-- HENRYK WUJEK WOULD HAVE TURNED 84 ON CHRISTMAS EVE. He died on August 15, 2020. -- STATE OF PLAY RETURNS ON FRIDAY. -- HERE AT OUR TABLE, EVERYONE IS WELCOME. I wish all Polish women and men joy, smiles, and peace - says Rafał Trzaskowski in a video with wishes. -- MOST IMPORTANTLY, HEALTH - adds Małgorzata Trzaskowska. https://x.com/trzaskowski_/status/1871466275626713516 -- AS WE BREAK BREAD, WE WILL REMEMBER THE FLOOD VICTIMS - said Donald Tusk, speaking with the entire government before a Christmas Eve cabinet meeting, after which the entire government sang a carol. The prime minister added that he had experience in this regard, referring to his performance in the show 'Chance for Success'. https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1RDGlyraVkMJL -- LET US REMEMBER THOSE WHO WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AT THE CHRISTMAS EVE TABLE BECAUSE, LIKE EVERY DAY, THEY WILL BE BUSY HELPING OTHERS. THESE ARE NURSES, DOCTORS, POLICE OFFICERS, SOLDIERS, FIREFIGHTERS, ALL THOSE ENSURING OUR SAFETY. THESE ARE BUS AND TRAM DRIVERS. THESE ARE FARMERS WHO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FARMS EVEN DURING THE HOLIDAYS. THESE ARE ALSO COURIERS AND POSTMEN. IT IS THANKS TO THE WORK OF ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT WE CAN ENJOY THIS SPECIAL TIME - Mateusz Morawiecki in his holiday wishes: https://x.com/MorawieckiM/status/1871480946136064259 -- MAY WHAT HAS HURT US BE IMPROVED, MAY EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES, SO DISTURBING AND DANGEROUS FOR OUR HOMELAND TODAY, CHANGE, AND MAY THIS HOPE BE A FULFILLED HOPE - Jarosław Kaczyński in his holiday wishes on his X account: https://x.com/OficjalnyJK/status/1871455576611598754 -- RYSZARD PETRU IS WORKING AT BIEDRONKA TODAY: I invite you to Biedronka at Pałacowa 2 Street in Warsaw today. https://x.com/RyszardPetru/status/1871450573347991639 -- SORRY, BUT THE ROLLS ARE RUNNING OUT - someone says to Ryszard Petru during a TV broadcast. -- PETRU ON TIME PRESSURE: - I'm not tired yet, although there is stress. I wouldn't want to make a mistake, and it's easy to make one – he emphasized, adding that the most difficult thing for him is "time pressure." - If I didn't have time pressure, I could calmly do it slowly, but everyone expects: do it faster. And then there's the risk of a mistake, and I still don't know the entire product layout by heart – the MP stated. https://www.rp.pl/polityka/art41618781-ryszard-petru-pracuje-w-sklepie-mowi-o-presji-czasowej -- IT'S A SHAME IT'S [comedy] NOT FUNNY. BECAUSE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT A CHRISTMAS EVE FREE FROM WORK – WHICH RYSZARD PETRU UNFORTUNATELY DOESN'T UNDERSTAND – IS ABOUT WHETHER POLAND IS A MODERN COUNTRY - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “Indeed, the discussion about a Christmas Eve free from work is about whether Poland is – nomen omen – a modern country, where the quality of work and a valuable social model are also important, thus promoting the idea of rest and spending time with loved ones.” https://www.rp.pl/komentarze/art41614381-estera-flieger-ryszard-petru-bawi-sie-w-sklep-po-co-taki-performance-w-wigilie -- TRZASKOWSKI RETURNS TO 1ST PLACE IN TRUST POLLS BY IBRIS FOR ONET, DUDA IS SECOND, MORAWIECKI THIRD, THEN TUSK, HOŁOWNIA, AND DEBUTING NAWROCKI AHEAD OF KOSINIAKIEM: https://www.onet.pl/informacje/onetwiadomosci/nowy-sondaz-zaufania-karol-nawrocki-atakuje-szczyt-imponujacy-wzrost/7c2mzkz,79cfc278 -- WILL TVN GO TO FOX? -- IN ONE SCENARIO OF MEDIA DEVELOPMENT, A MEDIA MANAGER ANONYMOUSLY OUTLINES A SCENARIO FOR FOX TO ACQUIRE WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY'S ASSETS - ACCORDING TO CNBC: “After selling most of its entertainment assets to Disney in 2019, Fox would shock the media world by regaining scale, acquiring HBO, its film studio, Turner networks and the streaming assets of Warner Bros. Discovery. It is worth adding that another executive predicted the sale of Fox, given the unknown future of the Murdoch family's trust.” https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/2025-anonymous-media-predictions.html -- ALREADY NOW, TVN IS BOOSTING ALL FINANCIAL RESULTS TO SHOW DURING A SALES AUDIT THAT IT IS EARNING THE BEST MONEY. THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH DEPARTURES. CLAUSES PROHIBITING WORK FOR COMPETITORS ARE BEING REMOVED - WIRTUALNE MEDIA CITES AN ANONYMOUS TVN JOURNALIST: “- All bonuses, annual premiums, or raises were only due to the global policy of Warner Bros. Discovery. What will happen if someone else comes? Cuts could be huge. Already now, TVN is boosting all financial results to show during a sales audit that it is earning the best money. There are no problems with departures. Clauses prohibiting work for competitors are being removed because such people need to be paid. They don't want to pay them because it has to be shown in the tables. If there is a new owner, the quality of all this will drop dramatically. These will be inexperienced people. Americans don't care about this because they just want to sell it. Their image doesn't interest them at all – assesses the TVN journalist.” https://www.wirtualnemedia.pl/artykul/tvn-warner-bros-discovery-katarzyna-kieli-list-sprzedaz-wegry-viktor-orban-pis-sprzedaz-daniel-obajtek-fakty-tvn -- WHAT WAS MISSING FROM TVP NEWS - WPOLITYCE.PL LISTS, ACCORDING TO PAWEL JABLONSKI: “about the attack by Russian services in the center of Warsaw – D. Tusk's services did not catch the perpetrators, while they are pursuing opposition politicians.” https://wpolityce.pl/media/716712-o-czym-nie-wspomniano-w-programie-1930-w-neo-tvp -- THE OLD ORDER - MAINSTREAM FORMATIONS REFERRING TO TRADITIONAL POLITICAL RULES - SUFFERS CONSTANT DEFEATS IN THIS BATTLE - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ IN INTERIA: “The Old Order – formations of the mainstream referring to traditional political rules – suffers constant defeats in this battle. It lost in the United States, where Donald Trump ridiculed ineffective accountability, built a raft for the radical right, lured "normals" frightened by the world of leftist neo-puritan political correctness, and promised to fill American wallets.” -- IN A SENSE, IT IS AN IMAGE CATASTROPHE FOR THE POLISH GOVERNMENT, ALTHOUGH ON THE OTHER HAND, IT IS NOT A VICTORY FOR KACZYNSKI, WHO DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE CELEBRATED IN THIS SITUATION - SZUBARTOWICZ CONTINUES: “In a sense, it is an image catastrophe for the Polish government, although on the other hand, it is not a victory for Kaczyński, who does not necessarily have to be celebrated in this situation by Polish patriots. They do not like it when foreign states do their idols' work for them and play out Polish affairs for their own interests. Orbán would not lift a finger if it didn't pay off for him in some way. To put it in a bitter joke, perhaps over time PiS will establish a government in exile in Budapest.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-cos-o-cyrku,nId,7880599 -- COMPARING THE MATERIALS OF 'DZIKIEGO TRENERA' AND THE PIS CANDIDATE IS AMUSING. NAWROCKI BENCH-PRESSING IN THE GYM IS ALMOST A COPY OF BODZIOCH'S VIDEO - ANNA MIERZYNSKA IN OKO.PRESS: “It is precisely to these groups that people supporting Nawrocki – unofficially – want to reach. Comparing the materials of 'Dzikiego Trenera' and the PiS candidate is amusing. Nawrocki bench-pressing in the gym is almost a copy of Bodzioch's video from the beginning of 2024, when he was the "first man in Poland" to lift 100 kilograms. Nawrocki with a standing barbell – here too, a very similar shot can be found in 'Dzikiego Trenera's' work.” -- IN SPORTS CLOTHING, HE IS THE EPITOME OF 'DZIKIEGO TRENERA' IN A REFRESHED VERSION - MIERZYNSKA CONTINUES IN OKO: “At this stage of the pre-campaign, we cannot speak of accidental similarity. In the spot on Nawrocki's unofficial TikTok account, the candidate is presented in such sports attire with the inscription "Karol Nawrocki, future President of the Republic of Poland" (sic). In the background, we hear a song with the same words.” https://oko.press/dziki-trener-druga-twarz-karola-nawrockiego -- WHY DOES PIOTR ZGORZELSKI SHAMELESSLY CALL MIGRANTS CATTLE? - TOMASZ KRZYŻAK IN RZ: “Piotr Zgorzelski's words have little in common with a Christian attitude. It is obvious that the attack in Magdeburg fits into the context of the current discussion. But just as PiS used to make politics out of the migration issue, so today the Civic Platform is doing exactly the same. Nothing has changed. The human being – the migrant (legal or illegal) – is in third, or perhaps even fourth place. The state that needs a sensible migration policy still does not have one.” https://www.rp.pl/komentarze/art41614371-tomasz-krzyzak-dlaczego-piotr-zgorzelski-bez-zenady-nazywa-migrantow-bydlem -- BIRTHDAYS: Ryszard Legutko, Piotr Polak, Konrad Ciesiołkiewicz, Marcin Korolec, FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS: Andrzej Gelberg, SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS: Wojciech Misiąg.
