BRYLKA ON KONFEDERACJA'S GOALS FOR 2027 - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2025/06/20 -- THE JUSTICE FUND IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE IT "ACCOUNTS FOR" PIS. FOR HELP FOR VICTIMIZED CHILDREN, THEY ARE COLLECTING ONLINE AND AT WEDDINGS - MICHAŁ JANCZURA IN WP: “Kamila was exploited by a priest, Radek is a victim of a coach. Witek's father killed his mother before his eyes, and Julka was raped by a peer. They are all children. They are recovering from trauma at the same Children's Help Center, the only such facility in Silesia. To survive, it announced an online fundraiser. The Ministry of Justice has huge funds for this purpose, but in most voivodeships, it does not provide a single grosz for help to child victims of crime. The Ministry of Justice explains that it has not announced new competitions for over a year because it has too many duties related to accounting for abuses from the PiS era.” https://wiadomosci.wp.pl/fundusz-sprawiedliwosci-nie-dziala-bo-rozlicza-pis-na-pomoc-gwalconym-dzieciom-zbieraja-w-internecie-i-na-weselu-7169383128370048a -- PAWEŁ SZEFERNAKER REVEALS DATA FROM ROLLING PREFERENCE MEASUREMENT RECEIVED DURING ELECTION SILENCE - ON SATURDAY BEFORE THE SECOND ROUND - IN AN INTERVIEW WITH KAMILA BARANOWSKA ON INTERIA: “I can say today that on Friday before the elections, we conducted surveys, including those related to the support of other candidates from the first round, and their results were very close to the final election outcome. In the last, so-called rolling survey that landed on my desk on May 30, Karol Nawrocki had 50.77% support. We know that he ultimately had 50.89%, so this result was confirmed.” -- KAROL NAWROCKI WAS NOT SHAKEN EVEN FOR A MOMENT - SZEFERNAKER TELLS BARANOWSKA: “We knew who the ruling coalition MPs and sympathetic journalists were trying to reach, because we were receiving this information from various sources. However, it's not always possible to predict everything, so the most important thing was that Karol Nawrocki was not shaken even for a moment. He was very resistant to all attacks. He was convinced that he was right and had nothing to reproach himself for.” -- I WOULDN'T OVERESTIMATE DONALD TUSK'S ROLE IN KAROL NAWROCKI'S VICTORY, BUT HIS BEHAVIOR, WHICH WE SAW ON POLSAT, GAVE PEOPLE A LOT TO THINK ABOUT - SZEFERNAKER FURTHER TELLS BARANOWSKA ON INTERIA: “Life brings various crises, but everything must be done to move forward from them. I wouldn't overestimate Donald Tusk's role in Karol Nawrocki's victory, but I have a feeling that his behavior, which we saw on Polsat, when he cited opinions of various shady characters, gave people a lot to think about. Simply put, many people began to question the credibility of the texts and accusations against Karol Nawrocki, as they were based on such compromised witnesses.” -- PERHAPS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF HOW PLATFORMA, THROUGH ITS ACTIONS, ACHIEVED THE OPPOSITE EFFECT OF WHAT WAS INTENDED, IS THE ISSUE OF MONEY - SZEFERNAKER FURTHER TELLS BARANOWSKA: “Although from the beginning we assumed that this campaign would be one big attack on us. Perhaps the best example of how Platforma, through its actions, achieved the opposite effect of what was intended, is the issue of money. Taking away our subsidies was meant to ruin our ability to conduct a normal campaign. Meanwhile, what happened? People, seeing what was happening, financed Karol Nawrocki's campaign themselves. Over 50,000 people contributed over 23 million zlotys to the campaign. An unprecedented mobilization.” -- IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WHEN POLES GO TO THE POLLS IN 2027, THEY KNOW THAT THE CANDIDATE SUPPORTED BY PIS DID NOT DISAPPOINT - SZEFERNAKER TELLS BARANOWSKA: “I think, above all, for Law and Justice, it is extremely important that when Poles go to the polls in 2027, they know that the candidate supported by PiS did not disappoint and fulfilled the hopes placed in him. Therefore, for the outcome of the parliamentary elections, it is important that Karol Nawrocki is a good president, as he announced during the campaign. I am convinced that this will happen.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/wybory/prezydenckie/news-szef-sztabu-karola-nawrockiego-odslania-nieznane-kulisy-kamp,nId,21842460 -- GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE. THEY SHOULD BE DEALING WITH SERIOUS PROBLEMS, NOT CALLING FOR A RECOUNT OF ALL VOTES - PROF. JAROSŁAW FLIS QUOTED BY MICHAŁ WRÓBLEWSKI IN WP: “Government representatives are making a big mistake. They should be dealing with serious problems, not calling for a recount of all votes in the presidential elections. Poland really has several more important problems than the frustration of politicians and various radicals after losing elections,” prof. Jarosław Flis from Jagiellonian University, sociologist and expert in electoral law, told Wirtualna Polska. -- THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE PARANOIA AND IRRESPONSIBILITY – PROF. FLIS FURTHER TELLS WRÓBLEWSKI IN WP: “This is unbelievable paranoia and irresponsibility. I understand that one can get worked up and repeat stupidities, while attacking political opponents, but calling for a recount of all votes is a complete aberration and great irresponsibility. Whoever does this doesn't even realize what they are postulating.” -- THE FACT THAT THE CANDIDATE OF ONE FORMATION AND ITS LEADERS MADE MISTAKES IN THE CAMPAIGN IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR CALLING INTO QUESTION THE ELECTORAL PROCESS AND ELECTION RESULTS – FLIS FURTHER IN WP: “There are no reasons to question the election results. The entire electoral process was transparent. Today's emotions stem from the fact that one side was convinced it would win, but it didn't. The fact that the candidate of one formation and its leaders made mistakes in the campaign is no justification for calling into question the electoral process and election results.” https://wiadomosci.wp.pl/sfalszowane-wybory-socjolog-nie-pozostawia-zludzen-kompletna-paranoja-7169020391050144a -- MANY ACQUAINTANCES OF OUR PRESIDENT DRINK ALCOHOL AND EAT FOR FREE IN THE VIP LOUNGE AT OUR AIRPORT. LAST YEAR ALONE, IT COST THE COMPANY ABOUT 180 THOUSAND PLN, PRESIDENT GRZEGORZ BYKOWSKI, ASSOCIATED WITH PO, RESPONDS THAT THEIR ACCUSATIONS ARE NONSENSE - ŁUKASZ CIEŚLA IN ONE: “Many acquaintances of our president drink alcohol and eat for free in the VIP lounge at our airport. Last year alone, it cost the company about 180,000 PLN. In addition, there are rigged orders and mistreatment of subordinates - complain employees of the Poznań Ławica Airport in an interview with Onet. President Grzegorz Bykowski, associated with PO, responds that their accusations are nonsense, and some of them are 'sewage.' The mayor of Poznań from PO and the deputy marshal of the voivodeship from PSL have a good opinion of Bykowski, but as representatives of institutions that are co-owners of the airport, they announce a detailed inspection.” -- FURNITURE FROM A FORMER LEFT-WING POLITICIAN - FURTHER IN CIEŚLA'S ARTICLE IN ONE: “There are more reservations about unclear orders and they also concern other companies. In a letter and in conversations with Onet, employees claim that the company of former Poznań left-wing politician Dominik Herberholz was also favored. For some time now, he has been involved in furniture production - he has installed his sofas at Ławica. Additionally, he supplied bottles of gin and software for about 180,000 PLN - according to our interlocutors, the software is unnecessary, it is not used, because they use different software. Our sources also claim that the former politician owes his deliveries to his acquaintance with the new head of marketing, who started working at Ławica in 2024 and got the position without a competition.” https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/poznan/konflikt-na-lotnisku-w-poznaniu-pracownicy-skarza-sie-na-prezesa-zwiazanego-z-po/qxy71zz -- PSL HAS ONCE AGAIN STUCK A KNIFE IN THE BACK OF THE RULING COALITION - WITOLD GŁOWACKI IN OKO.PRESS: “Without PSL, the seizure of power by the coalition on October 15, 2023, would have been impossible. But it is thanks to PSL that in June 2025, the prospect of losing power becomes real.” -- TUSK, AS A RULE, DOES NOT SERIOUSLY CONSIDER COALITION PARTNERS WITH SUB-THRESHOLD RESULTS - FURTHER GŁOWACKI: “So, after the PSL's decision, voters – and the coalition's political opponents – received a clear message that the government is co-created by, and responsible for entire ministries, by two parties – PSL and Poland 2050 – which would not be able to cross the electoral threshold. It is a separate question whether this will help Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz in haggling during pre-reconstruction negotiations for ministries and state-owned companies with Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who, as a rule, does not seriously consider coalition partners with sub-threshold results.” https://oko.press/psl-wbilo-noz-w-plecy-koalicji-rzadzacej -- CIVIC PLATFORM WILL SOON LOSE ANOTHER ELECTION - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “Either Tusk is playing the good cop, and allowing Roman Giertych to be the bad one who caters to the emotions of the hard-core electorate, or the situation has gotten out of his control. By insisting on the story of falsification, Civic Platform will soon lose another election – that's its own affair. Let's be optimistic that only the state won't suffer. Perhaps, unlike always, I will summarize optimistically. And to console Dr. Szwed, who faced online hate: it's a loud minority on social media platforms. The majority of Poles want compromise.” https://www.rp.pl/komentarze/art42561531-estera-flieger-platforma-obywatelska-przegra-za-chwile-kolejne-wybory -- TUSK SHOULD INVITE THE COALITION LEADERS TO PARKOWA AND SIMPLY… SWITCH ON A FEW EPISODES OF "BORGEN"? - MICHAŁ KOLANKO IN RZ: “Instead of another round of fruitless meetings and name changes – which only strengthens the impression that coalition politicians are primarily concerned with themselves, not citizens' affairs – perhaps Prime Minister Tusk should invite the coalition leaders to Parkowa and simply… switch on a few episodes of 'Borgen'? To see how a government can work where, despite differences and tensions, the achievement of common goals is possible (hint: it must be about something more than keeping PiS away from power), and compromise is not a sign of weakness, but maturity.” https://www.rp.pl/polityka/art42561021-tusk-jak-birgitte-nyborg-czego-premier-moze-sie-nauczyc-z-serialu-borgen -- MATEUSZ MORAWIECKI TURNS 57 TODAY. -- BIRTHDAYS: Mateusz Morawiecki, Leszek Skiba, Bianka Mikołajewska, Marek Mazurkiewicz, Grażyna Ciemniak, Zofia Popiołek, Mirosław Sekuła.
