— IN CASE OF FAILED PEACE TALKS WITH RUSSIA, THE USA WILL IMPOSE 500% TARIFFS ON COUNTRIES IMPORTING RUSSIAN ENERGY RESOURCES – RUSŁAN SZOSZYN IN RZ: “Even before Trump introduced tariffs, half of the senators, including Republicans, suggested that in case of failed peace talks with Russia, the USA would impose 500% tariffs on countries importing Russian energy resources. Could Donald Trump's recent decisions indicate that the United States has already begun to implement this threat? Much suggests so.”

— I EXPECT DIFFICULT TIMES FOR THE NATIONAL HEALTH FUND. AND DIFFICULT DECISIONS AWAIT US, BECAUSE IT MAY BE THE CASE THAT WE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR ALL PROCEDURES, FOR EVERY TREATMENT – DR HAB. MONIKA RAULINAJTYS-GRZYBEK – PROFESSOR AT THE WARSAW SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS IN A CONVERSATION WITH SŁAWOMIR ZAGÓRSKI IN OKO.PRESS: “Again, I understand politically that this declaration from the Ministry of Finance is intended to reduce public anxiety. Because we tell ourselves that these funds will be there anyway. Only, the Ministry does not have its own money, and if it covers this shortfall, it will not pay for something else or will have to go into debt. The public likes to manage the state budget, because it seems that these are such large amounts that if you add a little from the budget here or there, the budget will absorb it. Meanwhile, our budget situation is not easy. Especially in the current, very uncertain global economic situation. All entrepreneurs know that in uncertain times, every zloty is scrutinized five times before it is spent. I expect difficult times for the National Health Fund. And difficult decisions await us, because it may be the case that we won't have enough for all procedures, for every treatment.”

— “IT’S A CIRCUS, NOT DEMOCRACY”. HOŁOWNIA ON THE DEBATE IN KOŃSKIE, “THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK DANGEROUS, SIMILAR TO PAST TIMES”. HOŁOWNIA’S SHARP WORDS ABOUT TVP – 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2025/04/11

— THE FACT THAT AN AGREEMENT CANNOT BE REACHED, AND TVP CANNOT BE THE SOLE ORGANIZER OF THE DEBATE TODAY, IS ANOTHER MANIFESTATION OF THE DEEP CRISIS OF PUBLIC MEDIA – ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “While the matter is simple. According to art. 120 of the Electoral Code, Telewizja Polska “has the obligation to conduct debates between presidential candidates.” The fact that an agreement cannot be reached on this matter, and TVP cannot be the sole organizer of the debate today, is another manifestation of the deep crisis of public media, and thus of the state. And it does not speak in favor of the changes in the “being liquidated” public television. It is still not the Polish BBC.”

— I APPEAL TO THE CURRENT AUTHORITIES OF TVP TO WITHDRAW FROM THE IDEA OF THE DEBATE. THE IDEA THAT ONLY TWO CANDIDATES SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCUSSION ON PUBLIC TELEVISION CAN EVEN, IN AN EXTREME CASE, BE CONSIDERED GROUNDS FOR ANNULMENT OF THE ELECTION – PROF. ANTONI DUDEK IN RMF: “I appeal to the current authorities of TVP to withdraw from the idea of the debate. The idea that only two candidates should participate in the discussion on public television can even, in an extreme case, be considered grounds for annulling the election – stated the political scientist, adding that TVP “jeopardizes the presidential elections in Poland.” He emphasized that public television has “a specific task of presenting all candidates.” – In this regard, I support the stance of Marshal Hołownia – he added.”

— UNTIL THE CIVIC PLATFORM STARTED RULING, EVERYTHING WAS THERE – IRENEUSZ NATKAŃSKI DOES NOT HIDE WHO HE FEELS RESENTMENT TOWARDS. HE SAYS THAT ONLY CERAMICS AND FOUNDRIES REMAINED IN KOŃSKIE, BUT PRIVATE ONES – IN A REPORT BY GRZEGORZ WALCZAK IN GW: “- Until the Civic Platform started ruling, everything was there – Ireneusz Natkański does not hide who he feels resentment towards. He says that only ceramics and foundries remained in Końskie, but private ones. The railway connection – as Andrzej Duda announced – has been restored, but the station building is falling apart. – You can't even pee, excuse me, without a place to do it – Natkański is angry.”

— IF THE CIVIC PLATFORM HAD CONTINUED TO GOVERN THE CITY, THEY WOULD HAVE SOLD OFF EVEN OUR MARKET SQUARE – ANOTHER INTERLOCUTOR OF WALCZAK IN GW: “Mr. Stefan, whom I meet in the market square in Końskie, would not have been convinced anyway. – If the Civic Platform had continued to govern the city, they would have sold off even our market square – he believes, adjusting his cap, as snow is falling from the sky.”

— I WOULD EXPECT A CANDIDATE TO MAINTAIN GOOD FOREIGN RELATIONS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE USA. – AND TO KNOW THE LANGUAGE, SO THAT THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, AS IN THE PAST TERM – FURTHER IN WALCZAK’S REPORT IN GW: “Wiktoria now counts on a real debate, because five years ago it was a “debate with oneself.” She would expect a candidate to maintain good foreign relations, especially with the USA. – And to know the language, so that there are no mistakes, as in the past term – she smiles meaningfully. She would also ask Trzaskowski and Nawrocki what to do so that young people don't flee such symbolic cities.”
