-- DIRECTOR OF THE PILECKI INSTITUTE, PROF. KRZYSZTOF RUCHNIEWICZ, WANTED TO ORGANIZE A SEMINAR ON THE RETURN OF CULTURAL GOODS BY POLAND TO GERMANY. THIS ACTION BY THE PLENIPOTENTIARY FOR POLISH-GERMAN RELATIONS IS AGAINST THE POLICY OF THE POLISH STATE - MACIEJ MIŁOSZ IN RZ. -- WAS PROF. KRZYSZTOF RUCHNIEWICZ UNDERGOING COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE VETTING BEFORE ASSUMING THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF THE PILECKI INSTITUTE - MACIEJ MIŁOSZ CONTINUES IN RZ: “The actions of the Pilecki Institute are against the policy of the Polish state. In relation to questions concerning potential talks about the return of cultural goods by Poland, which are against the policy of the Polish government, we asked the Ministry of Culture whether prof. Krzysztof Ruchniewicz was vetted by counter-intelligence before taking on the role of director of the Pilecki Institute. – The appropriate authority to provide information on counter-intelligence verification is the Coordinator of Special Services – spokesperson Piotr Jędrzejowski responded to ‘Rz’. We did not receive a response from the Chancellery of the Prime Minister by the time this issue of ‘Rzeczpospolita’ went to print.” https://www.rp.pl/polityka/art42804531-kontrowersyjne-pomysly-dyrektora-instytutu-pileckiego -- SZEFERNAKER: TOMORROW THERE WILL BE AT LEAST THREE ADDRESSES BY PRESIDENT NAWROCKI, LARGELY REFERRING TO THE CURRENT SITUATION IN POLAND - 300LIVE: https://300polityka.pl/live/2025/08/05 *** -- TUSK, IN ESSENCE, FOR THE FIRST TIME SPOKE MUCH MORE ABOUT HIS OWN PEOPLE, HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS OWN PEOPLE, THAN ABOUT ENEMIES - JAN ROKITA IN A COMMENT FOR KANAŁ ZERO: “It is a milestone in Polish politics that Prime Minister Tusk says something very significant about Polish politics at this rally. Perhaps for the first time, so openly, so clearly, he redefined the relationship between himself as the leader of the camp, let's call it the left-liberal or center-left, and the entire large, broad camp that he heads. This is very important because Tusk, in essence, for the first time spoke much more about his own people, his relationship with his own people, than about enemies, than about PiS.” -- HE IS TRYING TO WIN BACK THE HEARTS, EMOTIONS, FEELINGS OF THESE PEOPLE TOWARDS HIMSELF, BECAUSE HE HAS REASONS TO BELIEVE THAT HIS OWN CAMP IS LOSING FAITH IN HIM - JAN ROKITA CONTINUES ON KANAŁ ZERO: “Tusk is overtaken by fear, apprehension that his supporters, to whom he came in Pabianice, are a certain part of the whole. I mean supporters throughout the country. They may be contaminated by the propaganda, that they will be tainted by the campaign against him, that they will believe that he has locked himself in his office, that he is not coping, that he is completely detached from reality, that he has gone mad, and so on, and so on, because that is what they read every day in the media, including TVN, pro-government portals, and so on. This is a kind of new narrative that has appeared here. And what does Tusk do about it? He tries to win back the hearts, emotions, and feelings of these people towards himself, because he has reasons to believe that his own camp is losing faith in him.” -- THIS IS ABSOLUTELY EXTRAORDINARY: HE LAUNCHES A FRONTAL ATTACK ON THE POLITICAL ELITE OF HIS OWN CAMP - JAN ROKITA CONTINUES: “Firstly, and this is absolutely extraordinary: he launches a frontal attack on the political elite of his own camp. I did not misspeak. Not on PiS members, not on Konfederacja members. Right-wing television, right-wing media? No, no, on his own people. Yes, on those people, on those people who trust him, are with him, listen to him, are his subordinates, form his base, form his government, form his coalition, form his party, form his experts, and so on, and so on. He attacks them. That is the first thing he does. And then, and this is the second thing, he refutes the accusations made against him.” -- I RUB MY EYES IN AMAZEMENT, BECAUSE TUSK AND STABILIZATION – PERHAPS THE FORMER TUSK OF 'WARM WATER FROM THE TAP', NOT THE CONTEMPORARY TUSK, WHO CONSTANTLY GALVANIZES, EXCITE, ANTAGONIZES, INCITES, AND STIRS UP TROUBLE - CLAIMS JAN ROKITA ON KANAŁ ZERO: “He cannot be provoked, and therefore, as prime minister, he will work for the stabilization of Polish politics. Meaning, those who want to provoke him want to provoke him into destabilization, i.e., from his own political camp. To be honest, I listen to this and rub my eyes in amazement. I rub my eyes in amazement because Tusk and stabilization – perhaps the former Tusk of ‘warm water from the tap’, not the contemporary Tusk, who constantly galvanizes, excites, antagonizes, incites, and stirs up trouble. Ever since he took power, he has only been engaged in this, because he constantly stirs up emotions, which he talks about, which he will also talk about later at that rally. Well, I rub my eyes in amazement. But Tusk, of course, then stops rubbing his eyes in amazement. Tusk, of course, completely disregards consistency and, about 15 minutes later, or even less, a dozen or so minutes later, says something exactly the opposite.” -- WHEN HE SAYS HE CAN'T DO SOMETHING, HE ACTUALLY EMPHASIZES THAT HE CAN DO IT BEST - ROKITA ON TUSK: “This is typical for this politician. When he says he can't do something, he actually emphasizes that he can do it best. When he says he loves someone, it means he hates them.” -- IF EVERYONE IS EITHER A SCOUNDREL, A TRAITOR, OR AN IDIOT, THEN IN ESSENCE EVERYONE IS WORKING AGAINST HIM. KOSINIAK: HE GAVE HIM THE VILLAGE, BUT THIS ONE KNOWS NOTHING IN THE VILLAGE. NOW HE REGRETS IT - JAN ROKITA CONTINUES: “Why do I consider this Pabianice event a turning point? Why do I consider it so important, telling us so much about Polish politics? Because Pabianice showed us, for the first time, the prime minister and political leader of today's Poland and the ruling camp, who clearly says that he must act against everyone in Poland, that in essence there are no enemies and friends. Because if everyone is either a scoundrel, a traitor, or an idiot, then in essence everyone is working against him. Kosiniak: He gave him the village, but this one knows nothing in the village. Now he regrets it. Hołownia: a capitulator meets with this one, with that one, it is not known with whom and why. It would have been best to replace him, but defeatism.” -- HE WANTS TO ENCHANT THESE PEOPLE WITH THE STORY OF HIS OWN LONELINESS. HE IS THE ONLY NOBLE MAN IN POLAND - CLAIMS ROKITA: “He wants to enchant these people with the story of his own loneliness. He is the only noble man in Poland. He won't do everything he would if he could. But he can't, because there's no way. We have to act collectively. They are still useless for anything. The leader is alone.” -- WHY SUCH A NARRATIVE OF SOLITUDE FOR TUSK? BECAUSE A LONELY LEADER, WHO ALONE HAS GOOD, NOBLE INTENTIONS, MUST BE LISTENED TO. ONE MUST FOLLOW HIM - ROKITA CONCLUDES HIS EXPOSITION ON KANAŁ ZERO: “Why is that? Why such a narrative of solitude for Tusk? Because a lonely leader, who alone has good, noble intentions, must be listened to. One must follow him. One does not need to think about what he is doing, because he alone means well. He makes detours. I have to go in this direction, and in that direction I have to give way – says Tusk. You often don't understand it, but you have to follow me. Because what? Will you follow these traitors, idiots, or me?” https://youtu.be/pkkPP1w3CHo?si=dRV9EB2iWmUFOhY9 -- WE REMIND YOU: SPECIAL STATE OF PLAY: Masterclass with Tusk. A meeting with his system of power after 3 speeches in one week https://300polityka.pl/stan-gry/2025/07/28/specjalny-stan-gry-masterclass-z-tuskiem-spotkanie-z-systemem-jego-wladzy-po-3-wystapieniach-w-jednym-tygodniu/ *** -- NAWROCKI WILL BE THE FIRST SUCH HIGH-RANKING VICTIM OF THE LEGAL HELL THAT PIS COOKED UP FOR THE REPUBLIC - MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “Nawrocki will be the first citizen, and at the same time the first such high-ranking victim of the legal hell that PiS prepared for the Republic during its rule, not so much by reforming the judiciary as by planting mines in various places within the state apparatus.” -- NAWROCKI AND TUSK HAVE TAKEN THE ARMY TO A POLISH-POLISH WAR, NOT COHABITATION - SZUŁDRZYŃSKI AGAIN: “Furthermore, on August 6th, Karol Nawrocki will not only begin his presidency, but another battle in the Polish-Polish war. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but many personal decisions made by Nawrocki are a signal that he is preparing for a confrontation with Donald Tusk and the ruling coalition. The recent government reconstruction should be treated in exactly the same way. Both Tusk and Nawrocki have not so much rearranged the institutions under their charge as they have recruited an army that will fight in subsequent installments of the political conflict, which since almost 40 years ago has customarily been called cohabitation in the French style.” https://www.rp.pl/wszyscy-ludzie-prezydenta/art42799081-michal-szuldrzynski-najbardziej-zagadkowy-prezydent-po-1989-roku-kto-naprawde-bedzie-rzadzic-w-palacu -- THE COALITION WILL SOON MISS DUDĘ - ANTONI DUDEK ON INTERIA: “Judging by the first statements of President-elect Karol Nawrocki, who repeats that he considers Tusk to be the worst prime minister after 1989, one can assume that politicians of the ruling camp will soon miss Duda. As for the majority of Poles, only the passage of time will show how they will assess him in 10 or 20 years.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/kraj/news-10-lat-prezydenta-andrzeja-dudy-koalicja-jeszcze-za-nim-zate,nId,22170505 -- BIRTHDAYS: Genowefa Tokarska, Ireneusz Zyska, Wojciech Brochwicz.
