-- NEIGHBOR'S CIGARETTE BUTT, NOT AN ATTACK - RMF FINDINGS: "Police in Inowrocław have detained a man who allegedly unintentionally set fire to a portable toilet on Solankowa Street. It was used by workers renovating the tenement building where PO MP Krzysztof Brejza lives. The politician reported an attempted murder of his family to the police on Sunday. The PO MP's report is related to the fire that broke out near the building on the night of Friday to Saturday. Police have charged the detained 51-year-old with unintentional arson - reports RMF FM reporter Kuba Kaługa." http://www.rmf24.pl/news-pozar-kamienicy-posla-krzysztofa-brejzy-powodem-niedopalek-w,nId,2587123

-- 25 YEARS AGO, President Lech Wałęsa dissolved the Sejm and Senate and called for early elections.

-- PIOTR ZAREMBA'S QUESTION TO UJAZDOWSKI - in DGP: "Eric Alira and Elżbieta Zakrzewska are PO councilors in the Lower Silesian Sejmik whom Grzegorz Schetyna courted in 2008 to help him oust the Marshal of the Voivodeship from the PO ranks, Andrzej Łoś. He did this as the party's Secretary-General and a member of Tusk's government. He hired Alira at the Zagłębie Lubin sports club. Ms. Zakrzewska at the Ministry of Interior hospital in Jelenia Góra. Do you like this model?"

-- UJAZDOWSKI'S REPLY: "I observed the rivalry within the PO camp from the outside. I remember it was tough at times, and I observed with surprise how another faction took power from Schetyna in the region."

-- ZAREMBA'S NEXT QUESTION: "Councilor Alira got a job at Zagłębie Lubin. The club belonged to KGHM, controlled by Schetyna's political proteges. Do you really want to fight the politicization of companies with him?"

-- UJAZDOWSKI'S REPLY: "To win elections against PiS, the opposition must be free of the weaknesses from before 2015, but the scale of what you are talking about is light-years away from how the current ruling camp is destroying standards." http://wiadomosci.dziennik.pl/polityka/artykuly/575294,kazimierz-michal-ujazdowski-o-po-pis-i-grzegorzu-schetynie.html

-- IT WAS ABOUT A MINI-MAJDAN - JACEK KARNOWSKI:"In this context, the lamentations of the opposition and parts of the media over the elementary security measures introduced by the parliamentary authorities sound particularly cynical. If not for these measures, perhaps parliament would simply cease to function, be paralyzed and blocked. And then a demand for early elections and the simultaneous resignation of the government could have appeared immediately. Events such as the December coup or the attempt to stage a 'mini-Maidan' in parliament must lead to special caution on the part of the Sejm and Senate authorities. The other side does not have clean intentions, and one cannot forget about this for a moment; every scenario, even seemingly unrealistic, must be considered. Especially since most commentators lamenting the 'closure of parliament' would be the first to shout, if they were in trouble, that they have only themselves to blame, because they should have seen what was brewing." https://wpolityce.pl/m/polityka/396324-ciekawe-ze-aktywnosc-opozycji-tak-czesto-krazy-wokol-mysli-o-zablokowaniu-czy-sparalizowaniu-parlamentu

-- THE RULERS WERE IN A DEAD END BUT WAŁĘSA HELPED - Marcin Fijołek: "For the rulers, on the other hand, this is a lesson in humility; another one in recent weeks. Once again, it turned out that the reserves of empathy, modesty, and humility on the side of the 'good change' camp are relatively quickly depleted. The statements of (fortunately, some) PiS politicians were strikingly similar to those we have heard more than once at the end of Civic Platform's rule, and the conviction that any opposition can be reduced to the 'squealing of elites of the Third Republic detached from the trough' will come back to bite them again and again. Just when it seemed the rulers had found themselves in a dead end, opposition politicians, led by Lech Wałęsa, came to their aid, who politicized this protest to the maximum."

-- PROTEST AS A TOOL TO BEAT UP PIS - Fijołek's conclusion: "These forty days of protest have not improved Polish politics. At some point, there was a little more sensitivity, a focus on specific problems. The interested parties themselves managed to 'snatch' a lot. But this picture was quickly destroyed, because the protest and its demands were reduced to the role of a tool to beat up the PiS camp. Like any tool that has ceased to be useful, it will soon end up in the attic." https://wpolityce.pl/m/polityka/396220-nauczka-lekcja-test-po-40-dniach-protestu-nie-ma-tu-wygranych-ale-kilka-politycznych-wnioskow-warto-wyciagnac

-- WAŁĘSA LEFT THE PROTESTERS WITH DOUBT - Krzysztof Karnkowski in GPC: "It is difficult to say what those occupying the Sejm were hoping for by inviting him, but they certainly did not achieve it. A week has passed, and they are no longer in the Sejm. Did the doubt that the former president must have left behind also play a role in this?" https://gpcodziennie.pl/90554-histerycznetonyopozycji.html

-- JAKUB MAJMUREK ON THE FACT THAT PI'S DEFEAT HAS NO BENEFICIARY - he writes in GW: "The Together party, which has the most comprehensive social program, is too weak and too little recognized to effectively gather the votes of those who care about establishing a government capable of solving their problems - the weak simply cannot afford the luxury of voting for a party testing the electoral threshold. The image defeat of PiS over the last 40 days therefore has no beneficiary on the Polish party scene."

-- SLD MIGHT BENEFIT - MAJMUREK: "SLD can benefit from it, which benefits from all of PiS's recent blunders, because voters have had time to forget about the countless slips and scandals from the Alliance's rule, and instead remember the relative peace and professionalism of politicians like Włodzimierz Cimoszewicz or Marek Belka."

-- MAJMUREK ON THE IMPULSE FROM THE PROTEST: "Today in Poland, various, seemingly weak and powerless groups can together find enough strength to force politicians to discuss a more solidaristic Poland. If the protest, suspended on Sunday, becomes an impulse to unleash the power of the powerless, then the 40 days of protest by people with disabilities can truly change Poland." http://wyborcza.pl/7,75968,23466749,szpetne-zwyciestwo-pis-te-40-dni-protestu-moze-trwale-zmienic.html

-- KATARZYNA KOLENDA-ZALESKA CRITICALLY OF PAD: "Then silence fell, which is impossible to understand. With this silence, the presidential couple gave consent to the humiliation of the weakest. To the shocking harassment they experienced – the absurd blocking of the parliamentary space, sending armed guards, denying them air, walks, the bathroom. One could not be more humiliated, and the First Lady and the President watched it in silence." http://wyborcza.pl/7,75968,23466837,andrzej-duda-zdezerterowal-wielki-pstrag-z-chicago-bedzie-symbolem.html

-- SŁAWOMIR SIERAKOWSKI: PIS HAS ALREADY WON AGAINST WOMEN LIKE THIS ONCE: "PiS has already won against women like this once before. The nurses protesting in 2007 were also forced to leave the government building at one point. They also treated the protesting women unfairly. They did not achieve what they wanted, but they gained public respect. PiS lost it. After which they lost power."

-- SIERAKOWSKI ON DETERING OTHER GROUPS: "The authorities will use this to deter other groups who come with wage demands. PiS has achieved its key objective. From now on, they will be able to send everyone away empty-handed, saying: if we could have given, we would have given to the disabled and their caregivers first." https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/tylko-w-onecie/protestujacy-wygrali-czy-przegrali-komentarz/1g570cd

-- GAZETA.PL ON THE OPPOSITION OVERHEATING - as Łukasz Rogojsz writes: "The ruling party politicians are fully aware of the opposition 'overheating' the impulses of successive social and professional groups. The opposition is completely unable to politically capitalize on subsequent protests. However, one cannot rely on this, because it will end someday - notes one of them. The fundamental problem of the opposition is its inability to generate new topics of dispute. The opposition reacts to what is happening - it joined both the protest of resident doctors and the protest of disabled people - but it cannot push PiS into defense on its own, adds Professor Antoni Dudek." http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/7,114884,23466253,odporni-na-gniew-suwerena-piec-powodow-dla-ktorych-protesty.html#MT

-- ZUZANNA DĄBROWSKA ON THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF VICTORY - she writes in RZ: "But perhaps the calculation has already been made and PiS sees that it was worth it anyway? The money stayed in their pockets, in the Sejm, Marshal Kuchciński can walk the corridors again, not bothered by people unworthy of being in the building. But somehow no one is happy. The politicians seem somewhat sad. Has the government felt the unbearable weight of victory?" http://www.rp.pl/Analizy/305289920-Dabrowska-Wladza-czuje-nieznosny-ciezar-wygranej.html&template=restricted

-- SCHEURING-WIELGUS: WE WERE AMATEURS IN POLITICS AND MADE SCHOOLBOY ERRORS - in an interview with Jan Smoleński in Krytyka: "However, none of us thought about it, because we were simply amateurs in politics and made schoolboy errors. Neither I nor Ryszard Petru will make such a mistake again. It cost us dearly, because at that moment something collapsed within Nowoczesna. If all hands had been on deck then, and everyone had worked together, like a team, to rebuild the leader's position and Nowoczesna's position, we would have won. Instead, some people decided they would only play for themselves and against Ryszard. Mr. Editor, but in reality, what is Petru's trip compared to the scuffles in the Sejm corridor with women, compared to the humiliation of the group of the weakest Poles for 40 days?"

-- SCHEURING ON BEING ABLE TO PERSUADE PETRU TO DO SOMETHING: "For example, on the issue of liberalizing abortion law. (...) Petru was in favor of Nowoczesna joining the 'Save the Women' committee. It was Katarzyna Lubnauer and Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz who stopped it, because they didn't want Nowoczesna to be labeled a 'leftist' party. I could never understand that. Especially since the structures of Nowoczesna are also in favor of liberalizing abortion law."

-- SCHEURING ON TALKING TO RAFALSKA: "when I came down from the Sejm rostrum, I took Minister Rafalska aside and urged her to rebel, to say, against the government she is in, that money must be found for the demands of the disabled. I felt that she wanted to do it and stand her ground, but she was afraid. And then I realized I was talking to myself."

-- CIVIC PLATFORM CREATES PROGRAMS IN THE OFFICE - says Scheuring-Wielgus: "I'll give an example from Toruń. When we decided to run for the city council, we conducted research on what people expect from city authorities. It took us six months. We created a participatory program for Toruń. Civic Platform, on the other hand, created its program in the office."

-- JSW ON A SOCIALLY LIBERAL PARTY: "I am talking about the establishment of a socially liberal party that pursues socially responsible policy, but I cannot say more about it, as discussions are still ongoing. I don't want to describe politics in terms of right or left, because for me this division is already outdated. Besides, as Petru said, nothing will happen before the local elections. A non-aggression pact is in effect. PiS is the enemy. A virus that infects the state." http://krytykapolityczna.pl/kraj/scheuring-wielgus-bylismy-amatorami-w-polityce-i-popelnialismy-szkolne-bledy/

-- ŁUKASZ ROGOJSZ IN GAZETA.PL ON NOWOCZESNA'S FLOP: "- Kaśka and Kamila achieved what they wanted. Ryszard left the party himself, he wasn't thrown out, which would have looked terrible externally. But now there is no one to blame for stumbles, poor polls, problems - says another of our interlocutors." http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/7,114884,23453543,krajobraz-po-petru-w-nowoczesnej-pusta-kasa-slabe-sondaze.html

-- TOXIC SMOKE - GW's front page: "Since the beginning of the year, nearly 70 waste landfills have caught fire in Poland. This is not a coincidence! The number of fires is increasing since China stopped accepting waste from abroad. This is the easiest way to get rid of accumulated trash and make space for new. (...) In four months of the year, the Ministry of Environment counted as many as 62 fires! Only in April and May - about 20 in total. Hundreds of thousands of tons of toxic waste and hazardous substances are burning everywhere." http://wyborcza.pl/7,155287,23467032,w-calej-polsce-plona-skladowiska-odpadow-chiny-nie-chca-smieci.html

-- PIOTR WÓJCIK ON BOSAK'S FEARS REGARDING INDIANS - he writes in GPC:"It is difficult to assume that 8,000 Indians who came here to work, which Krzysztof Bosak saw with his own eyes, could pose any cultural threat to a nearly 40-million-strong society, which also has a very distinct and strong identity. Of course, the phenomenon of immigration to Poland itself, which has clearly accelerated recently, should be subject to a thorough public debate so that we do not make mistakes like other Western European countries. But so far, there is no evidence that such a thing is looming." https://gpcodziennie.pl/90553-przesadzonelekimlodegoendeka.html
