STATE OF PLAY: Beavers Blamed, GW Says Beavers Guard Water Retention, Countering Drought, Środa: Developers Paving Over Areas That Belonged to Animals for Years
-- ZIOBRO'S HEARING SCHEDULED. "HE WILL BE ABLE TO SPEAK FOR TWO HOURS" - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2024/09/25/
-- WILL ZIOBRO BECOME A MARTYR - TOMASZ KRZYŻAK IN RZ: “The problem is that this is heading towards humiliating another person, stripping them of their dignity. That’s probably not the point of explaining this or that scandal. It seems, therefore, that in this situation, one should bury the hatchet for a moment, stop communicating with Ziobro through the media, propose a meeting with the commission leadership to assess his condition, understand his prognosis, and establish an action strategy.”

-- THE PEASANTS WANT TO TURN THE CURRENT DISTRICTS, IN WHICH DEPUTIES ARE ELECTED, UPSIDE DOWN. THEY DEMAND, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE DIVISION OF WARSAW INTO TWO PARTS - KAMIL DZIUBKA IN ONE: “The Peasants want to turn the current shape of electoral districts, where deputies are elected, upside down. They demand, among other things, the division of Warsaw into two parts and the determination of the number of mandates that can be won in a given district in their favor. For now, Platform politicians say that consent to such a solution is unlikely. They see a hidden agenda in the whole matter.”

-- HE MAY DECIDE THAT SINCE HE DOES NOT INTEND TO REPLACE HIMSELF, HIS SURROUNDINGS MUST BE AT LEAST PARTIALLY REPLACED - PROF. ANTONI DUDEK IN A COMMENT FOR ONET (PIOTR OLEJARCZYK): “The leader, following old tradition, may decide that since he does not intend to replace himself, his surroundings must be at least partially replaced. To announce that there is something new and better and that the party will win. Kaczyński will probably try to implement such a scenario – he believes.”

-- WHO ELSE IS TO BLAME, THEY'VE BLAMED THE BEAVER AGAIN - PAWEŁ ŚREDZIŃSKI IN OKO.PRESS: “Today, Prime Minister Donald Tusk seems to be returning to the words of the former minister, who blames beavers for the state of the dikes. The head of government spoke about the need to choose between love for animals and people's safety. The catch is that he repeated words that have already been repeatedly refuted by experts.”

-- DONALD TUSK VS. BEAVERS. CATCHING ANIMALS WILL NOT PREVENT FLOODS - MICHAŁ OLSZEWSKI IN GW: “Beavers are silent allies of the state where human activity has led to ecological damage. Approximately 150,000 individuals nationwide guard water retention, i.e., they counteract drought, repairing decades of mistakes and neglect when the priority was draining wetlands for agricultural purposes. Now the priority should be different: to fight drought, we need to delay water flow as much as possible. The help of beavers is invaluable in this matter.”

-- THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION WANTS TO REDUCE WOLF PROTECTION. UNOFFICIALLY: THE POLISH GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS THIS - ROBERT JURSZO IN GW: “– Weakening the protected status of wolves in international law may, in practice, result in the introduction of hunting these animals in many European countries. This is a hasty and unfounded action, as wolf populations in most of the EU still have not reached a good status – says Klimkiewicz.”

-- NATURE HAS HAD ENOUGH OF US - MAGDALENA ŚRODA IN GW: “Of course, there have always been catastrophes, but never with such intensity, with such unpredictable consequences, and never due to the catastrophic activity of man motivated by greed, avarice, and a mania for order: cutting down trees, regulating rivers, urban concrete sprawl, covering hundreds of hectares with photovoltaic farms (preferably in Natura 2000 regions), urbanization, and de facto the development of areas that have belonged to animals for years (residents of many cities are outraged by the appearance of wild boars in their housing estates. And what are these intelligent animals supposed to do when the forests are full of murderers lying in wait for their lives?)”

-- SOMETIMES ONE GETS THE IMPRESSION THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STATE, BUT PRIMARILY WITH UNSTABLE POLITICAL PARTIES - JAROSŁAW KUISZ IN INTERIA: “Sometimes one gets the impression that we do not have a problem with the state, but primarily with unstable political parties. As organizations of a fragment of society, they do not avoid conflicts when solidarity and cooperation are clearly more beneficial for the general public. The flood exposes the weaknesses of political groups in Poland. In the DNA of parties, we first find fears of disintegration and division if they are not in permanent conflict. Through theatrical antagonisms, which are 99% sterile, political parties do not effectively fulfill their function – that is, organizing our work and life in the Polish state. Because ultimately – the Polish state is us.”
