PIS MP TWEETS FROM COMMITTEE - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2024/07/26/ -- WILL TAXES RISE - ANNA CIEŚLAK-WRÓBLEWSKA IN RZ: “– Everything indicates that Minister Domański will be the first minister in history to exceed 60% debt. This will be an interesting "puzzle" for constitutionalists. Was there a delict or not? I've seen various opinions – warns Dudek on platform X. – The situation is not rosy, especially since we are in an excessive deficit procedure. We will learn the details of the adjustments in November. But since the government is already increasing budget burdens, the question remains what adjustments it plans on the revenue side, i.e., taxes – concludes Zieliński.” https://www.rp.pl/budzet-i-podatki/art40866261-nowelizowac-budzet-czy-nie-rzad-ma-powazny-dylemat -- GERMAN ARROGANCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “What else, if not falsifying history, is calling the assassination attempt on Hitler a "uprising", and right before August 1st? German arrogance knows no bounds. Just like Polish hospitality, which we can be proud of. But it is not synonymous with agreeing to have one's salon demolished.” https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art40866891-estera-flieger-niemiecka-bezczelnosc-nie-zna-granic -- HOW CLEANING UP AFTER PIS WIPED OUT WOMEN'S AND MINORITY RIGHTS - AGNIESZKA GRAFF AND ELŻBIETA KOROLCZUK IN OKO.PRESS: “Women's rights were a constant theme in the election campaign. After the elections, it turned out that women's and minority rights are at the bottom of a long list of issues to be addressed. (...) In our opinion, it's not just about Giertych, PSL, and abortion, but about the shape of Polish democracy, which we are trying to regain after eight years of PiS rule. That's why it's worth remembering the second vote that took place on the same day – an absolute majority of Polish MPs decided that law enforcement should be released from responsibility for unjustified violence against refugees on the Belarusian border.” -- IT IS EASIER TO SUSPEND FUNDAMENTAL VALUES TODAY IN THE NAME OF "DEFENDING DEMOCRACY" - GRAFF AND KOROLCZUK FURTHER IN OKO: “Eight years of PiS rule united the opponents of this party, allowing the autocrats to be removed from power. But it has apparently also had the effect that it is easier today to suspend fundamental values in the name of "defending democracy." -- IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DIFFERENT, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REAL DEMOCRACY, NOT JUST AN ELITE SWAP - GRAFF AND KOROLCZUK FURTHER IN OKO: “The sad fate of these three issues in the Polish parliament testifies to how a large part of the Polish political elite understands democracy. Under the guise of cleaning up after an authoritarian government, we still have a state that is "strong for the weak and weak for the strong." The point is that such a state is not a democracy, but only its imitation. A state that disregards women's and minority rights, which uses the apparatus of violence to subordinate individuals for ideological or religious reasons – such a state is not a democracy, but merely a hollow shell, not much different in practice from authoritarianism. It was supposed to be different – with this hope, the young electorate mobilized. If democracy gives them the finger, they won't mobilize again.” https://oko.press/prawa-kobiet-sprzatanie-po-pis -- RUMORS OF GIERTYCH'S CAREER COLLAPSE SEEM GREATLY EXAGGERATED - TOMASZ PIETRYGA IN RZ: “Looking at the mediocrity of parliamentary investigation committees or the recent stumble of the prosecution in the Romanowski case, it seems that he is the only one implementing the course set by Donald Tusk. It is not Adam Bodnar, but Giertych who attracts public attention. Without him, the reckoning operation would look meager, so rumors of Giertych's career collapse after the debacle related to the vote on the bill decriminalizing abortion seem greatly exaggerated.” https://www.rp.pl/opinie-prawne/art40866881-tomasz-pietryga-roman-giertych-bierze-sie-za-kaste-i-stawia-sedziom-najciezsze-zarzuty -- GW DESCRIBES ZIOBRO'S LETTER TO THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE DURING THE JP GOVERNMENT REGARDING THE JUSTICE FUND - AS WOJCIECH CZUCHNOWSKI WRITES: “On May 30, 2018, Zbigniew Ziobro wrote to the Ministry of Finance: "I am suspending programs aimed at preventing accidents by increasing the visibility of children on the road." The reason? The finance ministry did not want to allocate more money to OSP (Volunteer Fire Brigades) in municipalities where candidates from his party were running.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,31173164,szantaz-ziobry.html -- PSL MUST GET USED TO HUMILIATION - WIKTOR ŚWIETLIK IN INTERIA: “The leader of PSL essentially has only one serious weapon in his arsenal, and it is a nuclear weapon. And it is far too early for such a "final countdown." Today, the electorate would not forgive Kosiniak-Kamysz for breaking the coalition, and the hatred that the pro-government media and internet hate factories would unleash against him would be difficult to bear for him, his family, and his party.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-psl-musi-przyzwyczaic-sie-do-ponizen,nId,7703431 -- THE LITTLE TIGER GUARDING POLISH DEMOCRACY - RAFAŁ WOŚ IN INTERIA: “It has so strangely worked out that it is Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz who is today the last force that can say to the most politically heated Tusk supporters: "If you've been drinking, don't drive, take a rest." (...) Of course, it's not about any psychodramas in the Council of Ministers. That doesn't matter. What matters is the outcome of parliamentary votes. Like recently on abortion. The PSL cannot be bypassed because the PSL still has a choice. The PSL can lead to a change of prime minister at any moment. Everyone knows this. And everyone has to reckon with the Little Tiger. Even if they don't like him, or even if they despise him.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-tygrysek-na-strazy-polskiej-demokracji,nId,7721054 -- BIRTHDAYS: Zbysław Owczarski, Katarzyna Montgomery.
