Cypriot fans stabbed the Polish nation right in the heart. Unfortunately, this was not the end of the scandal. Will we see any reaction from the bodies that should stand guard in such situations?

The SLD candidate resigned in 2005, the reason being his stock market transactions. Instead of explaining himself, he withdrew his candidacy. – But in Szymon Hołownia's case, nothing like that is happening. He presented his position on false accusations. He remains a candidate, and we will support him with the PSL in this campaign – assures a politician from the Third Way.” https://wyborcza.pl/7,75398,31502619,oskarzenia-o-zwiazki-z-collegium-humanum-zaszkodza-holowni.html -- RAŚ: WE ARE GOING TOO FAR.

For me, democracy is unconditional, it requires pluralism, including in public institutions. I disagree with any closing of the system. I believe that a situation where the presidency is taken by a president with a strong mandate, from a different grouping (than those forming the ruling camp - ed.), will force a change in the approach of the rulers – he stated.” -- HE HAS A CHANCE DURING THIS CAMPAIGN TO SHOW HIMSELF AS A STRONG PERSONALITY WHO WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE INDEPENDENT DECISIONS - SAID SONIK ABOUT NAWROCKI: “– Karol Nawrocki is a candidate from outside the party apparatus.

'There is such a great expectation [among the ruling camp's electorate] that one can vote for a woman at least in the first round, that it will already ensure a higher result than two percent' – we hear. The Left has noticed in recent elections that people wanted to vote for left-wing female politicians – they even searched for them in lower positions on the lists, which caused them to win against men from the 'number ones' seats. https://oko.press/kto-zostanie-kandydatka-lewicy-na-prezydenta -- CHANGES IN HEALTH INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS NEGATE THE EFFECT OF ONE OF THE FEW FULFILLED CAMPAIGN PROMISES OF THE TUSK GOVERNMENT – WAGE INCREASES FOR THE PUBLIC SECTOR - BARBARA BRODZIŃSKA-MIROWSKA IN RZ: “This is where the risk for the government lies. It seems that today it is poorly perceived by politicians. With changes in the health insurance contribution, the rulers may cause divisions within their voter groups. Today, the gap in tax contributions between entrepreneurs and employees is growing. According to calculations by the Federation of Employers and Entrepreneurs, the proposed changes appear to deepen this difference in favor of business activities.” https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art41499691-barbara-brodzinska-mirowska-zmiany-w-skladce-zdrowotnej-to-polityczna-pulapka-na-miare-polskiego-ladu -- FAT CATS OF THE OCTOBER 15 COALITION.

In July this year, Kosek became a member of the supervisory board of the Municipal Hospital in Rabka Zdrój. The CEO there is Witold Latusek, a former PO activist, formerly a member of the Małopolskie Voivodeship board. Did he help Kosek get on the facility's supervisory board? – I know nothing about it – says the councilor. Also in July this year, Kosek joined the supervisory board of the Experimental Plant of the Institute of Animal Husbandry – National Research Institute, located in Żerniki Wielkie in Lower Silesia.
