-- RABIEJ AGAIN ON ADOPTION - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2019/11/27 -- JACEK HARŁUKOWICZ IN GW ON BRUNO KWIECIEŃ'S TESTIMONY IN A SECRET TRIAL, STATING THAT ABW AGENTS GUIDED HIM IN THE PREPARATION OF AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON PARLIAMENT: “Brunon Kwiecień, who was found dead in his cell in August, testified during his secret trial that ABW agents, posing as terrorists, gave him an ultimatum: either he would develop a plan to blow up the Sejm, or they would kill him and his entire family. During the trial, Kwiecień did not hide that he did undertake the preparation of the plan, but claims he did so on the orders of individuals who later turned out to be ABW agents.” -- KWIECIEŃ TESTIFIED THAT HIS ARREST SHOWED THE NECESSITY OF MAINTAINING ABW'S CURRENT POWERS: “When asked who his arrest helped, Kwiecień replied: – It showed the necessity of the Internal Security Agency's functioning, because a reform of the special services was approaching. It's true – at that time, the PO-PSL government was considering changing the scope of ABW's competencies.” -- HARŁUKOWICZ ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF KWIECIEŃ'S DEATH IN HIS CELL: “The convicted man was serving his sentence in Wrocław. He caused no trouble, kept to himself, and didn't associate with hardened criminals. He was waiting for his release and return to normal life. During his imprisonment, he did not fall ill, complain of any ailments, or take medication. His family visited him throughout. In June, he filed a request for early release. It was not processed, as on August 6, 2019, Kwiecień was found dead in his cell. The experts cited 'massive intracranial hemorrhage (subarachnoid)' originating from vessels at the base of the brain as the cause of death. The deceased was 52 years old. The experts ruled out the possibility that third parties contributed to his death. How, then, did the hemorrhage occur? It is unknown.” -- HARŁUKOWICZ ON HOW THE ARREST WAS PRESENTED AS AN ABW SUCCESS: “When in November 2012, the services arrested Brunon Kwiecień in Krakow, they presented it as a huge success: the ABW had managed to locate and apprehend a man who intended to blow up parliament. This was the first case of its kind in Polish history. The agency was praised by the then Prime Minister Donald Tusk: – The curse expressed in the proverb 'a wise Pole after the damage' proved untrue this time.” https://wroclaw.wyborcza.pl/wroclaw/7,35771,25452003,brunon-kwiecien-podczas-procesu-twierdzil-ze-abw-kazalo-mu.html -- DZIENNIK BAŁTYCKI ON THE FRONT PAGE ABOUT THE PERSONNEL MERRY-GO-ROUND IN STATE-OWNED COMPANIES STARTING AGAIN: https://www.egazety.pl/polska-press/e-wydanie-polska-dziennik-baltycki.html -- THE TAX OFFICE HAS A NEW HOBBY - BLOCKING BUSINESS ACCOUNTS - FRONT PAGE OF GAZETA POMORSKA: https://www.egazety.pl/polska-press/e-wydanie-gazeta-pomorska.html -- MARSHAL GRODZKI IN AN INTERVIEW WITH DGP ABOUT THE EXCISE TAX LAW - THE SENATE WILL NOT BE AN OBSTACLE BUT WILL PASS THE LAW ACCORDING TO GOOD LEGISLATION: “I assume it will be sent as an so-called 'around the budget' law, so the Senate will have 20 days for potential amendments. Who prevented the Sejm from passing the law earlier? It has always been known that alcohol and tobacco products are harmful. And if this law were to serve to limit their consumption, it should have been passed long ago. However, I have the impression that it's more about saving the budget. I assure you that the Senate will not be an obstacle, but it will pass the law according to good legislation.” -- GRODZKI ON THE IDEA OF HIRING DOCTORS FROM UKRAINE: “It's an interesting proposal. I'm not saying 'no.' There is a large Ukrainian diaspora in Szczecin, and doctors from Ukraine used to come here for internships. The problem is that their quality varied greatly. From professionals to individuals about whom I wondered how they obtained their diplomas. Sometimes they read an EKG upside down. For me, the most important thing will be to establish strict supervision over their work.” -- GRODZKI ON THE IDEA OF VOIVODESHIP HEALTH COUNCILS: “Hospitals. One of the problems is that almost every facility has a different founding body: a minister, the head of the Ministry of Interior, the head of the Ministry of National Defence, local governments. This causes regulatory chaos, for example, regarding the unnecessary construction of new units. We are considering the idea of either transferring all hospital units under a single founding body – this is the hard version – or establishing something like voivodeship health councils. Representatives of all founding bodies would sit on them, plus the minister as an arbiter.” -- GRODZKI WILL VOTE FOR KIDAWĄ - FRAGMENT FROM DGP INTERVIEW: “I consider everyone to be good, just from a different perspective. - Very diplomatically. Let me put it this way: who will you vote for? - For Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska.” -- GRODZKI ON SCHETYNA AND HIS EXCEPTIONAL INTELLECT: "Members of the party will decide this in a very democratic way, because in Civic Platform, according to the statute, all members vote. We will see what the election campaign will be like. Fortunately, there is no voting today. In politics, there are many stigmas, and today Chairman Schetyna is somewhat stigmatized. When I talk to him privately, he is a person of exceptional intellect. https://wiadomosci.dziennik.pl/opinie/artykuly/613886,operacje-planowe-rzadziej-sa-smiertelne.html -- JADWIGA EMILEWICZ CONFIRMS IN DGP THAT THERE WILL BE INCENTIVES FOR ROBOTIZATION: “Pro-development relief, automation and robotization relief – Minister Jadwiga Emilewicz talks in an interview with DGP about a package of solutions intended to mobilize companies to invest, especially in modern technologies.

Judges are not looking at politicians; they have stood up to defend the rule of law.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,75968,25450410,sedziowie-mowia-dosc-tego.html -- ADRIANA ROZWADOWSKA ON MINIMUM PENSIONS AND PRECARIOUS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS - WRITES IN GW: “Instead of protesting the increase of pensions barely sufficient for a living wage and vehemently defending those whose pensions are enough to spend their old age under the palms, and attributing laziness to 75% of society, politicians and economists should rather start by eliminating precarious employment contracts. These are 1.2 million contracts that are the sole basis for labor performance, which they have defended for years due to their 'flexibility' (only for one side). And immediately after, they should focus on finding solutions for the future – because the current system will sooner or later end in a human catastrophe.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,155290,25449516,emerytura-maksymalna-sprawiedliwosc-tylko-w-jedna-strone.html -- PIOTR STASIŃSKI IN GW ON GALLOWS: “Dear Citizens, let us now hang portraits of Ziobro, Kaczyński, Morawiecki, and Duda on gallows in the squares and market places of Polish cities and towns.

It wasn't a decision, it just happened – revealed the moved PSL MP. – These children were certainly very desired, precisely because we couldn't have them for a very long time – he emphasized and added that he supports financing in vitro procedures from local government budgets. – Not everyone can afford it, and these are quite expensive things – argued Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski. – We lost many children, for us, in vitro was the only chance to have them. I will always support in vitro, I support co-financing of in vitro from local governments. It's a procedure that can give a chance to tens of thousands of couples. We are no longer planning children, my wife is already of a certain age... – Bartoszewski told us.” https://www.se.pl/wiadomosci/polityka/bartoszewski-zdecydowal-sie-na-in-vitro-stracilismy-wiele-dzieci-poruszajace-wyznanie-wideo-aa-vGKK-Ssc3-yEzX.html -- BIRTHDAYS: Agnieszka Holland, Wiesław Walendziak, Anna Kamińska, Stanisław Gawłowski.
