Józef Mateusz Kamiński (born December 21, 1967) is a Viswe politician who is the 56th and incumbent president of Vistulzka since 2020. He is a member of the Orthodox Republican Party. He began his political career as the Sejm Representative of the 1st Włocławek Sejm District from 1998 to 2010. He was selected to serve as the 54th Chair of the Department of Foreign Relations by 54th President Paweł Hong. He was retained in the position by the 55th President Władysław Skrzyński, making his tenure last from 2012 to 2020.

Kamiński was born in Ásotthalom, Baranya Voivodeship in 1967. He graduated from the Urban University of Ásotthalom in 1989 in international politics, and subsequently earned his law degree from the Włocławek National University in 1992, where he specialized in constitutional law. He was apart of several different Sejm election campaigns from 1993 to 1996. In 1998, he entered the political scene successfully running for the Sejm as a representative of the Włocławek Voivodeship. At the age of 35, he was elected as one of the youngest members of the Sejm in history. He originally joined as a member of the Blue Movement Party, however during his re-election in 1997, he changed his membership to the Orthodox Republican Party and has since ran on an Orthodox Republican platform ever since.

Kamiński gained both domestic and international recognition for his behavior and rhetoric against then-President Yulia Reznikov during the Six-Day War. He and many other Orthodox Republicans, including several Orthodox Republicans on the Ducal Council, protested Reznikov and the Chruściel-Orange Republican Party for their notable lack of action during the first day in the Six-Day War. Reznikov's Marshal Jakub Kijowski and Head of the Ducal Council Jarosław Kaczyński also recieved heavy criticism that put their inaction on the public spotlight. Despite historical support for West Ruthen, Kamiński and many other Orthorox Republicans believed their actions against East Ruthen represented a breach of their trust and moved to align themselves with East Ruthen. Reznikov moved on the second day to mobilize a contingent of the Armed Forces of Vistulzka to assist directly in the war, as well as passing an emergency aid bill through the Sejmek and Sejm to offer military and financial aid to East Ruthen. Kamiński subsequently eased tensions between the Orthodox Republicans and Chruściel-Orange Republicans, and called to rally behind Reznikov's moves. Subsequent diplomatic actions such as the revocation of visa-free status of West Ruthish, the closure of the West Ruthen embassy and the eventual pull of recognition of West Ruthen by Reznikov were praised by Kamiński.

His 2020 presidential campaign was heavily contested with the Three Torches Bloc's candidate, Orden Göncz. He announced his appointment of Małgosia Lemańska as his Marshal and Bálintka Bondarenko as his Head of Ducal Council. It was the first time in Vistulzka history that the appointments to the Marshal and Head of Ducal Council were both female and under 50 years of age. He ticket with his listed appointments to the Ducal Council has the youngest average age in Vistulzka history.

Political Positions

Kamiński's entire career since his time serving in the Sejm up to his current Presidency has been characterized as progressive, and considered to be one of the most progressive members of the Orthodox Republican Party. However, as the Chair of the Department of Foreign Relations, he was considered to be somewhat closer to a nationalist. He has often drawn parallels to his ideology to Magdolnism. Before entering the political scene as an electoral candidate for the Sejm, he was a registered as a member of the Blue Movement Party. However, by 1998 when he ran for Sejm, he ran as part of the Orthodox Republican Party. He has cited political differences and disagreements with leadership of the party for his reason of leaving, but has never publicly stated why he left.

Public Image

Kamiński was elected as one of the youngest members of the Sejm in 1998, which has always been used by both him and his political opponent. He has consistently relied on involving youth politics and involving younger demographics of the country to fill positions within the country. As the Chair of the Department of Foreign Relations, he began several internship contracts with universities around the country in order to hire from a younger college-aged demographic. His selection of Marshal Małgosia Lemańska and Head of Ducal Council Bálintka Bondarenko is the youngest ticket in Vistulzkan history, and the only ticket to ever present both Marshal and Head of Ducal Council as female.

Conflict with Chruściel-Orange Republicans

Kamiński has been known for his disagreements with other members of the Chruściel-Orange Republican Party, stemming from the before the beginning of his political career as a Sejm representative. His rhetoric and harsh criticism against the Chruściel-Orange President Reznikov, Marshal Kijowski and Head of Ducal Council Kaczyński strained his relationships with many different Chruściel-Orange Republicans. However, his relationship with Reznikov was repaired after he praised her commitment to helping East Ruthen and subsequent actions. Kijowski and Kaczyński however stated that, "He is a menace to the New Republican Coalition and is the future of destructive Orthodoxy." Marshal Kijowski in particular disliked Kamiński, commenting Kamiński's appointment as the Chair of the Department of Foreign Relations in 2012, "Hong has appointed the enemy of nations as his chair of foreign relations."

Kamiński has since eased up on his rhetoric and behavior with Chruściel-Orange Republicans, most notably during his 2020 election campaign where he pledged unity amongst the New Republican Coalition. His nomination of Bondarenko, a Chruściel-Orange Republican, as the Head of the Ducal Council was considered a surprise. He was criticized by some members of the Orthodox Republican Party for not electing an Orthodox Republican to the position, but was also commended by Bordarenko and other Chruściel-Orange Republicans for his commitment to bridging the issues between him and Chruściel-Orange Republicans.
