-- THE US IS SENDING OPERATIONAL RATHER THAN SYMBOLIC PEOPLE, A TECHNICAL DELEGATION BUT WITH SIGNIFICANT FIREPOWER - JACEK SARYUSZ-WOLSKI: “This wasn’t a ribbon-cutting delegation. These are people tasked with identifying opportunities, testing the partner, and returning to Washington with a report and operational proposals.” -- VINCENT HALEY, HEAD OF THE DOMESTIC POLICY COUNCIL – AS SARYUSZ WRITES: ONE OF THE MAIN ARCHITECTS OF TRUMP’S DOMESTIC POLICY AND CO-CREATOR OF THE AMERICA FIRST 2.0 STRATEGY. His presence signals that Poland will be part of the US’s internal economic calculations – in areas such as energy, manufacturing, and supply chains. -- ROSS WORTHINGTON, DIRECTOR OF SPEECHES FOR TRUMP. HE IS MORE THAN A “SPEECHWRITER”; HE IS A PERSON WHO ANALYZES PARTNERS’ MESSAGES, models the tone of narratives, and identifies common ground and points of contention in international politics. If Worthington flew to Warsaw, it means the new Polish president and his messages will be crucial for the White House’s narrative. https://x.com/JSaryuszWolski/status/195350358526954?s=46&t=K_brXCL7Ambpzi_jCOU9JA -- KRZYSZTOF BOSAK ON KONFEDERACJA’S ATLANTIC OPENING: “Today has been another very intense day of international work! We started with a parliamentary breakfast at PISM, during which we discussed strategic relations with the USA with MPs from other parties and PISM experts. The evening will be dedicated to Polish and American conservatives from the USA, alongside Karina Bosak and Krzysztof Kamiński. All these people were drawn to Warsaw by the president’s inauguration. We are taking this opportunity to develop international relations and showcase Polish hospitality! https://x.com/krzysztofbosak/status/1953506528960426067 -- KRZYSZTOF STANOWSKI: I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THE DAY AFTER THE SECOND ROUND, KAROL NAWROCKI CALLED ME AND OUR DIALOGUE WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS: - Mr. Editor, I’m calling to remind you that you declared you would go to confession if I won. https://x.com/K_Stanowski/status/1953550409823662212 -- KANAL ZERO FILM BEHIND THE SCENES OF KAROL NAWROCKI’S SWEARING-IN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9Vpw0uEKfk -- ANTONI DUDEK ON THE PRIME MINISTER'S SPOT FROM THE PLANE: I don’t know who PDT’s PR advisor is currently, but in my opinion, it’s someone specializing in sabotage. Proof below. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100033197297323 -- REWORKED SPOT: PKN SHOUTS "FORWARD SOLDIERS," SOUNDWAVE SHAKES PDT’S PLANE: https://x.com/copone1dak/status/1953525565358526954?s=46 -- JANUSZ CIESZYŃSKI: After 20 months as Minister of Digital Affairs, Gawkowski has invented his first e-service. What do you think of it? https://x.com/jciesz/status/1953435772997997028 -- "YESTERDAY YOU SCARED ME…" – PRESIDENT NAWROCKI TO MINISTER GAWKOWSKI – COMMENT: "BRAVE ONLINE…": “Yesterday, during the congratulations, PKN reminded Gawkowski of his statement from the eve: 'if the president thinks he’s in charge, he’ll get his paws slapped.' The 'Red' lacked the courage to respond and quickly invited the president to his ministry. But today, as a form of revenge, he installed an app counting down the days to PKN’s term end. I hope the invitation to PKN is still valid. Brave online…” https://x.com/prof_mittelmerz/status/1953490599161528561?s=46&t=K_brXCL7Ambpzi_jCOU9JA -- KAROL NAWROCKI DELIVERED A VERY GOOD SPEECH DURING HIS SWEARING-IN – PIOTR ZAREMBA ON INTERIA: “Karol Nawrocki delivered a very good speech during his swearing-in. People waited for this moment with bated breath, wondering if someone would disrupt the democratic process at the last minute. Nothing of the sort happened. The crowd outside and President Trump’s delegation in the gallery kept watch.” -- THE GOVERNMENT WILL ASK NOT ABOUT IDEOLOGY, BUT ABOUT STATE FINANCES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT – ZAREMBA CONTINUES: “He outlined the battlegrounds with the Tusk government. Holding them accountable for electoral promises, focusing particularly on the topic of major investments, readiness for negotiations, but constantly seeking confrontation. He has draft laws ready and will summon the government to his office in August, meaning a Cabinet Council meeting. He will ask not about ideology, but about state finances and economic development.” -- THE CURRENT AUTHORITIES ARE LEAST INTERESTED IN THE FACT THAT THE MANDATE TO ADHERE TO LAWS STEMS FROM THE CONSTITUTION – PIOTR ZAREMBA AGAIN: “Rule of law is not supposed to mean adherence to specific laws. On the contrary, laws can be broken. Rule of law means adherence to the general idea of the constitution. The fact that the mandate to adhere to laws stems from the constitution is of least interest to the current authorities. This, by the way, was already happening under Adam Bodnar, only he broke them more cautiously, as he was waiting for a coalition president.” -- DUDA WAS PROBABLY TOO WEAK, BUT HE CORRECTED THE REVOLUTIONARY IMPULSES OF KACZYŃSKI’S PARTY. HE THEN OPPOSED TUSK’S ARBITRARINESS – CLAIMS ZAREMBA ON INTERIA: “Subsequent governing teams have an increasing temptation to use their elbows. Andrzej Duda, probably too weakly, corrected the revolutionary impulses of Kaczyński’s party. He then opposed Tusk’s arbitrariness. Nawrocki has a chance to do this even more firmly. A system of checks and balances seems safer – given the increasingly poor political culture and increasingly aggressive polarization in Polish politics.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-nawrocki-chce-nowej-konstytucji-ale-liderzy-partii-swietnie,nId,22172551 -- FEAR OF NAWROCKI IS GROWING IN KO. "SMARTER THAN DUDA" – DOMINIKA DŁUGOSZ ON ONET: “Only when the Prime Minister appreciated Karol Nawrocki’s rhetorical skills did other KO politicians do so. Suddenly, it turned out that the president could be a dangerous opponent who should not be ignored. – He is significantly braver and smarter than Duda – says one high-ranking KO politician. – I wouldn’t dare speak for 40 minutes without notes, and he delivered a very coherent speech. Not profound and complex, but coherent nonetheless.” -- WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE HIS LANGUAGE OR PIS’S LANGUAGE. WE CAN’T EXPLAIN THE WORLD AT SUCH A LEVEL OF POPULISM – ONE OF THE PO DEPUTIES QUOTED BY DŁUGOSZ ON ONET: “– We don’t know how to use his language or PiS’s language – worries one of the PO deputies. – We can’t explain the world at such a level of populism. Everything for us is always too complicated, too difficult. And we also can’t go in such directions because our voters won’t accept it. If we don’t learn to communicate with our voters, we’re done for. Fighting the leader is one thing, but fighting a person with such energy is another.” https://www.onet.pl/informacje/newsweek/politycy-ko-zmieniaja-zdanie-o-karolu-nawrockim-zobaczyli-trudnego-przeciwnika/dw4ehyp,452ad802 -- THE PRESIDENTIAL camp, WHICH CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF YOUNG LAW AND JUSTICE POLITICIANS, WILL BE THE PRIMARY CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS FOR THE RIGHT UNTIL 2027 UNDER THE BANNER OF THE NEW SANACJA – PRZEMYSŁAW SZUBARTOWICZ ON INTERIA. -- IN THESE POST-POLITICAL TIMES, NEITHER CYNICAL POLITICS OF LOVE NOR PRUDENT WAITING WILL PASS THE TEST – SZUBARTOWICZ CONTINUES ON INTERIA: “How Tusk will respond to this type of 'active presidency' remains a separate issue, especially since Nawrocki’s plans involve putting the government in a double nelson, thus leaving them with no way out. Perhaps the coalition – remembering that Rafał Trzaskowski received 10 million votes, only slightly less than Nawrocki – will also begin to invoke the will of the nation and opt for a sharp confrontation, especially since in these post-political times, neither cynical politics of love nor prudent waiting will pass the test. -- PERHAPS WITH NAWROCKI’S PRESIDENCY INAUGURATION, WE ARE ENTERING THE MOST SPECTACULAR PHASE OF THE POLISH-POLISH WAR – SZUBARTOWICZ’S CONCLUSION ON INTERIA: “This conflict, maintained out of necessity by both sides in a spirit of total polarization, distances us from mending the community in the face of geopolitical threats. Perhaps with Nawrocki’s presidency inauguration, we are entering the most spectacular phase of the Polish-Polish war, in which the state and its institutions will be the biggest losers.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-karol-nawrocki-nie-bedzie-golebiem-pokoju,nId,22172531 -- THE COALITION’S (AND KONFEDERACJA’S) HOPES THAT A CONFLICT WILL ERUPT BETWEEN NAWROCKI AND KACZYŃSKI WILL NOT BE FULFILLED; NAWROCKI AND KACZYŃSKI WILL REMAIN "GLUED TOGETHER BY TUSK" – CEZARY MICHALSKI ON INTERIA: “Nawrocki’s views place him to the right of Kaczyński and PiS. The new president is more nationalistic, more clerical, and more anti-EU than Kaczyński. However, the coalition’s (and Konfederacja’s) hopes that a conflict will erupt between Nawrocki and Kaczyński will not be fulfilled. The composition of the president’s cabinet and his initial declarations show that Nawrocki and Kaczyński will remain 'glued together by Tusk.' For two years, they will pursue one common goal: removing Tusk from power.” -- KACZYŃSKI MANAGED TO PRESENT "ANTI-TUSKISM" AS THE CORE OBLIGATION OF THE ENTIRE POLISH RIGHT – MICHALSKI CONTINUES ON INTERIA: “Kaczyński managed (not without Tusk’s involvement, who thought such polarization served him better) to present 'anti-Tuskism' as the core obligation of the entire Polish right, before which ideological nuances become irrelevant. Konfederacja, of course, has a problem with such a prioritization. The Confederates, like Hołownia once did, gathered a portion of their growing electorate under the banner of the 'third way,' maintaining an equal (or at least significant) distance from both the 'cunning Tusk' and the 'socialist Kaczyński.' That is why Mentzen and Wipler are increasingly polemicizing with PiS, and why Mentzen was not at Nawrocki’s inauguration.” -- NAWROCKI’S FRESHNESS AND RADICALISM ARE A MURDEROUS WEAPON AGAINST THEM, AS LONG AS, OF COURSE, NAWROCKI REMAINS IN CLOSE CONNECTION WITH NOWOGRODZKA – MICHALSKI AGAIN: “Nawrocki’s freshness and radicalism are a murderous weapon against them, as long as, of course, Nawrocki remains in close connection with Nowogrodzka. Kaczyński and Nawrocki will inevitably clash in the struggle for the division of power and the ideological shaping of that power. However, this will only happen when (if) there is something to divide, meaning only when (if) Tusk loses power.” https://wydarzenia.interia.pl/felietony/news-kaczynski-i-nawrocki-zlepieni-przez-tuska,nId,22172868 -- BIRTHDAYS: Bp.
