-- BY PLAYING WITH CONSPIRACY THEORIES, PLATFORMA IS ACTING LIKE A DE FACTO OPPOSITION PARTY, AND WITH GIERTYCH ON ITS LIPS, IT'S HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THE OPPOSITION BENCHES - GRZEGORZ SROCZYŃSKI IN GAZETA.PL: “The ruling party’s fume that ‘PiS falsified the elections’ under Tusk’s nose is a sign of weakness and confusion, not strength. By playing with conspiracy theories, Platforma is behaving like a de facto opposition party, and with Giertych on its lips, it’s heading straight for the opposition benches.”
-- IT IGNITED A CONSPIRACY-THEORY BRAWL - SROCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN GAZETA.PL: “The Polish liberal camp does not want to face the difficult post-election reality; it prefers to drug itself with conspiracy theories. Platforma Obywatelska, a party of the European conservative, sensible center, which promised its electorate not only ‘100 concrete actions’ but also that it would protect the country from PiS-driven adventurism and ‘Tupolevizm’, has now boarded its ‘own Tupolev’ and ignited a conspiracy-theory brawl.”
-- THE REAL DRAMA IS THAT THE CONSPIRACY THEORY ABOUT THE ELECTIONS BEING FALSIFIED BY PiS WAS SO EASILY ACCEPTED BY THE PLATFORMA MAINSTREAM, MINISTERS, PROFESSORS, JOURNALISTS, AND PERSONALLY BY PRIME MINISTER TUSK - SROCZYŃSKI CLAIMS.
-- SPREADING CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT FALSIFIED ELECTIONS DESTROYS THE STATE BUT SAVES PLATFORMA'S FACE WITHIN ITS OWN HEATED ELECTORATE. TUSK LOST THE ELECTION? NO! PiS FALSIFIED IT! - SROCZYŃSKI FURTHER IN GAZETA.PL: “The slogan ‘falsified elections’ saves PO from the hell of difficult reckonings for its own mistakes; it also saves Tusk because suddenly the song is about something else. If anyone within the liberal camp was asking what mistakes PO had made, well, they're not asking anymore. Was anyone wondering if Tusk shouldn't become a retired savior of the nation? There are no such voices anymore. Spreading conspiracy theories about falsified elections destroys the state but saves Platforma's face within its own heated electorate. Tusk lost the election? No! PiS falsified it! Don't whine about Tusk, dear voters, just please keep driving in your own lane.”
-- PLATFORMA IS DROWNING IN CONSPIRACY THEORIES BECAUSE IT'S SAYING GOODBYE TO POWER, DOESN'T BELIEVE ANYTHING CAN BE FIXED OR IMPROVED ANYMORE, SO IT'S PLAYING ONLY FOR ITSELF - SROCZYŃSKI'S CONCLUSION: “Platforma is drowning in conspiracy theories because it's saying goodbye to power, doesn't believe anything can be fixed or improved anymore, so it's playing only for itself. Trumpeting that PiS falsified the elections is, in fact, a message to you – liberal voters – that after 2027 you will be handed over to the mercy of PiS and Konfederacja governments. One cannot improve the quality of government, fix one's own mistakes, draw conclusions from those mistakes, and streamline ministries, while simultaneously denying reality and drowning in conspiratorial nonsense. It's one or the other.”

-- IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECOUNT THE VOTES IN ALL ELECTORAL DISTRICT COMMISSIONS AGAIN? ACCORDING TO CURRENTLY APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: NO, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE - ANNA WÓJCIK IN OKO.PRESS: “The State Electoral Commission does not have the possibility to recount votes in all polling districts. The Supreme Court also cannot order a recount of votes. The Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs in the Supreme Court considers election protests in a 3-judge panel and issues opinions on their merits. Positions regarding the validity of protests are also taken by the State Electoral Commission and the Prosecutor General. A three-person panel of the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs can order an inspection of ballot papers in specific commissions if specific, substantiated allegations are made in an election protest.”

-- ROMAN GIERTYCH'S CURSE. RESIGNATIONS OF PROSECUTORS DEALING WITH POLNORD - GRAŻYNA ZAWADKA AND IZABELA KACPRZAK IN RZ: “Prosecutor Sylwia Chamerska, who supervised the investigation in which Roman Giertych was a suspect, was against discontinuing the proceedings. She was recalled from her delegation to the National Prosecutor's Office and returned to Wrocław – ‘Rzeczpospolita’ has established.”
-- ACCORDING TO OUR INFORMATION, SHE WAS TO ISSUE A NEGATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE DECISION TO DISCONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION AGAINST THE KO DEPUTY - ZAWADKA AND KACPRZAK FURTHER IN RZ: “Immediately after that, her delegation to the National Prosecutor's Office was not extended. Prosecutor Marek Wełna also resigned from the position of department director, which supervised Polnord, as revealed by ‘Rzeczpospolita’ several weeks ago. He is also returning to his parent unit – to Kraków.”
-- ACCORDING TO LAWYERS, THE FINAL ABANDONMENT OF CHARGES AGAINST ROMAN GIERTYCH AT THIS STAGE OF THE INVESTIGATION IS AN UNPRECEDENTED DECISION - ZAWADKA AND KACPRZAK FURTHER IN RZ: “– Even abstracting from the evidence gathered in the case, discontinuing the charge concerning this one suspect at this stage of the investigation is ‘against the rules.’ Investigations are conducted to the end, then a bill of indictment is filed against specific suspects, and if it is found that, for example, there are no grounds for a particular person, their thread is separated, and only then is it discontinued – an experienced prosecutor explains to us.”
