STATE OF PLAY: Bosak Predicts Survey Crossover Between KO and Confederation, Markowski in GW: Tusk Agreed with Bąkiewicz, Flieger: Tusk Clearly Lost His Way and Then Gave Up Entirely

Łukasz Mężyk

-- KRZYSZTOF BOSAK: With this approach, 2026 could be the year of a survey crossover between Civic Coalition (KO) and Confederation (Konfederacja). Don't warn them, let them pay the price for their stupidity. https://x.com/krzysztofbosak/status/1941028434077192433 -- PATRYK SŁOWIK ON THE DEBATE AT MAZUREK IN KANAŁ ZERO, WHICH BECAME THE MAIN TOPIC YESTERDAY EVENING: A KO representative is not going to a debate on migration in one of the most popular YouTube channels because KO dislikes the channel's creator. The government representative in this program uses nothing but slogans and behaves, quite simply, in an irritating manner. Sitting next to him is Krzysztof Bosak, prepared, as always. Any day now, we will read about how it happened that the ruling coalition is losing the discourse on migrants and the situation at the border. Some people, in some prominent, though not particularly watched, program on TVP, will state that Poles are stupid and don't understand. https://x.com/PatrykSlowik/status/1941016601307828413 -- PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ: ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE FORMER PZPR BOSSES INCITING A COUP: THINK ABOUT WHAT DEMOCRACY IS - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2025/07/04 -- THE HELPLESSNESS OF PRIME MINISTER DONALD TUSK CAN BE SEEN, WHO FIRST CLEARLY LOST HIS WAY AND THEN COMPLETELY GAVE UP - ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: "Finally, concerning both the western border and the presidential election results – descending to the political level – the helplessness of Prime Minister Donald Tusk can be seen, who first clearly lost his way and then completely gave up." -- IN THE CASE OF THE WESTERN BORDER, DONALD TUSK SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE MOVE BY BĄKIEWICZ AND PIS. MEANWHILE, HE WAS LATE AND ACTED UNDER THEIR PRESSURE - FURTHER FROM FLIEGER IN RZ: "In the case of election results, the Prime Minister changed his mind, wasting time. In the case of the western border, Donald Tusk should have anticipated the move by Bąkiewicz and PiS. Meanwhile, he was late and acted under their pressure. While the problem is not new. Indeed, at this moment, it is not so much a problem of migration itself, but of Polish-German relations. And that's a different conversation. And different solutions." https://www.rp.pl/opinie-polityczno-spoleczne/art42643711-estera-flieger-jak-latwo-w-polsce-wykreowac-nieistniejace-problemy-realne-pozostaja-bez-rozwiazan -- SERIOUSLY: BRAVO, MR. PRIME MINISTER. YOU HAVE JUST CONCISELY AND CLEARLY, IN THE BEST STYLE OF DECISIVE LEADERSHIP, AGREED WITH BĄKIEWICZ AND BRAUN - MAREK MARKOWSKI IN GW: "Sorry, I'm wading too deep into cringe irony, this isn't Facebook. So, seriously: bravo, Mr. Prime Minister. You have just concisely and clearly, in the best style of decisive leadership, agreed with Bąkiewicz, Braun, Bosak, and Mentzen. The 2027 election campaign is considered started. And we already know the Civic Coalition's slogan: Strong Together with football hooligans." https://wyborcza.pl/magazyn/7,124059,32075517,tusk-rozpoczal-kampanie-wyborcza-2027-znamy-juz-haslo.html -- THE HYSTERIA AND DEHUMANIZATION OF REFUGEES HAVE REACHED SUCH A LEVEL THAT THEIR VERY SIGHT MAKES A POLE TREMBLE LIKE A LEAF - GALOPUJĄCY MAJOR IN KRYTYKA POLITYCZNA: "This does not mean that Poland should accept literally everyone, as they come. No one is saying that, not even the Razem party. It took Zandberg's interview with Stanowski for the latter to make a wide-eyed face, surprised that the left is for a thought-out immigration policy, not opening doors wide. The problem, however, is that the hysteria and dehumanization of refugees have already reached such a level that their very sight makes a Pole tremble like a leaf." https://krytykapolityczna.pl/kraj/patrole-obywatelskie-na-granicy-galopujacy-major/ -- THERE ARE VERY STRONG TENSIONS BETWEEN SZYMON HOŁOWNIA'S FORMATION AND CIVIC COALITION (KO). DONALD TUSK'S POSITION IS EVEN BEING QUESTIONED - MICHAŁ WRÓBLEWSKI IN WP: "'Szymon is playing for a change of prime minister' – some parliamentarians claim in unofficial conversations. And this applies to both the ruling coalition and the opposition. – Hołownia is aware that with Tusk at the head of the government, power cannot be maintained in the next elections – assures one of the deputies." -- HOŁOWNIA BELIEVES THAT KO DEPUTIES ARE INSPIRING MEDIA ATTACKS ON POLSKA 2050 POLITICIANS - FURTHER IN WP: "– Hołownia does not want to align himself with a government in which KO with Tusk at the helm has such a dominant position. He also believes that his party is not treated fairly, and KO deputies are inspiring media attacks on Polska 2050 politicians – we hear from an interlocutor from the ruling camp." https://wiadomosci.wp.pl/przed-spotkaniem-liderow-koalicji-znamy-agende-w-tle-dyskusje-o-zmianie-premiera-7174353289525984a -- THE PO HEARTLAND, WHERE TRZASKOWSKI ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST RESULT IN THE COUNTRY, CANNOT GET THE PROMISED METROPOLITAN LAW NOR A SOLUTION TO ECONOMIC MATTERS - KRZYSZTOF KATKA IN GW: "I am increasingly bitter and impatient. Nothing has happened since the change of government. The work of Obajtek is being continued with regard to Energa. I give the government until October 15th – says MEP Janusz Lewandowski. The Pomeranian Marshal Mieczysław Struk, the head of PO in the region, is also intervening with the Prime Minister on this matter. The Energa issue is one of many not resolved by the government. The PO heartland, where Rafał Trzaskowski achieved the highest result in the country, cannot get the promised metropolitan law, nor a solution to economic matters." https://trojmiasto.wyborcza.pl/trojmiasto/7,35612,32076174,orlen-broni-umowy-obajtka-ktora-odebrala-prad-enerdze-marszalek.html -- IF A RULING MINISTER ACCUSES HIS PREDECESSORS OF LACK OF DECISIVENESS, AND HE HIMSELF DOES EXACTLY THE SAME, IT IS A BIT FUNNY. AND A BIT TERRIFYING. SIMPLY GOOD STAND-UP - MACIEJ MIŁOSZ IN RZ: "Of course, I remember that Mariusz Błaszczak's criticism of the Ministry of National Defence can be so absurd that it is difficult to take seriously. You can laugh at that sometimes too. But in the Polish political system, that's precisely the role of politicians in opposition – they can whine. However, if a ruling minister accuses his predecessors of a lack of decisiveness, and he himself does exactly the same, it is a bit funny. And a bit terrifying. Simply good stand-up. It seems that after proving himself as a minister, the choice of a new career is obvious for Paweł Bejda." https://www.rp.pl/komentarze/art42651811-maciej-milosz-wiceminister-obrony-probuje-sil-w-stand-upie -- BIRTHDAYS: Jan Szomburg, Jarosław Szostakowski.
