni się pozbierać do skutecznej kontrofensywy przeciwko rządom PiS. To, że Młodzi Demokraci momentami się dystansowali od decyzji ówczesnego kierownictwa partii, a momentami próbowali działać na własną rękę, można im w gruncie rzeczy zapisać jedynie na plus.
W nagrodę właśnie za swój udział w pozbawieniu tej organizacji koncesjonowanej niezależności K…
