— TRUMP SHOULD BE NICER TO EUROPE – Mazurek on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs memo: “Dear Trump, be nice, don't antagonize Europe.”

— AN INTERN FROM THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IS LECTURING NOT ONLY NAWROCKI, BUT ALSO TRUMP – Mazurek continues.

— FOR TUSK'S GOVERNMENT, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT TRUMP IS NICE TO BERLIN AND BRUSSELS – Mazurek continues.

— NO ONE WILL WRITE THAT WE WILL CENSOR SOCIAL MEDIA, WE WILL REGULATE IT – says Mazurek.

— IF THIS IS THE GOVERNMENT'S POSITION, THEN EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF – says Mazurek: “This bunch of idiots will do something stupid any minute.”

— I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES THAT SOMEONE COULD SEND SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO THE PRESIDENT – Mazurek again.

— OVER 300 THOUSAND VIEWS IN 12 HOURS.

— MEMO REVEALED BY MAZUREK: TUSK'S GOVERNMENT WANTS THE PRESIDENT TO AVOID SIGNALING MILITARY EQUIPMENT PURCHASES FROM THE USA AND TO NOT OPPOSE SOCIAL MEDIA REGULATIONS – ACCORDING TO THE GOVERNMENT'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PRESIDENT: “The government believes that three matters require particular caution. First, it is reasonable to avoid undertaking commitments regarding future purchases of American weaponry due to ongoing analyses of the needs of the Polish Armed Forces. Second, it is advisable to refrain from declaring support for an American entity as the contractor for the nuclear power plant in the second location, as this would constitute interference in the tender procedure. Third, it is necessary to avoid raising the issue of the potential introduction of a digital tax and social media regulations in Poland, without prejudging the outcome of domestic discussions on this matter.”

— I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO HAND SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN FOR A WOS (Civic Education) CLASS, LET ALONE SEND IT TO THE PRESIDENT. THEY ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY – A KEY OFFICIAL FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL CHANCERY TELLS ONET: “At the Presidential Palace, while the final agenda for the Nawrocki–Trump meeting was still being determined, I heard that the document received from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was – to put it colloquially – worthless. – They sent us a 1.5-page document telling us what the president can and cannot say. Frankly, I would be ashamed to hand something like this in for a WOS grade, let alone send it to the president. They are out of touch with reality – a key official from the Presidential Chancery tells Onet.”

It stated that I had a new message in my patient portal. And there was information that my insurance had expired because the employer informed the fund that I no longer worked there. And that if I wanted to, I could buy insurance myself.”

— WE HAVE A DETERIORATION OF THE FISCAL SITUATION, ITS RELAXATION COMPARED TO EARLIER ASSUMPTIONS – JAKUB BOROWSKI IN A CONVERSATION WITH PIOTR SKWIROWSKI IN RZ: “Yes, this is clearly more than expected. The European Commission forecasted a deficit of 6.4% of GDP for 2025, it will be 6.9%. For next year, the EC forecasted 6.1%, but in light of the budget draft, it will be 6.5%. So, we have a deterioration of the fiscal situation, its relaxation compared to earlier assumptions.”

— THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY WEAK IN PLANNING ANYTHING LATELY – PIOTR MIĄCZYŃSKI IN GW: “Whatever figures are entered into next year's budget, they should be treated with great caution. The Ministry of Finance has been exceptionally weak in planning anything lately. Who remembers the matter of six billion zlotys in profit from the NBP, which was included in the 2024 budget? Exactly. According to the ministry, economic growth was supposed to be 3.9% this year (it was known to be impossible, now Domański talks about 3.4%).”

— MUCH INDICATES THAT THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IS STARTING TO FALL APART – PIOTR MIĄCZYŃSKI CONTINUES IN GW: “The budget was amended in 2023. Regarding last year, the Ministry of Finance guaranteed that a budget amendment would not be necessary, but they made one anyway. And this year? Meanwhile, much indicates that this year's budget is starting to fall apart. Domański warned at the conference that the deficit for this year will be greater than assumed: the deficit of the government and local government sector will amount to 6.9% of GDP.”

— THE ROLES HAVE REVERSED, THE LIBERALS FROM KO ARE DEFENDING THE STATE'S RIGHT TO INCREASE REVENUES FROM THE "SOCIALISTS" FROM PIS – AGATA SZCZĘŚNIAK AND DOMINIKA SITNICKA IN OKO.PRESS: “All of this requires the ruling coalition, and primarily Civic Coalition and Donald Tusk, to find themselves in a new reality – where they, the textbook liberals until now, will defend the state's right to increase its revenues against the former "socialists" from PiS. The roles have reversed.”

— KPO EMBARRASSMENT FOR CULTURE – OLIWIA GĘSIARZ IN OKO.PRESS: “The KPO for culture was supposed to be a post-pandemic – albeit significantly delayed – injection of support for organizations that wanted to compensate for pandemic losses and plan further operational possibilities. The program focused on the development of the culture sector, but also the creative sector. Meanwhile, after the announcement of the list of KPO beneficiaries on Monday (August 25, 2025), instead of support, we see rather an embarrassment of the organizers on the horizon.”

— IT LEADS TO SITUATIONS SIMILAR TO THOSE FROM A FEW WEEKS AGO AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF KPO RESULTS FOR ENTREPRENEURS – GĘSIARZ CONTINUES IN OKO.PRESS: “In the current situation, the list of grantees includes objectively weak projects. It looks as if the National Institute of Music and Dance is making every effort to disburse the largest possible amount of funds, while nearly four thousand applications face the prospect of reconsideration.” This, in turn, leads to situations similar to those from a few weeks ago after the announcement of KPO results for entrepreneurs, where internet users were competing to find surprising examples of projects that received funding.”
