— UNEMPLOYMENT IN JULY. VACATION DATA SHOULD NOT LOOK LIKE THIS – MONEY: “In July 2025, the registered unemployment rate increased to 5.4 percent – 0.2 percentage points more than in June and 0.4 points more than a year earlier. There were 830.8 thousand unemployed registered at employment offices, which means an increase of 8.5 percent compared to July 2024. The data may be concerning – holidays are usually a period of declining unemployment”.

— THE SLOGAN "ANYTHING BUT WEBER" SOUNDED IN ZABRZE LIKE "ANYTHING BUT KO". AND IT WORKED – PRZEMYSŁAW JEDLECKI IN GW: “Ewa Weber reached the ceiling of possible support in the first round. Just look at the numbers – in the second round, she gained only a little over 3,000 more votes than in the first round. The slogan circulating in Zabrze, "Anything but Weber," which was perfectly associated with the recent "Anything but Trzaskowski," turned out to be effective. Kamil Żbikowski gathered votes that previously went to his rivals, mainly Borówka (PiS) and Dziębowski (Konfederacja)”.

— EVERY DAY MORE AND MORE, SHE BECAME THE PLATFORM'S CANDIDATE. HER COLLEAGUES WERE CRUSHING THE ELECTORATE INSTEAD OF BUILDING IT UP – JEDLECKI STILL IN GW: “What did the KO and PO activists do about it? Immediately after the first round, they announced that the KO candidate had defeated all rivals in Zabrze. They rejoiced at the victory over PiS. Then they "platformized" the elections even more. More and more activists started coming to Zabrze to support Ewa Weber. They wanted to help, but in reality, they were counterproductive. Weber, even if she wanted to seek additional votes outside the PO electorate, could not be effective in this. Every day she became more and more the Platform's candidate. Her colleagues were crushing the electorate instead of expanding it”.

— KAROL NAWROCKI HAS ALREADY STARTED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2030 ELECTIONS, AND IF HE CONTINUES TO BE SO EFFECTIVE, HE WILL WIN RE-ELECTION IN THE FIRST ROUND – MICHAŁ SZADKOWSKI IN NEWSWEEK: “I bet that this Nawrocki offensive will be painfully effective. Soon, the president will start enjoying support in the polls significantly exceeding that during the elections. It might be a coincidence, but at the moment, everything indicates that PiS and its associates have a plan for what to do and what not to do until the parliamentary elections. And the coalition of October 15 is not even dealing with scandals that do not exist. Not to mention the fact that there is no intention to win over voters who like the man from under the dark star in the presidential palace. And this is not a margin, but 10.6 million people. If it continues like this, there will be no one left for the sharpest positions in 2027, let alone in 2030. The arrangement may be finalized after the next elections. This time more effectively than before”.

— GET READY, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, THIS IS HIS DEEPEST CONVICTION THAT WE MUST BE TOUGH WITH UKRAINIANS – JACEK GĄDEK'S INTERVIEWEE ON ONEWIEW: “- This is not cold calculation or ruthlessness. Nawrocki simply has such convictions. This is his deepest conviction that we must be tough with Ukrainians. He is absolutely anti-Ukrainian – admits one of our interlocutors. Another warns: – Get ready, this is just the beginning. – Look at what Nawrocki said in Chełm on the anniversary of Bloody Sunday – suggests another person working in the Presidential Chancellery”.

— NAWROCKI HAS NO BLOCKADES: OH DEAR, SOMEONE MIGHT GET OFFENDED – ANOTHER VOICE IN GĄDEK'S TEXT: “People around Nawrocki assure that such tough actions towards Ukrainians from the president should be expected. – Karol Nawrocki does not have the blockades that people who have been in politics longer have: oh dear, someone might get offended – emphasizes someone from his circle”.

— THE PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT THE JUNE 1 ELECTIONS GIVE HIM A MANDATE TO CREATE A POWER CENTER PARALLEL TO THE GOVERNMENT AND PARLIAMENT – MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ: “In this way, the president wants to become not only a co-leader with the government in foreign or defense policy but also the direct superior of the government. The president believes that the June 1 elections give him a mandate to create a power center, as it were, parallel to the government and parliament, which received democratic legitimacy in the 2023 elections”.

— SINCE THE PLATFORM IS SO FOCUSED ON FIGHTING ALCOHOL ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH EXCISE TAXES, WHY IS THE NIGHTTIME ALCOHOL SALES BAN IN WARSAW FAILING? MORE AND MORE DISTRICTS ARE AGAINST IT – AS WOJCIECH KARPIESZUK WRITES IN GW: “- Civic Coalition wants to reject both resolutions on limiting night alcohol sales in Warsaw. Not only the one prepared by the Left, but also the one prepared by Mayor Trzaskowski. They want to do it subtly, through the hands of KO district councilors. I heard from one of them that there was a meeting with the head of the city council club, Jarosław Szostakowski, and there is an order to vote against it. And later in the city council, they will say: The districts don't want it – I hear from one of the independent district councilors. A similar story was told by a local government official from another district”.

— BUT DEPUTY MINISTER NENEMAN STILL WANTS TO FIGHT "CHEAP VODKA" AND ATTACKS THE PRESIDENT IN MONEY: “Poles think that Nawrocki's presidency means 'expensive electricity and cheap vodka.' I think I don't need to add anything more, except that Poles are a wise nation – states the deputy minister”.

— NAWROCKI WILL SHOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO TAKE MONEY FROM BANKS – STILL IN ŻÓŁCIAK'S PIECE IN MONEY: “Karol Nawrocki will show that there are other ways to take money from banks. For example, loan holidays can be extended or a so-called progressive CIT on bank loans can be introduced. This way, he will send a signal to the banks: 'if you earn more on mortgages, you will pay more CIT.' This will force lower margins, and people will benefit from it – explains an interlocutor from the president's circle”.

— KAROL NAWROCKI'S CIRCLE HAS CREATED ANOTHER WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST DONALD TUSK'S GOVERNMENT. AND THIS BLOW CAN BE VERY PAINFUL IN TERMS OF IMAGE – DOMINIKA SITNICKA IN OKO.PRESS: “Once again, right-wing rhetoric is backfiring on KO. It turns out that one cannot imitate the ideas of the far-right with impunity and in a watered-down version. The price is paid: liberal and left-wing voters are alienated, and right-wing voters are not gained. Because there are 'better' ones who push their extreme ideas to the end”.
