-- A GREAT SCALE OF POWERLESSNESS. HOW POLISH LAW HITS THE BRAKES ON MAJOR INVESTMENTS - PAWEŁ ROCHOWICZ IN RZ: “Key investments need framework legislation and the utilization of knowledge from experienced individuals. Creating special laws for specific investments, like the one for the construction of the Central Communication Port, has only deepened legal chaos.”

-- IT IS ASTONISHING HOW EASILY THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT HAS SQUANDERED ALL POTENTIAL. THEY PROMISED HEAVEN AND EARTH, AND NOTHING CAME OF IT - PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ: “It is astonishing how easily the current government has squandered all potential. They promised heaven and earth, and nothing came of it. The right (?) is already planning the funeral of the Third Polish Republic, and there is even a potential master of ceremonies in the ruling camp. Paraphrasing Zagajewski, they truly only know how to live in defeat.”

-- VOTERS EXPECT UNITY AND A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE FROM THE RULING COALITION. HOWEVER, THEY ARE RECEIVING NEITHER. WILL THE GOVERNMENT FINALLY EMERGE FROM ITS POST-ELECTION TRAUMA AND SHOW COMPETENCE? - WOJCIECH CZUCHNOWSKI IN GW.
-- IT IS EVEN WORSE; DESPITE TUSK AND HIS COALITION PARTNERS STILL HOLDING POWER, THEY BEHAVE LIKE BROKEN UNITS - CONTINUES CZUCHNOWSKI IN GW: “The lack of a 'plan B' is not everything. The Prime Minister and the democratic coalition are not announcing any 'new opening,' they are not telling voters what's next. It is even worse; although Tusk and his coalition partners still hold power, they behave like broken units, some of whom are already thinking about capitulation. Or about switching sides to the enemy.”

-- THE PRIME MINISTER'S POSITION IS WEAKER THAN EVER. IT IS TRUE THAT THE COALITION PARTNERS CAN DO LITTLE WITHOUT HIM, BUT THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT THE PRIME MINISTER WITHOUT HIS COALITION PARTNERS - DOMINIKA DŁUGOSZ IN NEWSWEEK: “The Prime Minister would most gladly arrange the government for the second half of the term according to his own wishes. He would get rid of almost all coalition ministers and replace them with people ready to do anything for him without discussion. The problem is that after the presidential election, his position is weaker than ever. It is true that the coalition partners can do little without him, but the same can be said about the Prime Minister without his coalition partners.”

-- THE INTERNET HELLFIRE AGAINST POLSKA 2050 AND HOŁOWNIA HIMSELF DID NOT PARTICULARLY WORRY TUSK. BUT TODAY THE PRIME MINISTER MUST ANSWER THE QUESTION: DOES HE WANT TO BE BLAMED FOR THE COLLAPSE OF THIS COALITION? - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “Politically, Donald Tusk was the beneficiary of constant friction within the coalition. Every war between the left and the peasant party, every quarrel within the Third Way, made Tusk's position grow as his coalition partners weakened. The internet hellfire against Poland 2050 and Hołownia himself also did not particularly worry Tusk. But today the Prime Minister must answer the question: does he want to be blamed for the collapse of this coalition? Will another coalition be better for Poland now? Will Jarosław Kaczyński's accelerated return to power be in Poland's national interest? Has the October 15th coalition project exhausted itself and has nothing important to offer Poles?”

-- HOŁOWNIA WANTED TO BETRAY TUSK. WE REVEAL THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES OF TALKS WITH KACZYŃSKI - HEADLINE ON ONE.
-- HOŁOWNIA MET WITH KACZYŃSKI AT LEAST TWICE IN RECENT WEEKS - ACCORDING TO ONE'S FINDINGS - ANDRZEJ STANKIEWICZ AND KAMIL DZIUBKA: “At these meetings, they discussed the overthrow of Donald Tusk's government. According to some of our sources, Hołownia's stake was the prime minister's seat in a "technical government" dependent on Kaczyński. According to others, Hołownia negotiated to retain the position of Marshal of the Sejm, which the current coalition wants to strip him of in the autumn. Both versions are not mutually exclusive.”

-- HOŁOWNIA AND KOBOSKO'S EDUCATIONAL ADVENTURES STILL CAUSE AMUSEMENT AMONG POLITICIANS. BUT NOT AMONG PROSECUTORS ANYMORE - JACEK GĄDEK IN NEWSWEEK: “Hołownia and Kobosko promised a new quality in politics, and – as Renata Kim wrote – they shrewdly tried to obtain diplomas from Collegium Humanum. According to documents – she wrote in 'Newsweek', citing sources at the university – Kobosko was struck off the management course at the branch in Poznań, but he still appears as a student in Warsaw and at the branch... in Uzbekistan. The educational adventures of Hołownia and Kobosko still cause amusement among politicians. But not among prosecutors anymore.”

-- THAT IS BECAUSE MY PUBLIC ACTIVITY HAS STEPPED ON THE TOES OF VARIOUS INFLUENTIAL GROUPS AND POLITICIANS. THIS ABOMINABLE ATTACK STARTED FROM TVP (SO-CALLED PUBLIC) AND SPREAD THROUGH ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS - KATARZYNA PEŁCZYŃSKA-NAŁĘCZ: “This is my saddest post. My daughter has become a victim of internet hellfire. She is being insulted with the worst language, just because she is my daughter. I have no illusions: this is happening because someone wants to hit me. Because my public activity has stepped on the toes of various influential groups and politicians. This abominable attack started from TVP (so-called public) and spread through anonymous accounts linked to strongmen, 'rentiers,' and other 'righteous cause' fighters who lack the courage to show their faces but are fulfilling their 'patriotic mission' by destroying a young, absolutely innocent person.”

-- POLITICIANS FROM THE CIVIC COALITION, HOLDING OFFICE IN THE SAME GOVERNMENT AS THE MINISTER, AS WELL AS A WHOLE MASS OF SO-CALLED JOURNALISTS, LEGEND AS OPINION MAKERS, BUT IN REALITY BEING PROPAGANDA ASSETS OF ONE PARTY - PAWEŁ KAPUSTA, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF WP: “It is absolutely disgusting how Ms. Katarzyna Pełczyńska's daughter is being attacked. There are not enough strong words to describe such an organized campaign. However, this does not change the fact that the main instigators of these hate campaigns – aimed at specific individuals, with the goal of their complete destruction, dehumanization, and undermining of all their competencies – are people directly associated with the ruling coalition. Both Civic Coalition politicians, holding office in the same government as the Minister (!), as well as a whole mass of so-called journalists, lauded as opinion makers, but in reality being propaganda assets of one party.”

-- LENA HAS 0.5 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON TIKTOK AND ALMOST 15 MILLION LIKES. FOR COMPARISON, THE TVPINFO TIKTOK ACCOUNT HAS 43.1 THOUSAND FOLLOWERS, WHICH IS 8.7% OF LENA'S ACCOUNT, AND 1.1 MILLION LIKES, WHICH IS 7.5% OF LENA'S ACCOUNT... - SŁAWOMIR ĆWIK, MP PL20250: “Do you know why they started attacking Lena Nalecz, Katarzyna Pełczyńska's daughter? Because @PL_2050 established cooperation with the young girl in the area of social media management. Why? Because she knows how to do it - Because if someone like Lena has 0.5 million followers on TikTok and almost 15 million likes, it's clear she knows the ropes... And the journalists at TVP try to compare this to hiring friends of a rabbit in state-owned companies and attack the girl for something she does much better than them... For comparison, the TVPInfo TikTok account has 43.1 thousand followers, which is 8.7% of Lena's account, and 1.1 million likes, which is 7.5% of Lena's account... And it's interesting how much they pay for social media management.”

-- KAZIMIERZ MARCINKIEWICZ DESCRIBES THE ACTIVITIES IN THE MOKOTÓW DISTRICT OF BIAŁY KAMIEŃ IN AN INTERVIEW WITH FAKT: “The former prime minister believes that Polska 2050 is an 'irresponsible party.' – However, more has been happening at Biały Kamień for weeks; there are some meetings. I saw Bosak, Czarnik, and Marek Jurek, but I don't know who they were meeting with. One thing is certain – they are planning how to overthrow Tusk,” he adds.

-- THE BORDER DEFENSE MOVEMENT TORPEDOES GERMAN MIGRATION POLICY - JACEK LEPIARZ IN DEUTSCHE WELLE: “'The Polish Border Defense Movement wants to torpedo Germany's policy of sending migrants back from the border,' the weekly 'Der Spiegel' wrote on its portal on Friday. The editorial describes an incident that allegedly occurred in the middle of the week on the bridge connecting German Guben with Polish Gubin. As stated in the report, German police asked their Polish colleagues to put an end to the Border Guard's activities and take back the migrant. A patrol of the Polish Border Guard appeared at the scene. German officers again sent the Afghan to the Polish side, but members of the Border Guard did not let him through. Polish officers apparently did not intervene – 'Der Spiegel' points out. The commander of the Polish Border Guard, despite pressure from the German side, refused to admit the migrant into Poland.”

-- FIGHTING DEMOCRACY RAISES THE WHITE FLAG - WITOLD GADOMSKI IN GW: “Meanwhile, instead of that, with its decisions, it has not only justified the actions of right-wing militias, it has given wind to the sails of the right and complicated our relations with Germany at a time when we are threatened by aggression not from the West, but from the East. While the hard rhetoric of Tusk towards immigrants (or people pretending to be immigrants) who attack Polish soldiers at the border with Belarus can be understood to some extent, adopting the right-wing narrative on the alleged threat from Germany, in the hope of taking over this topic from the right, is absurd. Worse – it is a mistake.”
-- FOR REASONS UNKNOWN TO ME, THE PRIME MINISTER COWARDED. PERHAPS HE DECIDED THAT THE PRO-EUROPEAN CAMP IS IN THE MINORITY - CONTINUES GADOMSKI IN GW: “This is a real division, and the Prime Minister should have stood at the head of the pro-European camp, the camp of reason and moderation. For reasons unknown to me, he chickened out. Perhaps he decided that the pro-European camp is in the minority, so one must go with the flow of Euroscepticism. As often happens in politics, this may turn out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
