-- PMM IN ZABRZE BESIDE MARIAN ZEMBALA - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2019/09/26/ -- WILL A COMMISSIONER REPLACE ZDANOWSKA IN CIVIC PLATFORM? - JEDYNKA OF DZIENNIK ŁÓDZKI. -- THE MOST IMPORTANT CONTROLLER DID NOT CHECK HIS SON'S COMPANY - Jedynka of Fakt. -- WE HAVE A STATE ON A STRING, THE CONVERSATION WITH A GANGSTER SHOWS THE FALL OF THE STATE - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “Even assuming that the head of NIK is crystal clear and tells the truth, one must accept the thesis that we have a state on a string. And the rulers, who promised its reform, have completely failed. A man adorned with gold, running a hotel by the hour in a tenement house that belonged to the Deputy Minister of Finance, now the head of NIK, picks up the phone and says he is calling him – Marian Banaś. He has a conversation with someone and they are on a first-name basis. Maybe he's bluffing? No, Banaś himself dispels doubts, admitting that he knows the man and that he really called on the day a TVN journalist visited him. This situation is unbelievable. It shows the fall of the state. This is the most important thing in the entire affair, not whether everything in Minister Banaś's declarations adds up or not”. -- THE STATE IS IN AN EVEN WORSE CONDITION THAN UNDER THE PREDECESSORS - SZUŁDRZYŃSKI CONTINUES: “PiS came to power by mocking the situation where the most important people in the Platform government were recorded by two waiters, a state that existed only in theory. PiS, which bought the most modern surveillance equipment and is obsessed with special services, making the supervisor, Mariusz Kamiński, almost omnipotent, has brought the state into an even worse condition than under its predecessors. And that is quite an achievement.” https://archiwum.rp.pl/artykul/1412732-Panstwo-teoretyczne-PiS.html -- LOST THE SOVEREIGN, GAINED A PIMP - PIOTR MĄCZYŃSKI IN GW: “Let's imagine that I, Piotr Miączyński, having a generous donor with a tenement house and a promising tenant, send a question to the National Revenue Administration regarding my case: can I act like the President of NIK, Marian Banaś?” http://wyborcza.biz/biznes/7,147768,25233915,co-powinien-w-sprawie-banasia-sprawdzic-fiskus-na-razie-zyskal.html -- PiS POLITICIANS ARE NO LONGER DEFENDING BANASIA SO DECISIVELY - ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ: “Conversations with PiS politicians about the 'hourly rooms' scandal in the tenement house of NIK head Marian Banaś provide interesting observations. First of all, they are no longer defending the NIK president as decisively as in the first hours after the TVN report.” -- PiS RANKS ARE RATIONALIZING THE SITUATION BY FOCUSING ON THE AMBITIOUS SON - STANKIEWICZ CONTINUES: “an informal conversation with MPs who know Banaś better shows how the PiS ranks are rationalizing the rather awkward situation. The main reason for the troubles of the honest, iron-willed Marian, is said to be his son, who loves money and positions. In party narratives, he appears as a demon who tempted his father – an honest to the core controller and auditor, as well as an activist of the ultra-conservative church organization Opus Dei – and entangled him in the hourly rates. Whether the NIK president got himself into trouble or owes it to his offspring is politically irrelevant. After all, PiS has taken responsibility for both Banases, giving the senior ministerial and presidential portfolios, and the junior lucrative positions in state-owned companies.” https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/tylko-w-onecie/newsletter-onetu-andrzej-stankiewicz-dobry-banas-i-zly-banas/qq191db -- JACHIRA SHOULD NOT BE ON THE KO LISTS - KATARZYNA LUBNAUER IN CONVERSATION WITH JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ: “My view on Klaudia Jachira's presence on the lists has been clear for a long time. She should not be on the KO lists. It is quite obvious to me that certain boundaries should not be crossed in politics. The only way for someone not to be on the list is for them to withdraw. She has apologized. She also addressed her words, those happenings with sausages, comparing PiS voters to people with disabilities. I never liked such behavior. Such actions have always been alien to my aesthetics. I will remind you that Jachira is not from the Modern party's pool.” https://www.rp.pl/Wywiady-i-rozmowy/309259894-Lubnauer-PiS-nakreca-spirale-nienawisci.html -- JACHIRA IS SCHETYNA'S PALIKOT - MICHAŁ KARNOWSKI: “In the new term, Jachira will try to repeat Palikot's maneuver – to destroy all debate, to undermine the dignity of the Sejm, to organize vulgar scandals. She is to be just as rude as she has been in recent years, for which Mr. Schetyna personally and publicly thanked her, only in a parliamentary setting. That is why Michnik's newspaper defends Jachira today with the same passion as it promoted Palikot.” https://wpolityce.pl/m/polityka/465387-schetyna-probuje-wprowadzic-do-sejmu-kolejnego-palikota -- AS LONG AS TVP EMPLOYS HATERS AND PiS GIVES PLACES ON LISTS TO COMPROMISED POLITICIANS, THEY HAVE NO MORAL RIGHT TO LECTURE ANYONE - JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ: “If Polish public life is to be at a higher level, the rulers and public media should be the first to set an example that they do not tolerate aggression in public life. As long as TVP employs haters, and PiS gives places on lists to compromised politicians, they have no moral right to lecture anyone.” https://www.rp.pl/Analizy/309259896-Nizinkiewicz-Nienawisc-w-sluzbie-partii-rzadzacej-i-mediow-publicznych.html -- PiS HAS UNWITTINGLY RECOGNIZED PARTNERSHIP UNIONS - Klara Klinger and Tomasz Żółciak in DGP: “Although PiS does not intend to legalize informal unions, it is preparing provisions concerning them. New facilitations, as well as obligations, will cover both heterosexual and homosexual couples. In the act on the transparency of politicians' assets adopted by the Sejm, the catalog of persons required to disclose their earnings has been expanded to include those 'living in cohabitation' with a politician. According to the Supreme Court's interpretation, this refers to a relationship 'in which spiritual (emotional), physical, and economic ties (joint household) exist simultaneously.'” https://wiadomosci.dziennik.pl/polityka/artykuly/608644,zwiazki-partnerskie-pis-majatek-jawnosc.html -- THEY HAD TO YIELD TO SOMEONE MORE APPEALING TO THE HEART, IT IS A CONSCIOUS CHOICE OF THE LEFT - PIOTR TRUDNOWSKI: “A group of left-wing experts attached to Enlightenment ideals of rationality has capitulated to the reality of political psychology. The 'elephants' of intuition, emotions, and moral preconceptions have trampled the foundations of naive imaginations about democratic politics in the 21st century, in which educated citizens guided by subtle ideas and rational arguments were supposed to be able to choose what is 'objectively best for them'. The symbolic culmination of this process is the fact that the former global icons of environmentalism, i.e. scientists and left-wing politicians, had to yield to someone more appealing to the heart – teenage Greta Thunberg, an innocent girl traveling the world with a handwritten banner. Emotions, you fool, emotions – wrote the president of the Jagiellonian Club a few weeks ago in the pages of the magazine 'Plus Minus' of the daily 'Rzeczpospolita'.” https://klubjagiellonski.pl/2019/09/25/trudnowski-o-grecie-thunberg-to-swiadomy-wybor-lewicy-by-zaczac-grac-na-emocjach/ -- BIRTHDAYS: Barbara Toruńczyk, Krzysztof Michałkiewicz.
