-- ACCORDING TO MONIKA OLEJNIK, CINEMAS AND THE INTERNET IN POLAND EXIST THANKS TO TVN: “I have the impression that not all politicians remember that it was at TVN's initiative that the internet developed in Poland, cinemas were established, and a system for financing Polish films was created.”

-- ACCESS TO CDA.PL THREATENED DUE TO COPYRIGHT LAW: “In the assessment of CDA's management board, these changes could significantly burden the company financially. The amount of payments depends on the table of remuneration rates, established by individual collective rights management organizations (OZZ). Currently, the management board is unable to predict the final royalty values that will be determined as a result of negotiations with OZZs after the adoption of the act.”

-- I REMEMBER WE CONCLUDED THE FIRST FOUR PROMOTIONAL AGREEMENTS WITH ONET AND WP - TOMASZ MRAZ ON THE FUND OF JUSTICE IN OKO.PRESS: “When the machinery of spending money on advertising in the media started, there were three people in the Fund's promotional team. We were victims of what was happening there. It was our boss, Deputy Minister Marcin Romanowski (pictured above), who told us which media company and for how much we should sign agreements. I remember we signed the first four promotional agreements with Onet, WP, Time SA, and Fratria.”

-- GERMAN SOFT POWER, ON THE OTHER HAND, CAN COUNT ON THE SUPPORT OF LIBERAL-LEFT ELITES. BUT WE ARE SOMEWHERE ELSE TODAY: POLES HAVE ASPIRATIONS, THEY ALSO LOOK AT THEIR STATE DIFFERENTLY, RECOGNIZING ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CAPABILITY AFTER THE OUTBREAK OF WAR IN UKRAINE AND EXPECTING RESPECT FROM NEIGHBORS - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “German soft power, on the other hand, can count on the support of liberal-left elites. But we are somewhere else today: Poles have aspirations, they also look at their state differently, recognizing its significance and capability after the outbreak of war in Ukraine and expecting respect from neighbors. 80 percent of comments – analysts from Polityka w Sieci calculate – are critical after the German Chancellor's visit. Fewer and fewer buyers are found for platitudes about 'gestures' and 'efforts' and nice photographs. Instead, there is demand for specifics. So, what will German-Polish partnership really be based on?”

-- OLAF SCHOLZ IS A POLITICIAN LACKING CHARISMA, LOST, MOST LIKELY WITHOUT A FUTURE. IF POLAND YIELDS TO SUCH A CHANCELLOR, HOW WILL IT COPE WHEN HE IS REPLACED BY SOMEONE STRONGER AND COMPLETELY HOSTILE TO IT? - Flieger's conclusion in RZ.

-- KACZYŃSKI HAD TO SWALLOW IT - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “So it turns out that Jarosław Kaczyński does not have absolute power in the party. He is unable to pacify local rebellion, he had to yield. Local activists are simply not afraid of him. They know that if the next elections are held in five years, Kaczyński will already be 80 years old and the chance that he will still be at the head of PiS and arranging candidate lists is small enough to risk open rebellion. And Kaczyński had to swallow it.”

-- EVEN 4142 PEOPLE WILL GO TO THE STREETS AT PKP.CARGO - WRITES ONET: “The management board of PKP Cargo announced that by September 30, they will lay off a maximum of 4142 employees as part of group redundancies. For some, this is a well-thought-out decision that could save the Polish national rail freight carrier. For others, it is a blind action that will only bring further problems to the company. — Two weeks ago, the president said there was no money for severance pay, and today he found it. We are talking about millions. What is this all about?! — railway workers ask.”

-- WHY DO WE LOVE THE ANTISEMIT KOLBE SO MUCH? - TEXT BY TOMASZ ŻUKOWSKI IN KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA: “Kolbe's magazines had a wide reach, spread hatred, and did much harm by preparing the Polish Catholic community for the upcoming Holocaust. Thanks to this, Kolbe turned out to be an even better candidate for a popular saint. Not despite being an antisemite, but precisely because he was one. As a victim of the Nazis, he became proof that Polish antisemitism had nothing to do with genocide. Although this is simply untrue – Kolbe's death at the hands of the Nazis does not change the fact that his activities facilitated the implementation of the 'final solution' – his image fulfilled and still fulfills its function. Acquittal springs from Jewish ashes like a Deus ex machina. Nothing like that happened. A cloud of people went over the country, from a big cloud a small rain, one tear.”

-- ANTISEMITES UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER WITHOUT WORDS, AND THE ALLEGED INFERIORITY OF JEWS IS THEIR FAVORITE TOPIC AND OBSESSION. SOMETHING LIKE AN AXIS AROUND WHICH ALL THIS MADNESS REVOLVES. THE IMAGES OF FATHER KOLBE FIT INTO THIS CONTEXT AND ARE ITS PRODUCT - CONTINUES KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA: “The comparison embedded in Kolbe's image makes his depictions essentially antisemitic. Purists will accuse me of exaggeration, because nowhere is it mentioned that Kolbe is better, and Jews are not mentioned here at all. They are not, because there is no need. The meaning of social representations is not limited to what is literally contained in them. They function and have meaning in a network of overlapping and cross-referencing senses. Antisemites understand each other without words, and the alleged inferiority of Jews is their favorite topic and obsession. Something like an axis around which all this madness revolves. The images of Father Kolbe fit into this context and are its product. Ignoring it is burying one's head in the sand.”
