-- FOR INSTANCE, WHAT THE PRIME MINISTER ALREADY SPOKE ABOUT, WHICH IS THE ISSUE OF THE BANK GUARANTEE FUND PAYING MORTGAGE INSTALLMENTS FOR FLOOD VICTIMS - GRABIEC ON THE SPECIAL LAW FOR 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2024/09/24 -- PIŚ IS STRONGERLY LOSING TO PO IN A POLL FOR WP: “In a poll by United Surveys for WP, the most people stated they would vote for Civic Coalition. The alliance led by Donald Tusk is supported by 34.2 percent of respondents. This is 0.4 percentage points less compared to the survey from the turn of August and September, meaning almost identical support as in the last poll. In second place was Law and Justice with support of 31 percent. Here, the decline is more visible, as it amounted to 1.4 percentage points.” https://wiadomosci.wp.pl/pierwszy-sondaz-partyjny-po-powodzi-znamy-wynik-7074194490624512a -- IN THE KŁODZKO VALLEY, THE POLISH STATE WAS ABSENT - MARCIN WYRWAŁ ON ONET: “In the first days after the flood wave hit the flooded towns and villages of the Kłodzko Valley, the Polish state was absent or functioned minimally. — We have been living in Poland C for years — one of the residents told me as I travelled through the towns and villages of this region. Why, 27 years after the previous great flood, do areas affected by the flood feel abandoned by their own state?” -- "TODAY I AM A BANKRUPT. I HAVE NOTHING. 20 TONS OF GRAIN I HAD FOR FEEDING MY HENS WASHED AWAY," SAID MS EWA - FURTHER IN WYRWAŁ ON ONET: “After a difficult 400m march, I reached Ms. Ewa’s farm. Agricultural machinery, including a massive combine harvester, lay overturned in the vicinity. Ms. Ewa raised 350 free-range chickens, whose eggs formed the basis of the farm’s income. When we spoke, most of the dead chickens lay in the coop, awaiting removal. — Today I am a bankrupt. I have nothing. 20 tons of grain I had for feeding my hens washed away — Ms. Ewa told me.” -- IN SUCH PLACES, THERE SHOULD BE A PARTICULARLY LARGE PRESENCE OF SERVICES. BUT I AGAIN SAW MAINLY LOCAL WORKERS THERE - FURTHER IN WYRWAŁ ON ONET: “Straight from Lądek-Zdrój, I drove to Stronie Śląskie. The scale of destruction in this town reminds me only of cities in the war-torn Donbas after heavy artillery shelling. In such places, there should be a particularly large presence of services. But I again saw mainly local workers there, removing rubble with excavators.” https://www.onet.pl/informacje/onetopole/marcin-wyrwal-powodz-w-kotlinie-klodzkiej-polskiego-panstwa-nie-bylo/cbetdbz,79cfc278 -- "DARKNESS, STENCH, AND WEEPING PEOPLE WHO DON'T WANT TO TALK TO CAMERAS" - IN JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ'S REPORTAGE IN RZ: “In one of the houses swept away by the water, a man managed to push his wife outside. He did not survive himself. In the place where buildings stood, obituaries are attached to trees. Darkness, stench, and weeping people who do not want to talk to cameras. They want something to finally change. Forever, not just for a moment.” https://www.rp.pl/kleski-zywiolowe/art41174961-powodz-w-polsce-jakie-bledy-popelniono-i-czy-nysa-musiala-zostac-zalana -- "AFTER OFFICE HOURS, NO ONE DEALS WITH CRISIS MANAGEMENT" - MAREK KOZUBAL IN RZ: “The live-streamed crisis management meetings regarding the flood reveal the truth about crisis management in Poland.

WHO WILL TAKE AWAY PIŚ POLITICIANS' PHONES?" - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “The flood revealed the intellectual poverty and the political marketing failure of Jarosław Kaczyński's formation. Someone should take away everyone's phones.” -- "PIŚ FACING THE FLOOD IS LIKE THE POLISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM, MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI'S COMMENTS WERE AN EXCEPTION" - FURTHER BY ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “PiS facing the flood is like the Polish national football team. The cover of 'Fakt' newspaper, which is recalled after every defeat of the national squad, can be dedicated to the right: 'Shame. Embarrassment. Disgrace. Humiliation. Suckers. Don't come home.' Mateusz Morawiecki's comments about leaving politics in the face of the flood were an exception.” https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art41174381-estera-flieger-na-prawicy-powodz-zmiotla-umiar-i-rozsadek-kto-zabierze-politykom-pis-telefony -- ABW WARNED THE LEADERSHIP OF THE MFA AND JAROSŁAW KACZYŃSKI THAT THE VISA SYSTEM WAS LEAKY AND WAS BEING USED BY CITIZENS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION - BARTOSZ T.

IT IS HIGH TIME TO SHAKE OFF MEMORIES OF THE CARNIVAL OF LOVE OF 2022 - ZBIGNIEW PARAFIANOWICZ IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “However, Yermak, responsible for relations with Poland and born in 1971, is a mental post-Soviet. Or, as some diplomats on the Polish side say – a Soviet liberal. That is, a man who went directly from communism to modernity, skipping the transitional period. The result is specific remnants of the old school of thinking in the form of not avoiding a violent style in politics, solo management, demandingness, plain rudeness, or dirty tricks.” https://www.tygodnikpowszechny.pl/warszawa-coraz-dalej-od-kijowa-skad-sie-biora-napiecia-we-wzajemnych-stosunkach-188394 -- PARTNERSHIP MARRIAGES? KOTULA FOR OKO.PRESS: PSL SHOULD ASK ITSELF, WHO IS IN ITS COALITION - ANTON AMBROZIAK IN OKO CITES KOTULA: “PSL probably should ask itself, who is in its coalition. Despite differences in the perception of human rights, do we want to seek compromises in the October 15 coalition, or does the Polish People's Party prefer to make deals with President Andrzej Duda?” -- "I TOOK A STEP BACK: FROM MARITAL EQUALITY TO PARTNERSHIP MARRIAGES" - FURTHER KOTULA AT AMBROZIAK'S: “I took a step back: from marital equality to partnership marriages. Then I gave up adoption. I am ready for further talks, but I think a lot has happened from my side.” -- "BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THE MINIMUM WE NEED IS DECRIMINALIZATION" - KOTULA AT AMBROZIAK'S ON ABORTION: “I hope no one will pull out cards, and everyone realizes that before the presidential elections, the minimum we need is decriminalization of assistance.” -- KOTULA ON RESTORING THE PRE-RULING STATUS AND NO TO A REFERENDUM - FURTHER AT AMBROZIAK'S IN OKO: “I think it's worth considering whether to return to the law from before the pseudo-ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal. Doctors are talking about it, women are talking about it. I am not putting this solution on the table today, I don't know how to do it – by canceling the ruling or adopting a law. Definitely, we say an absolute 'no' to a referendum on human rights.” https://oko.press/zwiazki-partnerskie-kotula-dla-oko-press -- "IT'S HIGH TIME TO STOP CODdling ROAD MURDERERS" - PIOTR WÓJCIK IN KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA: “Courts do a lot to treat road offenders leniently, but they would have a harder time if the law contained much harsher sanctions.
