— 95TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF PRIME MINISTER JAN OLSZEWSKI.

— THE JAN OLSZEWSKI ARCHIVE FOUNDATION: “He was born into a railway family, not in Warsaw – as is commonly thought – but in Jabłonna near Warsaw, where his parents owned a summer house.
… Nine years of my life passed in the Second Polish Republic…
… I remember my first independent reading – Professor Marian Falski's ‘Elementarz’ (Primer)…
… PKP (Polish State Railways) was an institution with prestige. Employees performed railway, public service. My childhood dream was to become a railwayman when I grew up…”

— MOSBACHER ACCUSES LIBERAL MEDIA OF MANIPULATING HER WORDS: “I was truly outraged today when I saw how mainstream and liberal media distorted and twisted what I said in yesterday's interview for Polsat. Yes, I was really angry.”

— SHE SAID SHE RARELY GIVES INTERVIEWS BECAUSE, AS A PERSON WITH CONSERVATIVE VIEWS, SHE IS OFTEN THE TARGET OF MANIPULATION: “They did the same with yesterday's interview (for Polsat News – editor's note). Suggesting that I blamed Nawrocki's team for him not being invited was an absolutely outrageous and incorrect interpretation of what I said. She stated that she is upset about it because she loves Poland.”

— DEBATE MORAWIECKI-ZANDBERG ON SEPTEMBER 5TH AT 8:00 PM IN DĄBROWA GÓRNICZA:

— “GRANDPA TUSK” IS TO BE LIKE “SLEEPY JOE”, NAWROCKI IS COPYING TRUMP'S STRATEGY – AGATA SZCZĘŚNIAK IN OKO.PRESS: “PiS and President Nawrocki's people are currently portraying Donald Tusk as a weak politician and a weak man. This is a deliberate strategy copied from the USA. It is also a significant narrative shift: until now, in the PiS political narrative, Tusk was the devil incarnate.

— “WEAK” IS THE KEYWORD. THE KEY TO VICTORY AND DEFEAT – SZCZĘŚNIAK CONTINUES IN OKO.PRESS: “In the United States in 2016 and 2024, and now in Poland in 2025. In the past 10 days, we have had more than enough evidence that Karol Nawrocki and his team will use this key to win against Donald Tusk. The report I am quoting here was published two weeks after Joe Biden's disastrous televised debate. However, the strategy expressed by these words (weak, loser, insincere) is much older. Even without the gift that Biden's compromising image was for Trump and the Democrats, the strategists would have played this tune (as they say in campaign slang). It is no longer a secret that Karol Nawrocki's strategists are copying Trump's moves and tactics. Nor is it a secret that PiS politicians and their advisors are diligent students in the American school of running election campaigns.”

— THE GOVERNMENT CURRENTLY HAS NO RESPONSE TO THE NARRATIVE OF A WEAK TUSK – SZCZĘŚNIAK AGAIN IN OKO.PRESS: “It seems that the government currently has no response to the narrative of a weak Tusk and a strong Nawrocki. Is it possible that they are underestimating this narrative?”

— CHAOS IN THE GOVERNMENT, DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER RETURNED FROM VACATION, NO CONTACT WITH HIM BECAUSE HE WAS ON A PLANE AND RETURNED FOR NOTHING – TOMASZ ŻÓŁCIAK IN MONEY.PL: “On Monday, he had to interrupt his foreign vacation. The reason? Gawkowski's people explain that someone had to lead Tuesday's government session, and the other deputy prime ministers – Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz (Tusk's first deputy), Radosław Sikorski – could not for some reason. So it fell to poor Gawkowski, who was returning from Spain on a night flight.

— WŁADYSŁAW KOSINIAK-KAMYSZ WAS TO APPEAR AT THE GOVERNMENT SESSION AS PRESIDING OFFICER, HE FOUND OUT AFTER LANDING IN POLAND – ŻÓŁCIAK CONTINUES IN MONEY.PL: “Let's return to Deputy Prime Minister Gawkowski. While he was still on board the plane (making contact with him practically impossible), he was sincerely convinced that 'the fatherland was calling.' He found out that Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz would appear at the government session as presiding officer only after landing in Poland.

— IT IS ABSURD AND THE RESULT OF A STRANGE CHAOS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY AVOIDED, EVEN WITH A SINGLE PHONE CALL – CLAIMS ŻÓŁCIAK: “The situation was resolved after 12:00 PM when we saw that Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz had indeed taken Donald Tusk's seat. This means that summoning Deputy Prime Minister Gawkowski to Poland was absurd and the result of a strange chaos that could have been easily avoided, even with a single phone call.”

— LET'S CONSIDER THE “SERIOUS” LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES THE COALITION HAS TO FACE HERE, AT HOME – ŻÓŁCIAK'S CONCLUSION: “So, if we criticize the government (and the president) for not being able to organize themselves to fly to Washington with other European leaders, let's consider the 'serious' logistical challenges the coalition has to face here at home. Perhaps then we will start demanding even less, and for any government, this is excellent news.”

— DONALD TUSK'S GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER BEEN RATED SO POORLY: “According to an OGB survey, 23.5% of respondents currently view Tusk's government positively. This is a decrease of 2.5 percentage points in positive ratings over the past month. In contrast, the percentage of negative ratings for the government has increased by 5.2 percentage points. 55.6% of Poles currently view the current government negatively, the study indicates.”

— WE CANNOT COUNT ON PRESIDENT ZELENSKY HERE EITHER. HE AND HIS ENTOURAGE, THE HEAD OF THE UKRAINIAN ADMINISTRATION, ANDRIY YERMAK, ARE KEEPING POLAND AT A CERTAIN DISTANCE – EUGENIUSZ SMOLAR, FOUNDER OF THE CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, IN A CONVERSATION WITH AGATA SZCZĘŚNIAK IN OKO.PRESS: “Let us add, and this is perhaps particularly painful for us, that we cannot count on President Zelensky here either. He and his entourage, the head of the Ukrainian administration, Andriy Yermak, are keeping Poland at a certain distance. Not only for historical reasons, although they are outraged that Poland is demanding exhumations when, in the conditions of a war for survival, one must focus on the most important matters. Historical legacies, the historical memory of Poland's role in ethnically Ukrainian territories in the Second Polish Republic, all of this leads to a set of prejudices, fueled by statements from leading Polish politicians that Ukraine will not join the European Union if it does not come to terms with its past.”

— WE ARE DEALING WITH A CERTAIN PROCESS IN WHICH UKRAINE VIEWS ITS FUTURE ROLE IN EUROPE AS COMPETITIVE WITH POLAND – EUGENIUSZ SMOLAR CONTINUES WITH SZCZĘŚNIAK IN OKO.PRESS: “It cannot be ruled out that, despite the dramatic situation, we are dealing with a certain process in which Ukraine views its future role in Europe as competitive with Poland. Hence the tendencies to make deals on future matters with Berlin, Paris, London, perhaps Rome, but not with Poland. This is the real situation, which I consider a colossal mistake on Ukraine's part.”

— WILD JOY IN MOSCOW HAS TURNED TO FEAR. THAT IS WHY PUTIN WILL PLAY FOR TIME – WACŁAW RADZIWINOWICZ IN GW (Gazeta Wyborcza): “Before the sun rose over Moscow on Tuesday, the Kremlin, in accordance with its iron logic, set about torpedoing what was discussed on Monday at the White House. (…) It is very good that Europe has not been 'overboard' and is trying to act together with America. And it is this that truly frightens the Russians, no matter how much of a brave face they put on a bad situation.”

— THE TALKS IN WASHINGTON AND SUPPORT FOR UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKY HURT MOSCOW – AGNIESZKA JĘDRZEJCZYK IN OKO.PRESS: “The way the event was reported indicates that the talks in Washington and support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hurt Moscow. Ukraine was to receive a promise of meaningful security guarantees there in exchange for considering territorial concessions. And although Donald Trump stopped talking about a truce in Ukraine, and the other participants in the talks accepted it, the peace negotiations themselves were to begin quickly. According to Trump, everything was to be resolved 'in two to three weeks.'

— LAVROV DID NOT DIRECTLY REJECT TRUMP'S PEACE PROJECT. BUT HE MADE HIS PROPOSAL UNREALISTIC – JĘDRZEJCZYK CONTINUES IN OKO.PRESS: “Moscow's statement is precise. Lavrov did not directly reject Trump's peace project. But he made its proposal unrealistic. He cannot do otherwise. In the reality created by Kremlin propaganda, concessions and conflict resolution through negotiations are simply not possible. Russia, according to this propaganda, must conquer Ukraine, or its leadership will cease to exist. Therefore, Lavrov finally confirmed Trump's invitation to Moscow ('Next time in Moscow?' – Putin told Trump in Alaska on August 15th).”

— POLAND WAS NOT AT THE TALKS WITH DONALD TRUMP IN WASHINGTON ON THE MATTER OF UKRAINE BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO OFFER – ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ (Rzeczpospolita): “President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk are providing their core electorates with the desired conflict over a chair that neither of them wanted to occupy. Poland was not at the talks with Donald Trump in Washington on the matter of Ukraine because it has nothing to offer. (…) No one is sending Polish soldiers anywhere. And whoever is not there, does not speak up. So, Finland will be the voice of the region. Polish politicians do not want Poland at the table because they do not need it in domestic politics.”

— DONALD TUSK WILL GIVE FREE APARTMENTS TO MINISTERS AND DEPUTY PRIME MINISTERS – RZ (Rzeczpospolita): “The most important government officials will join the list of politicians who are provided with apartments at taxpayer expense – according to a draft regulation being worked on by the Prime Minister's Chancellery. Unofficially, it is said that the goal is to fill the government housing estate, which is currently empty.”
