THIS BECOMES PARTICULARLY PAINFUL WHEN ANIMAL SUFFERING IS INVOLVED - KATARZYNA SKRZYDŁOWSKA-KALUKIN IN KULTURA LIBERALNA: “Podhale is a showcase of freedom in a version unburdened by any other values. It should be toured like a miniature park, to warn against the falsehood of this freedom, thanks to which everything is permitted, nothing is necessary. Using the example of Podhale, one can see what would happen if Konfederacja ruled Poland. This becomes particularly painful when animal suffering is involved.” https://kulturaliberalna.pl/2024/05/23/skrzydlowska-kalukin-podhale-region-ze-snow-konfederacji/ -- THE PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE WILL SOON WANT TO CHARGE MPS OF SUWERENNA POLSKA IN THE INVESTIGATION CONCERNING THE JUSTICE FUND - KAMIL DZIUBKA AND SEBASTIAN BIAŁACH IN ONE: “The prosecutor's office will soon want to charge MPs of Suwerenna Polska in the investigation concerning the Justice Fund. According to Onet's information, investigators have far more evidence of crimes than just the testimony of Tomasz Mraz, a former fund official and a trusted man from Zbigniew Ziobro's circle, who has cooperated with the services.” https://www.onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/petla-zaciska-sie-wokol-ziobrystow-prokuratura-szykuje-uderzenie/637h9wk,79cfc278 -- THE ONLY GOAL OF THIS HUNT IS TO KILL ZBIGNIEW ZIOBRO - MICHAŁ KARNOWSKI: “After the catastrophe of the 'investigative commissions,' the narrative surrounding the Justice Fund is falling apart. The sole purpose of this hunt is to kill Zbigniew Ziobro – because it's about forcing him to interrupt his treatment again, which will almost certainly mean the death of the former Minister of Justice. The regime did this once before, carrying out a series of brutal raids on his home in Jeruzal. As I understand it, to confirm that politicians from Solidarna Polska visited and discussed various matters. Where are we? What kind of accusations are these? What kind of scandal? What kind of procedures? Where is the law? Are commissions in the Bolshevik style, rather than legally operating prosecutors, now used to administer justice? Do they replace courts? And are politicians from the opposing camp 'working' on witness testimonies? What is the value of all this?” https://wpolityce.pl/polityka/692744-jedyny-cel-tej-nagonki-to-zabicie-zbigniewa-ziobro -- LESS THAN THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE EUROPEAN ELECTIONS, PIS IS STUCK IN INTERNAL CONFLICTS, SCANDALS, AND RECURRING ISSUES THAT COULD HARM THE LARGEST OPPOSITION PARTY - JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ. -- THE PARTY IS IN A CORNER. IT MUST FACE INCREASINGLY STRONG BLOWS THAT ARE FALLING UPON IT. AND POLLS MORE AND MORE OFTEN SHOW THAT THE CIVIC COALITION IS INCREASING ITS LEAD OVER PIS - WRITES NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ: “Also problematic for PiS are the appearances before parliamentary investigative commissions. On Wednesday, Mateusz Morawiecki appeared again before the commission for the envelope election. On Friday, Jarosław Kaczyński is to answer questions from the commission. Regardless of the rhetorical style of both politicians, they must account for many issues that, in the opinion of Poles, could be damaging to PiS. The party is in a corner. It must face increasingly strong blows that are falling upon it. And polls increasingly show that the Civic Coalition is increasing its lead over PiS.” https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art40421391-jacek-nizinkiewicz-dlaczego-pis-chce-ukryc-problemy-ktorych-lawinowo-przybywa -- A YELLOW CARD FOR DONALD TUSK'S GOVERNMENT - JAKUB CEGLARZ IN BUSINESS INSIDER: “The economy under Donald Tusk's government is faltering – according to 38.7% of Poles. 37.6% of respondents disagree. These are the most important conclusions from a survey commissioned by Business Insider Polska and conducted by UCE Research. However, the point of view largely depends on the respondent's political views. (...) The survey asked Poles how they assess the state of the economy under Donald Tusk's government. Here, the prime minister has no reason to rejoice. Slightly over 12% of respondents answered 'definitely good,' and as many as 20.18% answered 'definitely bad.' There are more negative indicators than positive ones. 38.7% of respondents present critical opinions about the state of the economy (20.18% 'definitely' and 18.5% 'rather'). 37.6% of us disagree (12.01% 'definitely' and 25.59% 'rather' respectively). Approximately 24% of voters from the ruling coalition of the Left and Third Way notice the not-so-good state of the economy. However, they are in the minority, as in both cases nearly half of the supporters of these parties assess it positively.” https://businessinsider.com.pl/gospodarka/rzad-donalda-tuska-z-zolta-kartka-to-sie-wyborcom-nie-podoba-tylko-u-nas/2lctc1d -- PIS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, BUT THIS CANNOT BE DONE WITHOUT GRAVITY, SPECIFICS, AND EFFECTIVENESS, WHICH ARE LACKING ESPECIALLY IN INVESTIGATIVE COMMISSIONS, WHICH ARE COMPLETELY UNPREPARED - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ IN INTERIA: “PiS should be held accountable, but this cannot be done without seriousness, specifics, and effectiveness, which are lacking especially in investigative commissions, completely unprepared for the expected obstruction by witnesses. The public is therefore exposed to images of crude brawls and not always witty jokes.” -- WHILE THE POSTULATE OF STATE SECULARISM COULD BE RATIONAL, IF IT WERE NOT POLITICALLY RISKY DURING AN ELECTION PERIOD, THE SIMULTANEOUS OFFICIAL IMPOSITION OF NEWSPEAK RELATED TO GENDER IDENTITY IS AN ELEMENT OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS TERROR AND THE MADNESS OF THE ERA - SZUBARTOWICZ CONTINUES: “Meanwhile, the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, decided that religious symbols would not be displayed in Warsaw offices, which has become a gift for the right-wing, which is already talking about a new 'religious war' and an 'attack on the cross,' although the matter is rather local. However, while the postulate of state secularism could be rational, if it were not politically risky during an election period, the simultaneous official imposition of newspeak related to gender identity is an element of political correctness terror and the madness of the era.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-premiero-prezydent,nId,7522055 -- A CURIOUS SITUATION IN THE COALITION. "I SIMPLY FEEL STUPID" - WE HEAR FROM ONE OF THE PLATFORM POLITICIANS - KAMIL DZIUBKA IN ONE: “Although a month has passed since the local government elections, the ruling coalition has still not agreed on the appointments to the management boards of some voivodeships. Mazovia and Łódź still do not have marshals. The parties of the October 15th coalition are blaming each other. – I simply feel stupid that it looks like this – we hear from one of the Platform politicians.” https://www.onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/kuriozalna-sytuacja-w-koalicji-jest-mi-po-prostu-glupio/kqe8klr,79cfc278 -- FRASYNIUK SHARPLY ON THE DEAL-MAKING OF PO WITH NON-PARTISANS: A SPECTACLE OF ARROGANCE AND LACK OF RESPECT FOR VOTERS - IN AN INTERVIEW WITH BEATA MACIEJEWSKA IN GW: “However, the degradation of Platform is terrifying; the party simply doesn't exist. Instead, there are several interest groups that are playing each other off. This is a disease that plagues the entire group. (...) It's so disgusting that if I were in Jaros's place, I would resign my mandate and say: I will not be in such a sell-out party. This is humiliating and shouldn't happen even in a neighborhood, because you don't betray your colleagues. Platform is pursuing crude politics I never expected to see at this level; another position, a few more jobs in state-owned companies, and everything will be fine.” -- JAGODNO RESIDENTS STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO VOTE FOR A DECENT STATE, FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN POLITICIANS AND VOTERS, AND PLATFORM IN LOWER SILESIA TURNED ITS BACK ON US ON THE SECOND DAY - FRASYNIUK CONTINUES IN GW: “Get used to it? Never. The residents of Jagodno stood in the middle of the night to vote for a decent state, for communication between politicians and voters, and Platform in Lower Silesia turned its back on us on the second day. It suddenly turned out that they are after the same thing as PiS politicians, who, moreover, did not hide it. And the new authorities pretend not to be stepping into the same shoes.” -- FRANKLY SPEAKING, PO IS DOING THE SAME AS THE POLISH UNITED WORKERS' PARTY, WHICH CONVINCED CITIZENS THAT POLITICS IS THE OLDEST PROFESSION IN THE WORLD - SAYS FRASYNIUK: “Frankly speaking, PO is doing the same as the Polish United Workers' Party, which convinced citizens that politics is the oldest profession in the world, therefore 'dear citizens, don't touch this dirt, we will do it for you.' https://wroclaw.wyborcza.pl/wroclaw/7,35771,30994894,frasyniuk-ostro-o-ukladaniu-sie-po-z-bezpartyjnymi-spektakl.html -- I WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO HOW WE ARE BEING CORNERED. THE FIRST FATALITY FROM MINES LAID ON THE POLISH BORDER WILL BE A SUCCESS FOR PUTIN AND LUKASHENKO. LET'S DEFEAT THE EASTERN TYRANTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR VALUES, NOT HIS - JAROSŁAW KUISZ IN INTERIA: “I want to draw attention to how we are being cornered. The first fatality from mines laid on the Polish border will be a success for Putin and Lukashenko. If it is a child, the effect will be dramatic – for the victim and for ourselves. Although the need to defend the borders of the European Union seems obvious, as politicians in Poland, Germany, and France are saying today, nevertheless, reflection on the limits of border defense seems necessary. Let us defeat the Eastern tyrants in accordance with our values, not his.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-czy-sa-granice-bronienia-granicy,nId,7524624 -- PIS VOTERS REACT WORSE TO KURSKI'S CANDIDACY THAN TO OBAJTEK'S - GW POLL: “Among voters, only the PiS electorate stands out. Only here is there a majority in favor of Obajtek running – 65%. But 23% say that the former CEO of PKN Orlen should not end up in the European Parliament. PiS voters also react worse to Kurski's candidacy than to Obajtek's. Because 50% approve of his running, and 32% respond that he should not run.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,30993895,sondaz-dla-wyborczej-czy-wyborcy-pis-sa-zadowoleni-ze-obajtek.html -- BIRTHDAYS: Justyna Kopińska, Hanna Foltyn-Kubicka, Adam Hofman, Grzegorz Sztolcman, Marek Wikiński, Małgorzata Okońska-Zaremba.
