— QUESTIONS ARE MULTIPLYING WITHIN THE RULING COALITION ABOUT DONALD TUSK HIMSELF. – IS TUSK'S ABSENCE SIMPLY DUE TO A HOLIDAY? – WONDERS TOMASZ ŻÓŁCIAK FROM POLSKA 2050 IN MONEY.PL: "Meanwhile, within the ruling coalition, questions are multiplying about Donald Tusk himself. – Is Tusk's absence simply due to a holiday? – wonders a source from Polska 2050. – It would be a twist of fate if the Prime Minister were now criticized for his own holiday after he tried to accuse Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz of failing to fulfill her duties regarding KPO due to her holiday," he adds. Voices within Lewica suggest that it might be a holiday due to the head of government's planned medical procedure. The PSL is also pondering this. – There are such whispers about the Prime Minister, but we will know for sure on Tuesday when it becomes clear who will chair the Council of Ministers meeting – indicates one of the Peasants' Party representatives.

EVEN THE FOREIGN MINISTER? – CONTINUES ŻÓŁCIAK: "– It so happens that both the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz are on holiday. Deputy Prime Minister Sikorski is also unavailable for some reason, so the only one who can chair Tuesday's meeting is Gawkowski – explains another source from government circles."
