-- ALEX DANZIG, ORGANIZER OF ISRAELI YOUTH TRIPS TO POLAND, WAS MURDERED BY HAMAS - TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY REMEMBERS A CONVERSATION WITH HIM: Lessons about the Holocaust are very important, but you cannot build memory solely on suffering. If we are to recreate dialogue between Poles and Jews, we must also understand the truth about ourselves – where I come from and who I am. https://www.tygodnikpowszechny.pl/opowiadam-polske-na-nowo-169873 -- "OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND THE SENATE, SENATORS SHOULD REJECT ALL AMENDMENTS THAT ARE PRESENTED AS RIDERS BY A TEAM ACTING WITHOUT ANY PROCEDURE MINUTES BEFORE THE VOTE. AND DEMAND A THOROUGH LEGISLATIVE PROCESS ON THIS MATTER" - MAREK TATAŁA, PRESIDENT OF THE FOUNDATION FOR ECONOMIC FREEDOM, ON TWITTER: https://x.com/MarekTatala/status/1815434922255151196 -- "WITHOUT THIS, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD." HOŁOWNIA ON THE COALITION MEETING - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2024/07/23/ -- KO POLITICIAN ON PSL: "IN THIS CLIMATE, THERE WILL BE NO DECRIMINALIZATION OF ABORTION OR CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS" - ACCORDING TO IWONA SZPALA IN GW: "- In this climate, there will be no decriminalization of abortion, civil partnerships, let alone liberalization of abortion – begins a conversation with an important politician from Civic Coalition. On Saturday, PSL leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, speaking at the party's national council, reminded his government partners. KO heard that thanks to PSL, Donald Tusk became prime minister, there was also talk of left-wing ideas, and that PSL is not afraid of leftists." -- IN TRZECIA DROGA, THEY SAY THAT THE LEFT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURRENT CRISIS - FURTHERMORE, SZPALA: "- This is a party that, for its own political gain, pushes projects through the Sejm that have no chance of support from the entire coalition. And this provokes crises – complains a politician from Trzecia Droga." https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,31163997,polityk-ko-o-psl-w-takim-klimacie-nie-bedzie-depenalizacji.html -- SMILING POLAND IN STATE-OWNED COMPANIES - PIOTR GURSZTYN ON WPOLITYCE: "Surely every supporter of smiling Poland is aware that a nominee of Donald Tusk is not the same as a nominee of PiS. These matters should not be compared, and if someone does, it means they are a PiS supporter who has been detached from the trough, a symmetrist, a Putin bot from the vicinity of Pskov, or even a fascist." https://wpolityce.pl/polityka/699774-nominaci-donalda-tuska-usmiechnieta-polska-w-spolkach -- ANDRZEJ DOMANSKI'S GREAT REFORM DID NOT WARM THE HEARTS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. "IT'S NOT ENOUGH" - PAULINA BŁAZIAK AND KATARZYNA DYBIŃSKA IN INTERIA: "- The changes in the principles of financing local government units presented by the Ministry of Finance generate a slight increase in revenue; in Toruń's case, it will amount to 1.9% (approx. PLN 21 million), which only slightly compensates for the revenue shortfall resulting from the introduction of the Polish Deal – explains Marcin Centkowski, spokesperson for the mayor of Toruń, to Interia." https://biznes.interia.pl/gospodarka/news-wielka-reforma-andrzeja-domanskiego-nie-rozgrala-serc-samor,nId,7673539 -- BIRTHDAYS: Robert Kropiwnicki, Waldy Dzikowski, Marcin Witko, Marcin Wójcicki, Karol Darmoros.
